Unknowledgeable

I know nothing about small businesses. I know nothing about running a small business. I know nothing about being a business owner. I know nothing about what I am doing.

As heARTworks continues to blossom, I am beginning to wonder what to do?

And, it's slightly scary...

When do I worry about keeping a portion in an account for taxes? Do I keep a separate account to track money made and business spending? At what point do I begin to think about some sort of real advertising, or do I at all? When do I begin to really invest myself in it and take risks?

I did a fairly large job last week.. I lined up another this week. It's not like a full time job by any means, but it is a time commitment. And I feel that if I were to invest more time, I would have more jobs. As it is now, I don't have advertising at all, other than word of mouth and a facebook page.

When do I think about making it a legal business by getting incorporated? Who do I even talk to about these things?

As I type this, there was a blurb on the news about taxes...and the lady stated that starting a small business can be a tax writeoff for up to $10,000. I don't even know what that means.....

Oh...what to do...what to do....
