If you are considering starting your first small business, and you have questions like these and more, then this course is for you!

Before you decide on a business idea or start writing a business plan, and before you take a course on how to start your business, it’s important to assess how ready you are to be your own boss.

The Business Ownership Readiness Scorecard will be your guide to understanding where you are now, and the specific areas you need to learn more about and the help you need to be a successful business owner.

It all starts with your personal why. Your vision for your future, and understanding what motivates you. Why do you want to start your own business? This course will help you define your reasons for wanting to start a small business.

To become your own boss, you have to be ready, willing and able to overcome the obstacles and challenges that can keep you from realizing your dreams. You have to be mentally and emotionally ready, you must be willing to put in the time and effort, and you must able to afford the investment of time, money and energy.

By the end of this course you will have a much better understanding of what it will take to be a business owner. You will also be able to identify what you may need to work on before you launch your business, and the team of people you will need to help you along the way.

Henry is a successful - serial - entrepreneur. He understands what is required to launch a business and get it on a path of sustainability. I know, because he helped me start my own business. And just three months in, I've got repeat clients - many of whom have already increased the level of our contracts. I credit Henry for helping me see what I needed to accomplish to make this happen and for giving me the confidence I needed to take those first steps - to take the right risks the right way in order to be successful. Henry also demonstrated customer service to me as his coaching client, which served a broader purpose: he gave me an example to follow. He helped me see how important it is to prioritize the experience of the customer, and that has already paid significant dividends. If you are looking for a helpful, organized way of thinking about whether you are ready to start your own business, I highly recommend this course. But even more importantly, I recommend Henry himself. Make the investment. Follow his advice. It will be worth it.
