Course recommendation

[jessispop]

I have been considering opening my own business for a while, but before giving up my 9-5, I decided to take the NxLevel for Entrepeneurs course.

This course is offered through my local community colleges Small Business development center the cost was $475 and worth every cent. The course covers everything from marketing, insurance, demographics, taxes all the way to writing a tight business plan to secure financing if needed, it has really helped me plan my roadmap to success. You also get counseling from guest speakers and the development center after the end of the course, and the networking opportunities seem endless.

All things being equal the only thing that seperates you from your competitors , is not what is the best tire dressing to use, but how well you network and how well you deliver what you promise.

People will assume you are a qualified professional until you prove them wrong, then they will tell two people , and they will tell two more people etc.

I highly recommend taking this course if it is offered in your area, consider it an investment in your future whether you have taken the plunge and are currently running an established business or you are like me and in the planning stages.

Also I did a little researching and found that in the Northern VA area a 26 hour entrepreneurship course has been created. Here is the link :
