No doubt, you have heard people talk about the advantage of being “self-employed” – “Ah, to set your own hours, and work when you want to!” DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT?

Self-Employment is far from that description. One business owner retorted, “Yes, I can work any 24 hours in a day that I want!” Ha! Being a business owner is HARD WORK, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise! HOWEVER, if you choose a line of business with which you have a passion, are very organized, have a clear understanding of all aspects of business ownership, have at least 1-3 years’ worth of salary available, and have done all your homework on the business of interest, you are in a better position than most new business owners.

Compass Career Management Solutions has worked with many companies, who have had released employees interested in this career option. Therefore, we have provided a “Self-Employment Workshop” many times. This workshop last 6-8 hours long, however, throughout this day’s workshop, attendees are exposed to almost all aspects of being a business owner. The accompanying manual acts as a great reference later.

Through this workshop there will be several speakers, who represent the many experts an owner could tap into. Therefore, these experts will not only share critical info a business owner needs to know, but also contact data should the attendee want to connect with that expert later.

By the end of the Self-Employment Workshop, attendees will hear from accountants/CPAs, business lawyers, marketing experts, insurance representatives, business strategists, etc. In the past the majority may not decide to become business owners, but others may be ready to take the plunge!

This Self-Employment Workshop can either be provided by an employer, who is releasing several employees interested in this career option, or on occasion Compass Career Management will provide this as a “public workshop”. If interested in learning more, call 704-849-2500.
