An article on Page 1J in The Dallas Morning News on October 10, 2010, by North American Precis Syndicate, “Self-Employment Can Help Fuel Recovery”, stresses the importance of self-employment to the US economy. As a SCORE (Counselors to Small Business), I have opportunities to assist many individuals who have or plan to begin their own business. Typically such individuals are energetic, creative, and risk takers. Unfortunately many lack adequate financial resources to start a small business.
There three basic approaches to becoming self-employed or opening a small business: start from scratch, buy a franchise, or buy an existing business. If you have special skills in fields such as information systems, engineer, and health care, you might consider becoming an independent contractor or a contract employee. Regardless of the approach taken, getting busy with a potential income producing activity is much better than remaining at home hoping for lightening to strike! Please review the tools available for small businesses at www.score.org.
Please share with readers of this blog your ideas about self-employment.
Thanks! Glyn
