I have been working on many angles of my business plan. It sure is a lot to think about and consider. From business cards, which icon to put in the corner of it, what colors, a motto, researching the market pricing for different services that I offer, class ideas, ordering tools and the list goes on. I will be going to a Merit Orientation class this next week in Independence, OR to help me solidify my small business. I am really excited about this journey. It should prove to be enlightening and of course challenging but I LOVE A CHALLENGE. Bring it on! If you are wanting to start a small business and just don't know where to start this orientation is free and offered in many locations in my area. Check it out at http://www.chemeketa.edu/busprofession/ccbi/sbdc/merit.html. I have known about this for years and am thankful for the resource.
One of the things that I have been researching is homeschool support/consulting. There are a few out there and different ways that they provide their services. I am curious to know, if you are a homeschooling parent, what areas you feel you need help in. Maybe you just can't seem to get on top of something, feeling guilty for not getting to them (subjects, tasks or children), wanting to delve into certain things but don't feel you have the energy, time, ideas or stamina to do it, meals, cleaning, chores, children's personalities or uniqueness,(maybe they hate certain subjects so sneaking subjects in without them recognizing, or coming at it from a different angle) and the list goes on. I know for me, grading the papers , getting to the spelling tests, and the science lessons just was an overwhelming task. Money was always tight for those homeschooling years, being on one income. But one of the best things that I did one year (wish I could have done it more) was hired someone to come in and take over those tasks I just mentioned 2 times a week. She was WONDERFUL and worth every penny. It did not give me more time in my day (because I was not getting to them anyway) but they got accomplished and the guilt was lifted (in that area). She was my angel. Maybe you need an angel? So could you do me a favor and leave me a comment as to what it would be that you would want help with? This will help me to tailor make the business to fit you. I appreciate it. Email me if I can help you. It would be an honor. Oh, and please vote on the poll. The question is: which of the services would you be interested in (you may pick more than one). Thanks.
