So you've decided to start your own business. While getting your business running might be tough, many small business owners have found that this is one of the best decisions they have ever made. The ability to decide for yourself what directions your business will take can be liberating and wonderful. Not to mention the fulfillment you feel when you succeed in your goals.

Bezos was born Jeffrey Preston Jorgensen in Albuquerque, New Mexico. His mother divorced his father shortly after his birth, and later married Miguel Bezos, who legally adopted Jeff after the marriage. As a young boy, Jeff Bezos showed in interest in science. One of his earliest science projects was rigging an electric alarm to keep his siblings out of his room. The family moved to Miami where Bezos attended high school and was valedictorian.

First, you have to study math as much as you can starting from a young age. If possible, take as many advanced math and computer in high school as you can. Then pursue a Bachelor's degree in accounting. You will want to major in either that or forensic accounting if the major is available. They will teach you the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) that will be necessary to know for any accounting position.

After you graduate, you will have to take ethics courses, the Uniform Certified Public Accountant Examination, a best practices exam for your state, an oath, and work supervised for a defined period of time in order to become a Certified Public Accountant (CPA). This process typically takes a year and can be done while simultaneously working.

While you may feel like your business has great potential, you need to make sure that others feel the same way about your products or services. Take the time to talk to other people and establish (first of all) if anyone is interested in what your business would offer.

The recent Supreme Court ruling that exempted online retailers from having to collect sales taxes from states where they did not have a physical presence caused his to move to Washington, since the lower population would reduce the amount of people that would need to pay sales tax.

Bezos decided that his company would sell books online, due to their low price points and wide variety of titles available. Within two months, Amazon's sales were up $20,000 per week, and they were continuing to increase.

Instead, prepare yourself for the adventure by talking to friends or acquaintances who have started businesses themselves.

If you are looking to become a certified forensic accountant there are degrees such as business and finance in Cheyenne. These programs are great starts to a career in the FBI or CIA. You could become one of the force's special agents that trace numbers and money to find the culprits that are creating injustice for the world.
