Are you an Entrepreneur?

It is estimated that there are 42,000,000 self employed and small business owners with no employees in the United States.

In the second part of this weekly post, you should consider the following aspects of entrepreneurship:

5. Find your industry partners to assist you with your business success. This may include a banker, attorney, accountant, and accountability mentor. It there are licenses, permits, and approvals to launch your business, make sure you are following local, state and federal laws.

People will gravitate to an expert or superior quality or outstanding service. Integrity will last forever.

6. Your business plan should be supplemented with a solid but flexible marketing plan. 2011 will be a changing marketplace simply because the economy will gain positive momentum on an irregular basis and your marketing approach should change on a regular basis.

It is clear the internet and various websites will be the most viable way to connect with clientele in the future. Everyone will be concentrating on how to ride the wave of positive change – perhaps we should show how it can be accomplished.

My suggestion is for you to join LinkedIn for professional networking opportunities. Please view my LinkedIn profile. www.LinkedIn.com/in/djohnsonpe

7. My brother has always said – “you are in business when you have your first client”. Your product or service must be an over whelming value. Prepare relentlessly in finding and making your first client a repeat paying customer!
