Hello,

I've recently finished reading The Millionaire Fastlane and found it very intriguing. After thinking about it for a few days I'm still stuck at this legitimate concern: "Where do I start?". I have no experience in business, and would have no idea what I was doing when dealing with investors and clients/customers. I found it strange that the author took venture capital money from investors in the first place; his business was mostly passive at that point right, so why did he need more money for the business? If it wasn't obvious until now I'm pretty confused when it comes to businesses, so what I'm asking if for resources that will help me get better associated with business terms and practices, as well as resources on how to attract customers and finding a winning idea to sell. I'm looking to start a business online if that helps. Thanks a lot!
