Yet - that's precisely what many new starters in America are doing. In an ocean of misinformation and a whirlwind of advice from people who never have run their own business, it is easy to feel overwhelmed and take the (presumably) easiest route. ...just get me through this, right?
Alas, this is the mistake many predators are just waiting for.
You, however, don't have to fall prey.
