| Finding a job is .... a fulltime job and often the availability for the right job just isn't there.
What then?
Many people have taken this as a sign that maybe the time is right for them to consider their other dream......to START THEIR OWN BUSINESS!
Often people take what they love to do and can do well and instead of job searching they take the opportunity to have their own business which often starts as a home based business.
If this is of interest to you, then ......the really hard work starts!
First and foremost, you have to do Research! Research! Research!!!! And then research some more before !!!
Statistics have shown that the main reason for small business failure is often due to lack of research!
RESEARCH EVERYTHING!!!
Where do you start?
First of all start with A Feasibility Study.
Is it feasible to start a business? The first study is on you yourself! There are a series of questions that you have to honestly answer about yourself, your background, your interest, your work ethics, your characteristics. and see if you have what it takes to be an entrepreneur. These questions are asked to make you more aware of what is involved and to confirm your commitment.
There are many different free tests and feasibility studies - I have attached one study on our Starting a Small Business site. You can access this or try many others found on the internet.
When developing your feasibility study you are really doing RESEARCH and asking every question you can think of about ever angle of your business idea.
Tips about developing your feasibility study, and other Small Business start-up resources are available on this site and at your MFRC.
