The U.S. entrepreneurial landscape exhibits some very strong positive characteristics:
- The culture of the United States is one of seeking opportunities and taking risks.
- The age group most active in entrepreneurial activity in the United States includes people between 5 and 4 years of age with a broad variety of ethnic backgrounds. The U.S. diversity contributes positively and significantly to continuing and expanding the country’s entrepreneurial tradition. ( 2003 Global Entrepreneurial Monitor Report)
- One out of every nine people (about 11% of the U.S. population) is involved in entrepreneurship - either currently involved in the start-up of such an enterprise or has been within the preceding 47 months. ( 2003 Global Entrepreneurial Monitor Report)
The U.S. Small Business Administration looks at “small business as the engine of economic growth.” Consider these recent statistics.
- There are approximately 5 million small businesses in the country. More than 10.5 million Americans are self-employed.
- Small businesses currently employ more than half of the country’s workforce and account for more than half of the private sector economic output.
- Small businesses provide approximately 75 percent of the new jobs added to the economy.
Nevertheless, small businesses are not guaranteed to survive. We will help you do the “homework” that is essential to increase the odds that your business will survive — and thrive!
We will walk you through many questions and many ways to assess whether or not entrepreneurship is right for you. You will be encouraged to weigh your motives, your talents, and your skills.
