Date & Time
Americans are facing the reality that downsizing, unemployment and underemployment have become a way of life. For many, self-employment is the only viable option when unemployment benefits terminate, when severance pay dwindles, and when job interviews are few despite circulating hundreds of resumes. Business consultant Constance Hallinan Lagan explains the entrepreneurial philosophy and presents a realistic overview of what self-employment entails. Topics covered include personality analysis, assets assessment, prioritizing, goal-setting, and the initial steps in business formation, including choosing a business start-up idea, business registration, sales tax collection authorization, business checking account, financing, insurance, and hiring employees versus independent contractors.
