Based on experience in early 2008 in explaining the self-employment option to staff of a multinational who were being let go, many after 20+ year’s service, Brian O’Kane has developed a Could You Be Your Boss? half-day workshop, supporting and extending the book.
The workshop covers (briefly):
- Entrepreneurship: Preparing yourself
- Ideas: Finding & evaluating
- Types of business
- Risk & reward
- Strategy & Vision
- Market research: Why & how
- Marketing: Positioning & branding
- Sales
- Business planning
- Funding & assistance.
Each participant will receive a copy of the Could You be Your Own Boss? book.
Here’s a preview of the workshop slides:
