If you want to start a business in 2005, and start making money almost immediately, sites listed below are some of best I have found. I've chosen each site because it is absolutely outstanding in providing tools you need to get started, as well as taking you through steps you need to get started immediately.

My1stBusiness.com - http://www.my1stbusiness.com - This site is owned by Ben Botes, who is currently working on a doctoral degree in business. Ben will take you through every phase of creating your business, and it doesn't matter how large or small it is. You'll find all of information you need right here.

Teleclasses are currently free, and you'll find a wide variety of top notch business coaches to help you build your business.

This site is scheduled to go to a paid model soon, but it will definitely be worth price tag. If you're looking for a one stop solution to constantly update your business knowledge, and stay ahead of your competition, this is it.

Ron Olinger - http://ronolinger.ws - Everyone needs a little motivation, and Ron is guy to help you with that.

He offers a newsletter called "Winning Attitudes" that is absolutely dynamite. You'll find lots of quality tips and information. Definitely a must read if you are struggling to get started.

Not your run of mill newsletter, it will help you achieve what you want to achieve in both your persona and professional life.

Ultimate Marketing Center - http://www.ultimatemarketingcenter.com - Hands down, this is best web host on Internet.

However, reason I selected this site as a business site is this: it is a complete and total solution for starting your business.

You'll get a complete web hosting account with all of bells and whistles, as well as 1000s of dollars in software and ebooks to teach you everything you need to know about building a business.

However, more often than not, these people shut down their computers at night, having spent much more than they have earned. Why...?

This, 'spend more, make none,' syndrome is so very prevelant because people expect something for nothing, and in cyberspace, as in real world, 0 + 0 = 0. The Internet does not guarantee business success. All it does is provide individuals with opportunity to start a business with a much lower overhead than in real world. If you've got no head for a brick and mortar business, chances are that you aren't going to be any more successful building a business online. The reality is that you cannot just join a program, hang out a shingle and expect money to roll in. And it doesn't matter what program you join, or how many programs you join. Building and maintaining a business is a skill that must be learned.

Most of gurus of today have been successful off line, prior to experiencing online glory. What they have done is to take their skills from real world and apply them to realm of Internet. Therefore, if you have no off line skills to bring to Internet, you'd better get some. There's a lot more competition out here.

Another cause for shutting down broke each day is that a great many people spend their time online, joining every program that sounds good. They spend all their money on monthly memberships to every program under sun, and have nothing left over to actually run business with. TIP: When someone calls you asking about your business, you should never have to answer with, "Which one?"
