Not everyone is naturally charismatic. That’s ok!  No one will even notice as long as you exude competence, earnestness, and professionalism.

While certain cultures value modesty and humility, during your interview, show the confident side of your business personality! Don’t be afraid to toot your own horn; no one else at your interview will be doing it for you!

Having trouble with interviews?  Think like an innovative game-changer: come prepared with a list of new ideas and unique offerings to show your talent right away.

Any successful new business takes the time to do a SWOT analysis. Identifying the Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities, and Threats for your new venture will help you build a great business-savvy foundation.

Have a yearning to start your own business?  Take some time to interview local small business owners to find out what resources they can share with you. There is no need to reinvent the wheel!

When thinking about starting your own business, take the time to understand the cost of doing business. Discover the cost benefit ratio of every aspect of your new venture before you make costly mistakes!

Before starting your own small business, take a local college-level Accounting course. Not only will it help you understand the financial parts of your new venture, you will be able to double check your bookkeeper’s work effectively.

Always be ready to showcase your best talents by reviewing your resume monthly. As new responsibilities get added to your job, be sure to remove the items of lesser importance.

If you spend any time doing freelance work, be certain to get permission from your clients to use them as references and resume builders.  Saying “worked with a Fortune 500 company” is not as strong as “worked with Time Warner.”

Have a box of resume quality paper at home; sometimes unexpectedly we are presented with a last minute opportunity! Be prepared by keeping your resume up to date!
