Who do we work with?

We work with people who are thinking about starting a business, but have not yet done so.

Many of our clients are approaching retirement but feel much too young to stop working. They are thinking about starting a business to keep busy and to generate some additional income, but they are not sure if it is the right thing to do.

Other clients are in the corporate world but want to escape. They have worked really hard to build and support someone else's business; now they want to work at building something for themselves.

A third group of clients want to add a home-based business to their current life to generate extra income and learn new skills

What does it take to make this work?

It is really important to use that we work with you, not for you, so there are some traits you need to have to make this successful.

You need to be excited and articulate about starting a business. If you are not excited about it, who else is going to be! You need to be able to explain to other people why your product or service is great; you need to tell potential customers what problems you can solve and why. This doesn't mean you have to be a great speaker or a great writer, but your eyes have to sparkle when you tell us about your business and the difference it makes in people’s lives.

You need to be committed to do the work required to start a business. There are some tedious parts to starting and running a business, and things don't happen overnight. If you are going to quit at the first difficult task, you are just going to waste our time and yours.

You want to make a difference, and be successful. The number one criteria for success is that you are excited about your business and committed to do the work required to make your business a success.
