Happy Wednesday!

It’s the final countdown to the end of the year! Are you ready for 2015? This is the time of year to evaluate your goals and plan for the New Year. Around this time two years ago, I was seriously considering leaving the traditional workforce and starting out on my own.

Venturing out into the great unknown of consulting or starting a business can be overwhelming. It can also be very expensive. The reality is that many (if not most) businesses fail in the first five years.

As you think through your business or consider going out on your own, think hard about how you can keep your expenses low and your effectiveness optimal. In this week’s video, I share how I kept my overhead low and positioned for growth in the early stages of starting up.

By keeping your overhead low, asking the right questions and being resourceful, you can position your startup for early success and achieve a solid foundation for growth.
