As I was completing the assignment about the 20 steps to self-employment it reminded me of my internship with a small start-up company two summers ago. The day I started, the company still needed their phones set up so that was my first task. As the summer went on I began to realize the steps the business was taken to get off the ground. These steps I noticed related to the steps in the slide-show about the self-employment.
Before I had arrived, the business plan had been proposed and was already in full swing. The four employees of the company were very motivated and excited about their ideas. As I spent more time with the company I was able to see the employees decide on health insurance, start a functioning website, choosing a bank to work with, making business cards, and using other resources to help advance the company.

You were very lucky to enter a business with so much dynamic creative energy. I thought the article was scary because it demonstrated how much money is required, from health care to purchasing equipment and more.
ReplyDeleteEvery link had more outlay required. Seems very important that in the midst of creating a business, you keep your credit score as high and solvent as possible. It's almost contradictory because when you are unemployed by a corporation, you have very little available cash.
