Have you ever considered becoming self
employed?
In today's economy, it may make more
sense than ever to consider becoming
self employed. Unemployment levels
are rising quickly and job competition
is greater than ever.
I've learned in life, sometimes, if
you can't find the right job (or
any job for that matter), you may be
better off creating one for yourself.
One of the greatest gifts you can give
yourself is
to become self reliant in anything you
do. Whether it's fixing your own car or
running your own business, having the
ability to take charge of your own
destiny is priceless. Many people
unknowingly have the ability and skills
to start and run their own business
successfully, but simply lack the
experience and confidence to
do so. That's where I come in... I
can share with you my first hand
experience in everything from the DOT.COM Boom to the Real Estate Melt
down. I have had the good fortune of
transacting literally millions of
dollars in real Estate loans, and have also
personally endured complete financial
loss including foreclosure. These unique
experiences have allowed me to provide
you with hands on, life changing
experience in not only what to do, but
more importantly, what not to do.
Being self employed requires you to
wear many hats. One of the problems for
most new start ups is the initial
confusion of where to start. Hiring,
Firing, Branding,
Finance, Taxes, Accounting, Marketing,
Sourcing, Sales, and Service are just a few of the
initial concerns. You may have the
best product, or provide the best
service, but if the public doesn't know
you exist. You don't
exist...
I can
save you a lot of time, money and
headaches by providing you a highly
customized, step by step business plan
that will prevent many of the pitfalls
that cause most startup businesses to
fail.
Each
business plans begins with a one on one
consultation to determine your
individual business and personal goals,
and is followed up with my dedication
to work with you to ensure that you
reach your goals successfully.
Existing Business Consulting
If
you already have an established
business, and are experiencing the
"plateau effect" I also provide
performance audits to help you hone your
business. Sometime as entrepreneurs, we
grow accustom to doing things a certain
way. For the most part this is fine
until we hit the "Plateau". It is
at this point that we need to be open to
change and realize that the same actions
we have been taking will not necessarily
result in the same outcome it always
has. I know, this is in total opposition
to what most "experts" will tell you.
Most "experts" will tell you that that
if you keep doing the same thing to
expect the same results. Experience on
the other hand has taught me that this
isn't always the case. Let me give you
an example. Say for example you have
always spent $100.00 per week on flyers,
and that this has always returned say
2%. Now all of a sudden that same
$100.00 per week isn't returning
anything. It's not that advertising
itself doesn't work. It's that how you
have advertised in the past isn't
working today even though you're doing
the same exact thing. The key is to
determine what has changed around you
and to take the steps necessary to
correct for it. This is one reason why
an audit is such a necessity.
My
audits consist of evaluating your
current business practices from a
neutral, third party perspective.
Together, we will evaluate you business
as a whole and refine those areas that
are not performing up to par. As
the old saying goes " A penny saved is a
penny earned" could not be more true
today. Not only will we look at the
obvious - Sales, Advertising etc., but
also, Social Networking, Suppliers, Telephone Systems,
Scheduling, Taxes, Payroll, Web Site
Optimization, Utilities, Insurance,
Workmans Comp, Client Acquisition
Costs,Self Insurance, and Outsourcing as
well as Insourcing.
Feel free to call me to discuss
preparation of your personal business plan.
