Description
If you are looking to start up a business, or are just getting started with being self-employed, then this session is ideal for you! 90% of businesses fail in the first five years, so why not learn how to start your business the right way to give yourself the best chance of success?!
In this webinar will look at the two key elements of starting a business: your SWOT analysis, and personal survival budget. Both of these essential tools will provide you with insight and ideas of your current position before you start your start-up journey.
These insights and ideas will help to provide the clarity and motivation you need to make a positive change and grow a new business.
We'll also cover what you need to consider when thinking about how much income you need to generate from your business, and how to identify any barriers you may facing when trying to grow your new business.
