Start a Business 101

You Have a Business Idea. Now What?

Most people who want to start a business never actually do it, not because they lack the idea, but because nobody shows them exactly where to begin. Start a Business 101 by Shi Gladney, founder of UR Beauty and the UnmistakablyRare Academy, is the best beginner's guide that walks you from "I have an idea" to a fully operational, legally launched business.

Shi built a seven-figure beauty brand from the ground up in Las Vegas, and she's sharing everything she knows so you don't have to learn the hard way.

• Source the right vendors and products that actually sell to your target audience
• Take professional product photos that attract buyers and convert sales
• Build a shipping system that scales, so your business doesn't fall apart when orders come in
• Create systems and automation to run your business efficiently
