| Oh, I got such good news today folks! My unemployment is officially over and the state of New Jersey is backing my business venture by inducting me into their SEA (Startups Assistance and Entreprenuerial Training Program) Program. They provide classes and courses in everything from financial to business plan writing book keeping, human resources and everything to start and keep a business going. The program is six weeks and includes 60 hours of college program courses run by business professionals and educators. To qualify I had to fill out a ten page application and then be screened. I ended up printing out a majority of my business plan and submitting that along with my application. Once I got to my orientation at Camden County College I had to fill out another form which was like a test of what I knew about my business idea, planning, etc. I'm glad I really knew so much about the industry to fill everything out so completely.So, I got my letter today and this is my first full day of self employment... I've also picked an awesome location and will keep you posted as things progress. Laurie |
