Most Profitable Businesses for 2021

05. Success depends on many factors, and choosing a business on a Top 10 list is NOT one of those factors.

04. There are thousands of other businesses not on this list that can be (and are) very successful.

03. This list will change every day. It can’t be regarded as “accurate”.

02. Your business must fit your strengths, abilities, and personality to be successful and enjoyable for you.

01. You might not know much (or anything at all) about any of those top businesses. Actually, you may not know anything about running any kind of business, and you don’t have anyone with a proven track record to mentor and train you.

There are many steps involved in starting any business that will require your focus, determination, and commitment to complete. Preparation is absolutely essential, but a staggering percentage of entrepreneurs just “jump right in” without any preparation. Or knowledge. Or goals. Or even a clue of what to expect when they dive in head first.

If you are serious about starting a business, the FIRST thing you have to do is LEARN ABOUT THE BUSINESS you’ve chosen.

Learn First. Start Second. Never the other way around.

If a boxer steps into the ring for a prizefight without training, conditioning, and learning about their opponent, they will most likely lose...even if they are a superior fighter. Get it? Learn First. Start Second.

Honestly, it can be difficult and time consuming to LEARN FIRST. How do you find a “niche” that’s right for you? How do you evaluate products and services that you could provide? How do you know if your business will bring in profit? How do you attract customers to your business? Where do you get your product or your raw materials? How do you know what your competitors are doing now, and what they are going to do next? How do you analyze your business for results? What business laws do you need to know? How do you choose the software and other tools that you will need? How should you schedule and manage your time?

Yes, it’s a lot, and it can seem overwhelming. If you start searching online for real business answers, prepare yourself. You will find millions of search results that give high level, general information, much of which is outdated or irrelevant to what you are trying to learn.

I’ve been there and done that. Spending 8 hours online trying to track down a real answer to only one simple question is not the best use of your time and energy. Making a habit of trying to learn about business by searching for all of you answers online will dampen your enthusiasm and increase your frustration. There is a better way to LEARN FIRST, and yes, I’m going to tell you exactly what it is.
