A mark of a good leader is their creativity, curiosity, and willingness to try new things. These skills help individuals build companies from the ground up, with the hope to make a mark on the world and become entrepreneurs. However, while entrepreneurship can lead to many exciting opportunities, it’s best done with a plan in mind.
Solve a Problem and Create a Legitimate Strategy
Necessity is the mother of invention, which means that businesses begin when a common issue needs attention. A business will only thrive if the elements bringing it to life can help prevent or solve a common issue. Once a plan to solve the problem is formed; it’s easy to find guidance, resources, financing, mentorship and networking at Southern Utah University’s Small Business Development Center.
