Simple Steps to Starting Your Business

*This will be a live online workshop via Zoom* 

DREAM BIG! Do you dream about starting a business? You're not alone - millions of Americans share that dream. And yet, not everyone has the courage to get started. But if you're ready to branch out on your own, this workshop is for you.

Proper planning is key. One myth is that the majority of small businesses fail. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, after two years in business, the majority of startups succeed; after five years, about half fail and half succeed. Proper planning and hard work is the only way to guard against failure. You are on the right track with Simple Steps for Starting Your Business.
