Are you working and wish you could start something along the
time? Do you want to explore some business opportunities while
you are still in paid employment? Are you ready to try out your
business skills? Then, now is the time to explore. You can run
your business alongside while you keep your current
employment. I did the same thing when I started a company with
2 other people and I don’t see any reason why you can not do the
same. It just takes a decision and a personal commitment from
you to learn and apply the necessary skills.
Starting and running a small business is not just about working
for yourself, it’s also about having the necessary management
skills, industry expertise, technical skills, finance and of course a
long-term vision to grow and succeed. With the economy still on
track and the number of entrepreneurs on the rise, you won’t be
alone if you decide to take the plunge this year.
