Start by Analyzing Your Interests and Skills Feel free to copy this into wordpad or MS Word, and spend an afternoon figuring out what business you could start that you are already qualified to run. The questions below are intended to help you think through what you bring to the game of small business as well as what skills and knowledge you can match with some of the many, many business opportunities in our society. Be prepared to spend a couple of hours at this, perhaps more. But, please don’t make a big project out of this exercise -- this is something you can complete in an evening or over a weekend at most. Ask yourself these questions: About My Career: 1) Is my background in sales? Administration? Production? Support services? 2) What on-the-job things am I best at? 3) What am I worst at? 4) What specific jobs have I held in the past? What was I responsible for? What skills and knowledge did I use to meet these responsibilities?
The basics of starting and succeeding with a business of your own during our pandemic based on the latest research.
