Small business ownership:
Do you have what it takes?

* be your own boss mo

* introduce a new product or service _

* take advantage of a business opportunity.

* seek an alternative to your current career

° make better use of your skills and knowledge

While these are all valid reasons to want your own business, it has to make sense for you.

As rewarding and fulfilling as owning .a small business can be, it can be a challenge. Small business J.
_ owners suggest you: ask, yourself these questions so. that you can ensure that you're best prepared for
success: ‘

Do you want to be in control? Running your own business sounds great, but you have to be prepared to
“take responsibility of the business.

- Are you prepared to work long hours and make: sacrifices? Starting a small business requires a lot of time |
and patience. ”

Do.you like taking initiative and making decisions? To make it through the start-up phase; you need
: plenty of initiative and drive. And it doesn’t stop there. A business needs constant care and management. 5

Are you prepared to weather the business cycles of highs and lows? Circumstances can change almost
dally. Be comfortable in being flexible and adapting to new conditions. — ;

' Are you equally at ease in.a leadership role as you are about paying the invoices and doing the filing?
You'll have to wear many hats - sales, marketing, money management, production, administration, and
managing people. 0 -

Do you have a passion for your business idea? You'll be spending, time e and money to make your. idea
work - having a true affinity for the business makes it a lot easier. |

Do you and your family agree that this is exactly what you want to do and understand how mitch time,
money, effort and personal sacrifice is required? Turning a profit and earning income may take some «
time. Your energy and time may be redirected for months while you get your business up and running.
