Before the business, there’s YOU—and that’s where smart founders start. Before you commit time and money, take a step back and assess your readiness. In this workshop, you’ll evaluate your goals, skills, support network, and resources to understand what it really takes—and where you should focus next. 

TOPICS OF DISCUSSION:

• Take a realistic look at your readiness to start a business
• Identify gaps in your skills, time, and resources
• Understand who can support you and how to leverage your network
• Align your goals with what starting a business actually requires
• Determine where to focus your next steps
