Starting a Business
"I am ready. Where do I start?"
"I have already started a business plan but I think I may be missing something."
"I was looking at the finances of my business. How do I know the numbers are accurate?
This is the time where most mistakes happen. Starting a business is more than hard work. It starts with understanding that business, like any other trade or career, is a science. There are basics, starting with understanding the difference between an entrepreneur and a business person. As learned in the Exploring Self-Employment program, it is also important to understand the relevance of a business plan and how each module within the plan, works.
Unfortunately, the fact is that sometimes we do not know what we do not know.
