“Everything is always impossible before it works. That is what entrepreneurs are all about – doing what people have told them is impossible.” - R. Hunt Greene

Being your own boss will be one of the most rewarding and challenging experiences of your life.

The skills and knowledge that you learned in the NFTE program will help you to become an independent, successful entrepreneur. As you envision your future, remember that life should be enjoyed.

Running your business will be hard work; however, it should also be fun, exciting and fulfilling. Your entrepreneurial success depends on your happiness.

The NFTE BizCenter is a one-stop resource center for information on starting, growing, managing, and funding your business. You’ll expand the knowledge base that you obtained while participating in the NFTE program and find tools to help your business reach the next level.

The first step in running a successful business is to have a clear and comprehensive business plan.
You should expand upon the plan you started in your NFTE program by including financial projections, detailed market research and marketing plan, and goals for the next 3-5 years. (www.beehive.org - Build your business plan online for free)

Even if you have already started running your business it is vital that you have a well-defined plan for reaching your business goals. You should re-visit the plan often and refine and reshape your business strategy as you gain more experience.
