Starting a Business

REALIZE TODAY, that starting a business means you are NOW on the clock.

You must set goals and timelines for the development of your business.

There are thousands of magazines, books, videos, websites, conferences, conventions and business assistance organizations that will cause you to lose focus and become overwhelmed with information.

Are you ready to focus on the exact step-by-step process necessary to start your own business?

If so, start to think about what your time is worth. If your time is worth $10, $30, $50 or $100 per hour, then the U.S. Center for Entrepreneurship can save you thousands of dollars in business research and planning time by providing the precise foundation that you need for starting any business.

In today’s digital world, one could spend days, months and years researching and planning a new venture without ever getting off the ground. Please don’t let that happen to you.

Starting a business requires more time than one could ever spend in a job. Sorry, it’s true.

However, the payoff is that most entrepreneurs never feel like they are working. Entrepreneurs have an internal spirit that turns long hours into playtime.

As you consider starting, buying or running your own company, you MUST REALIZE that entrepreneurs come in ALL SHAPES AND SIZES. There is no test for success, only determination and preparation.

While some would like you to believe that Michael Dell, Richard Branson and Bill Gates all represent the typical entrepreneur, that’s just not true—they are the chosen few who have reached celebrity status.

The most important aspect of entrepreneurship for you to consider today is that millions and millions of individuals throughout the world are just like you!

They have dreamed of business ownership and have taken the necessary steps to plan and build their business. Are you ready to do the same?

Your goal as a new business owner is to gain targeted knowledge that you can apply TODAY for starting your business in the most effective and efficient manner at the lowest possible cost.

USCFE shares that goal for you.

In fact, our world-class industry experts have agreed to provide affordable classes to you while transferring years of wisdom and real-world knowledge through accelerated lessons.

USCFE’s simple, informative, step-by-step classes provide Audio Lessons, Action Guides and a Q&A website that enables you to ask a question to an instructor who will post an answer.

Are you ready to prepare for your success?

The U.S. Center for Entrepreneurship believes in simple classes accessible to anyone in the world.

Many educational institutions provide video that can be flashy, however, often times the video will stall and become choppy to view via the Internet.

Furthermore, many learning management systems in other fields require students to input personal, confidential and proprietary notes into their organization’s Internet based learning systems.

Clearly, if you are starting a new company, you want to keep YOUR information CONFIDENTIAL and that’s why USCFE provides easy, downloadable step-by-step action items called Action Guides.

Action Guides are “self-paced” step-by-step guides that correspond directly to instructor Audio Lessons.

Students listen and learn while “applying” their own notes to their business on their own computer.

Anyone in the world can listen to the clear audio and download the Action Guides for each class.

Additionally, students can review the Question and Answer reference website for each class that lists student questions with instructor answers to provide a comprehensive, yet simple learning system.

Your challenge as a new business owner is to FOCUS your energies on targeted, step-by-step action items that produce clear, efficient results for each stage of your business.

Unfortunately, the Small Business Administration has found that only two-thirds of new small businesses survive at least two years. That survival rate falls to 44 percent at four years and to 31 percent at seven.

Why are the statistics so low?

Plain and simple, entrepreneurs often fly by the seat of their pants without fully preparing for success.

Many new business owners start a company without even fully researching their exact target market and that is CRITICAL to your success!

Some new business owners fail to evaluate what’s involved in starting a business.

Others don’t plan for financial shortcomings and many just don’t take action when or where needed.

Although dwindling cash is often considered the main reason that a business fails, it’s really the business owner who has failed to take the necessary steps to properly plan all facets of their business.

Each of these challenges can be overcome with proper planning.

Evaluate who you are and why you want to go into business. Then, most importantly, begin researching your target market to properly evaluate the “real” business opportunity.

Numbers don’t lie.

If your target market research suggests minimal opportunities for success, then be glad that your research and planning prevented you from losing thousands of dollars in a failed business attempt.

Give yourself permission right now to explore and take the time to truly plan your business.

If you’re currently employed, stay in your job while you gain clarity in your business model.

If you are out of work and seeking business ownership, please find basic employment that can help pay your bills while you continue to research your new business ownership options.
