[PW] Re: ?finding a small business consultant

[Paul Sinasohn]

This article is a bit high-tech oriented, but is good:

http://www.paulgraham.com/start.html

This site has some info, but I make no guarantees:

http://www.howtostartup.com/

These guys are probably the best resource on the web for this subject:

http://www.startupnation.com/index.asp

My advice: Read "What Color is Your Parachute?" by Richard Bolles. And
remember "Do what you love, the money will follow"  (it is sort of
working that way for my wife and her jewelry business)

Subject: [PW] ?finding a small business consultant

Our patron wants to start a business in her basement - but she doesn't
know what type of business (all she would tell us that she was turned
down for a daycare license, but refused to give details).  She has
talked to the local SCORE reps, but felt they couldn't give her enough
help.  So she wants a consultant who specializes in home based business
startups (I think, she is not real clear)  We warned her that this could
be expensive.

 

Any ideas on how to find such a critter?
