Top advice Jodie (as usual)!

Write down all the skills you already have - it would be way better to build something on that rather than having to learn a whole new skill set on top of starting up. Between the both of you, I'm sure you will have plenty to offer.

Don't get caught in the trap of dreaming of the "easy" stuff like advertising, business cards etc. If you are realistic from the start you can save yourself alot of stress. In fact many people do a business plan and realise it won't be viable before they start. Then go back and start again. It gives you great confidence having a solid business plan.

Obviously you aren't at that stage yet, but like I said before, have a lot of fun brainstorming and really shoot for the stars.

I had a home business for about 2 years, the benefits are terrific, but it doesn' t mean it will be easy. Then again it doesn't mean you won't have a great time. Having a partner can be a huge plus too!
