nemployment is approaching levels we haven’t seen since the “Great Depression.” CNN reports 9.7% of the population is without work and many experts expect this number to climb to over 10% soon. Right now, many fear they’ll lose the ability to provide their families with the life to which they’ve grown accustom. While some see this as a type of financial “Doomsday,” others see opportunity. Finally, face to face with the reality - having a job is not the same as having security, they seek to take control of their financial future. These visionaries are looking to take their time and talent and create another source of income. They are considering starting a business. However, they don’t know where to start. What’s more, they’ve heard the Small Business Association’s statistics: “half of all businesses fail within five years.” Understandably, this causes concern but they are determined to try.
