Designing Your Entrepreneurship Dreams: Getting A Head Start

The original article was posted on the Harvard Business Review on April 1st, 2020.

The American Dream is not dead—it’s more than alive. The entrepreneurial spirits of this country are what fires the engine of the car of the US economy. According to the Small Business Administration, in 2017, 47.5% of employees in America were employed by small businesses, and 8 million out of the 58.9 million owners are minority, such as women.

It sounds crazy, but in the midst of a global crisis, this just may be the time to jump on those dreams of starting your own business, making the leap into the world of entrepreneurship. Redesigning your future to include a fresh start, your own hours, your own client base.

Harvard Business Review recently came out with both an encouraging and helpful email laying out what steps are necessary to take first in diving headfirst into entrepreneurship.

“If you’re wondering whether you’ve got what it takes, but you’ve made it this far — I encourage you to take the leap. You’ll never know until you try,” say s Jamie Schmidt, the author of  SUPERMAKER: Crafting Business on Your Own Terms.

With more free time on your hands right now than ever, it is worth putting your ideas and goals onto paper to chart your journey as an entrepreneur. And when you’re ready to jump all in, be sure to give your number one fans at Id Bookkeeper a call for all of your bookkeeping needs.
