Using your strengths

I've recently been giving presentations on the topic of "Entrepreneurship: Is it right for You?"
Many people want to earn extra money on the side or transition from jobs they no longer enjoy. When you are considering your possibilities, you might think about the following:

  1. Do you have some skills that you could use in your own business? Computer technology, consulting in an area where you have worked or currently work, or sales experience?
  2. Consider your resources. Do you have enough funding to get started?
  3. What are the relevant tax and business laws in your geographic area?
  4. Do you know how to write a business plan or marketing plan?

I hope these will assist you in thinking about your possibilities in the future. Don't hesitate to call if you need assistance. I always consult with interested persons for a half hour for free. Ardis
