BUSINESS START-UP: IS IT FOR YOU?

Are you one of the many feeling driven to start your own business? If so, you are part of a growing movement among disillusioned corporate workers. Frustrated with no annual raises - or raises that equal less than the cost of living - people are tired of being squeezed out of their time as they work double shifts and longer. They are looking for solutions that give them more control of their work lives with a promise of higher returns on this time.

An article in the June 2006 issue of Business 2.0 Magazine, "How to Build a Bulletproof Startup," caught my eye. I was impressed by the clean and straightforward map of how to build a small business. I wish I'd had such a model when I started my career coaching business six years ago! If you've been bitten by the entrepreneurship bug, take a look. This article will help you decide if you have what it takes to start your own business.
