Approach to next steps
Do you have things that keep you up at night?
There aren't enough hours in the day?
You're not sure what the next step might be?
Let us lighten your load and find solutions to your problems. Let's talk about your needs and devise a plan to get you started in the right direction, whether it's marketing, building a web presence, staffing, or just getting your idea out there. What resources do you need?
Once we determine what resources you need, we'll devise an approach to fulfill them. It might be to develop a product or service awareness, planning an event to present your product or service idea, or creating a flyer, brochure or newsletter about your product or service so your customers learn more about you. You may need to develop survey criteria or training materials for your customers.

Help for your business
Do you need an employee, a contractor, or an intern?
Let's think about hiring needs and whether a contract employee or an intern may be more appropriate in the short-term. This approach may not impact your budget long-term.
As a former manager for internships and working within a career and employment center, how you screen for your employment needs by hiring temporary or contract employees will help your business, without adding the overhead of a full-time employee.
Let's define what you need to lighten your load. Does your employee need to be bonded, insured, or licensed?
