Is 2014 the year you finally put your innovation and entrepreneurial drive to work and start your own business?

Come on, admit it. You've toyed with the thought for a while. You had a business idea that was just a seed a month ago, but now has grown into something you believe can actually work.

Entrepreneurs are a unique offspring of the American dream, laser-focused in their belief that they can change the world by scribbling an idea on the back of a cocktail napkin and abandoning caution to turn that idea into a successful and profitable enterprise. We celebrate that at Entrepreneur, which is the online community for these dreamers, builders and executives.

Start here to realize your dream. Over the New Year's holiday, we are giving you the best of our advice on starting a business. Learn the basics you need to start a company, hire employees, market your product and seal the deal with customers.

Think of it as a toolkit for innovators. You made your New Year's resolution to start a business. Let us help you keep it.
