Starting a Business Takes Preparation

By Carroll Welte

Entrepreneurs say that starting a business can be exciting and daunting at the same time. Many admit having had second thoughts about their success in the early years.

Entrepreneurs will tell you the difference between success and failure amounts to how prepared one is from the very start.  Family demands, product feasibility, financial resources, advisors, location, etc. are important considerations. These and a host of other considerations have to be thought through and planned out.

UNL Extension will present its NUbizSTART: Are You Ready? program Thursday, December 5^th in Norfolk at the Lifelong Learning Center.  Extension specialists from Lincoln, as well as educators based throughout Nebraska will make presentations from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in the Northeast Research and Extension Center classroom just inside the west door. Participants will come out of the program with a better understanding of the strengths and talents they have for starting a new business.
