So, you say you don't want to be a consultant for a direct sales company...you're tired of all the business opportunities you've seen and think you have an idea for a business that would be satisfying and more profitable? You go girl!!
I think that is fabulous.
To start a home business takes courage and ambition. This is natural for us women! Child birth takes some courage for sure!
Women entrepreneurs are growing by the numbers--and I don't mean just those that decide to go into direct sales. I'm talking about women that start their OWN company or start a home business from the ground up.
Have you ever been driving home from work, or picking your child up and thought--wow, I have a great idea to start a home business? It just HITS you? Or have you thought about having a particular type of business all your life-and just didn't know where to start, or money was an issue?
Well--don't let that stop you. I've been cruising around the internet quite a long time and I found some interesting and helpful info for you.
A business plan. Yep--that dreaded plan is necessary. So start working on it! You can't possibly know how to start without a beginning. And this plan can be your blueprint and help you keep from making drastic mistakes.
First off--see if there is a local SCORE (http://www.score.org/) organization in your area--or in a city close by. SCORE "Counselors to America's Small Business" is a nonprofit association dedicated to providing entrepreneurs with free, confidential face-to-face and email business counseling. Business counseling and workshops are offered at 389 chapter offices across the country.
