THE ENTREPRENEUR'S STARTER KIT - 4 Audio CDs

Disc 1: Being an Entrepreneur: Do You Have What It Takes?
    Featuring Special Guest Courtney Bedard,
    Owner of Empowered Dreams

Have you answered the 11 crucial questions you need to ask yourself before attempting to start a business? This CD explores those thought-provoking queries and offers an inside look at being an entrepreneur: "Confessions of a First-Year Entrepreneur" with Courtney Bedard.
 
Disc 2: Beyond $$$: Reasons to Start a Business
Is your idea for a business a good one? Will it be lucrative? How much are you willing to sacrifice to make the dream a reality? Uncover your true motivations for taking the leap and follow Michelle's tips for creating a Mission, Vision and Values for your start-up.

Disc 3: A Guide to Naming Your Business
Avoid common business naming blunders - too cutesy, too generic, too offensive, too...everything - by listening to Michelle's dos and don'ts for naming your business, including the "12 Commandments of Naming" by Hal Meyer. A rose by any other name may smell as sweet, but a business with the wrong name won't be as successful.

Disc 4: To Partner or Not to Partner
Most of us wouldn't get married after a first date, so why rush into partnering with someone when launching a new business? Michelle shares the pros and cons of partnerships, and as a partner herself, offers her insights into everything you need to know before making this critical decision.

    Featuring Special Guest Lise Milinovich,
    Co-Founder of Evergreen Business Services, LLC

Unless your dream business is one based in finance, chances are your talents lie outside of spreadsheets and profit margin calculations.

Lise Milinovich discusses the pros and cons of hiring a bookkeeper and why that decision could be the key to your business's success or failure.

Whether your procedures, contracts, handbooks, etc. are electronic or on old-fashioned paper, it is VITAL that they are "written" down!
