Will You Lose Your Job in the Recession of 2008?
Why More People Will Start Their Own Businesses This Year
Consumer confidence is plummeting as is the housing market. Companies from Citigroup to Sprint to Yahoo are announcing big layoffs. There were more than 15,000 mass layoffs nationwide in 2007; this year may be worse. It isn’t pretty in the business world and anyone who works for a big company knows they have zero job security.
While people always fantasize about starting and opening their own businesses, in times of turmoil those thoughts multiply. But should your audience be among those entrepreneurs to take the plunge?
The man to ask is internationally-renowned consultant Robert Lee Goodman, who has consulted with more than 2,000 entrepreneurs in more than 36 countries and has launched nearly four dozen of his own companies.
Invite him on-air to:
- Take calls from audience members who want to start their own businesses. Are their ideas viable?
- Talk about the questions individuals should ask themselves before they pull the trigger.
- Reveal what most would-be entrepreneurs get wrong about developing a business plan, finding backers and other important issues.
- Address why so many baby boomers are finally ready to be their own boss.
- Share some of the reasons why not everyone is cut out to be an entrepreneur.
