Post-conference participants were not only introduced to the Leap project components, but also explored 10 strategies to maximize self-employment success. Each strategy, presented below, is explored in-depth within the Look Before You Leap: Self-Employment Survival Strategies book.
- Understand self-employment
- Know what it takes
- Put supports in place
- Do your homework
- Be strategic
- Brand your business
- Do the math
- Manage the details
- Get the help you need
- Monitor progress
A draft copy of both the book and a newly developed Entrepreneurial Characteristics Checklist were also available to post-conference participants.
In addition, the post-conference session served as the face-to-face component for the pilot course; online discussions begin March 16th. We’re happy to have five students joining us in the mixed-mode session. We’re still welcoming registrations for the fully online pilot expected to begin before April, email studentadvisor@lifestrategies.ca for details.
