Workshop: I'm the Boss Now -- Starting Your Own Business June 20, 2008

3 CPE Credits

After years of working for other organizations, the idea of being your own boss may be captivating your thoughts. Now's your chance to find out what it takes to flex your entrepreneurial muscles and step out on into your own business.

Running a business, or consulting to others, offers its own rewards and challenges. You may fantasize about schedule flexibility and working in the next room rather than commuting, but what are the downsides to those dreams, and how can you have the dream without the nightmares? With Christine you'll identify the advantages and disadvantages of going external vs. 'staying inside,' clarify the steps to establishing, and marketing, your own a business, and learn what goes into setting fees that you and your clients can live with.

If you've ever found yourself thinking, "Someday I'm going to go out on my own," you'll want to attend this workshop. You'll leave with ideas, tools and recommendations for online and print resources, too.
