Employee to Entrepreneur - Let's Get Started

Have you been downsized, rightsized, reduced, eliminated, adjusted or layed off?  Many have, me too.  We  are professionals with decades of experience, expertise and energy, are we entrepreneurs too?

Perhaps you're toying with the notion of starting your own business but you have questions, concerns and more honestly- doubts.  Relax that's normal, it's healthy and exactly what you should feel.  The key is identifying those doubts, addressing them honestly and putting a plan in place to manage them.

In this blog you will  find tips on managing your mind and then managing the start up of a new enterprise.  Step by step we'll walk through the process.  From the business idea to developing the financial plan, marketing, operations and ultimately a business plan than gets results, we can do it.

If you were an employee, you were also an entrepreneur.  Don't believe me...answer these quick questions:

  • Did you takes risks?
  • Did you make decisions?
  • Did you doubt yourself?
  • Did you make mistakes and correct them? 

If you answered yes to any question, you have been an entrepreneur - you just didn't work for yourself.  Check out Webster's definition.

Here's some food for thought - every business was once a small business -- think about it.
