Hello small biz folk, I am a former one of you and am looking to be in the mix again in the relatively near future. I am writing in case someone has a helpful suggestion for, basically…
how to find and get feedback from others that see what I don’t see or know what I don’t know, about myself and the business world/economy.
Now, I am not looking to hire a consultant through reddit- I just am seeking an answer, where to go to find to help that can zero in on my best business options given my skills, knowledge, age, etc. Is this business coaching? If not what is it called? My previous business was the best working experience that I have ever had by far, even if it wasn’t solvent. I want to try again and I have attempted to work with SCORE, twice but there is something off about that program for me. Automatedly, their system wants specifics that I approached them to help me flush out in the first place. I am also considering a college entrepreneurship program, but I sense that it is bs, at least at this jc.

The goal is understanding what the most viable things I can produce and do are in a business sense, not getting caught up in inconsistent, hand to mouth service income or in what is too labor-intensive or not profitable enough. This has been surprisingly difficult to do.

    Very likely not. It’s potentially a good opportunity, but chances are higher that you connect with a grifter and waste money.

      Thanks, I figured as much. It’s the classic, marketing about marketing conundrum. I will continue to explore posts on this subreddit to try to educate myself

    Welcome back to the world of entrepreneurs! I feel you, working for your own business is so much more rewarding than for someone else’s, right?

    Today, there are a lot of great, free resources on the Internet on how to start a business, evaluate it, and also already validated business ideas flying around for you to grab and try out.

    If you’re searching for something direct and specific to you. I think the best way is to search for a mentor/coach who already did what you want to do and pay them for their time.

    What kind of business are you thinking of starting?
