Your next boss could be you! Prepare now to start your own company

There is a nice article on the website called “Business Owners Idea Cafe” written by Idea Cafe CEO Francie Ward, entitled “Get Ready! Your next boss could be you:  Turning the threat of downsizing into victory. Prepare now to create your own company.”

In this article, Ms. Ward discussed 7 steps you can take while you still have a job to prepare to start your own company now.  You’ll have to check out the article for the details, but the steps include:

1. Cinch in your spending appetite
2. Check into home refinancing
3. Maximize your credit card portfolio (which does not mean max out your credit cards!)
4. Review and correct your credit history
5. Complete your financing homework
6. Test drive the entrepreneurial life
7. Talk to entrepreneurs themselves

If you see the writing on the wall at your company, and are thinking of spreading your wings into the business world as a result, this is a quick, but worthwhile read.
