Before you start your own business
Are you REALLY an Entrepreneur or more an Intrapreneur or Employee?
In the first decade of the 21st century change is all around us. Should you wait for it to catch up with you or instigate it yourself?
Are you seriously thinking of setting up in business for yourself? If so, are you likely to soar or fall flat on your face?
Should you maybe do your best to secure your current job instead or go all out for a better one?
Is there some kind of middle ground, like being a franchisee or rep/ agent?
What do you need to think about/ research/ investigate? What are your skills, assets and passions – yes, go on, go for it, passions best aligned to?
If you’re thinking of BIG changes, make sure your decisions are based on emotions and data.
PS: If having people around you is a big part of your working day, it’s worthwhile thinking seriously about how you’re going to replace that social interaction before setting up on your own.
