I'm thinking of starting my own business

[dannym]

I'm thinking of starting my own business and would like comments or suggestions on how to get started, manage the business, etc...
What I can expect. What kind of computer based programs are helpful. Anything you can think of.

Specifically I'm thinking of opening a coffee shop somewhere close to Deltona/Deland FL. I'm thinking of getting large industrial size roasters and roasting my own coffee beans on site. I picture a nice relaxed atmosphere with internet access, a quiet section with bookshelves and maybe an area with tv's.
Eventually I would like to get into the commercial office coffee supply. And eventually selling brand name coffee over the internet.

I'm in the early stage of putting together a business plan.
Then I'll incorporate, get a federal FEIN number.

I really hope I can get a grant/s or low interest loans. I don't really have a lot of my own startup money.

So what do you think?
