I mentor a lot of Maverick Business Owners and it's easy to distract oneself on things with all the things that we think we must know before we start!<BR/><BR/>Have you considered the following questions?<BR/><BR/>1) do you have a clear business proposition? <BR/>2) Can you articulate it well? <BR/>3) What's your strategy?<BR/>4) How will you market yourself? (SEO, networking, advocacy, PR etc)<BR/><BR/>Answering the strategic questions (like those above, amongst others) will enable you to answer the tactical ones. I have no doubt that you can easily find the answers to the questions that you pose.<BR/><BR/>When do you go self employed? and good luck.<BR/><BR/>Best Regards<BR/><BR/>Judith Germain<BR/>www.developing-leadership.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14184878.post-69343619685058325782008-09-03T22:52:00.000+01:002008-09-03T22:52:00.000+01:00best of luck with this I watch with interest.LMS ...best of luck with this I watch with interest.<BR/><BR/>LMS - I posted on Tony K's blog here:<BR/>https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22055982&postID=5058683277958196229<BR/><BR/>really good starting point.
