MAINTAINING MAJORITY SHARE
A much better fit than my current job; this would allow me to branch out to people with the same interests or from an educational standpoint
Target clientele fill particular niches
A factor that means even as my business grows it is still my business; I can guide its direction and make the tough calls when it comes to vision, strategy, process, and finance
Starting out it will be me completely involved in daily operations; eventually would like to delegate to leave time for more travel, gathering new ideas, and outreach of sales
I wish to work at this until I am skilled and have created my own definitive product. My preferences will be evident through the unique quality and vision in my work and my company as a whole.
Completely on me at first; in time gathering investors and becoming stable is a necessity so one bad season can't destroy the whole business
A strong, nationwide clientele
The freedom to travel, explore new ideas and incorporate them into my work
A strong retirement fund
Being skilled enough to teach a craft to future generations
The goal is to built a strong enough business to leave my current job and work for myself, creating a successful lifestyle (with retirement plans!)
The scary part. Sink or swim. Very little job security when you work for yourself.
