Do you wish you could find a job that will let you work from home and make your own schedule? Have you ever considered becoming an entrepreneur and owning your own business?
Many people start a business because they think they have a great idea, or a product or service that will make money. Some people start because think that they can do something better than the businesses already out there. Other people are introduced to a business by a friend, and join because the timing is right or they love the product line.
When you decide to jump into entrepreneurship, here are some thoughts to consider:
- Who would be your customers?
- Where could you find these customers?
- How much money do you need to start this business?
- What makes your business special?
- Are you passionate about what you will be doing?
- What other resources do you need?
- What’s your financial goal?
- Are you willing to invest a lot of time and energy into this business?
