Become An Entrepreneur: Helpful Websites

Hello Everyone!

Post two holiday related posts, I thought I'd get back on track with the mission of the dekoposh blog and start a series about websites that can help you do something BIG." BIG" being something that empowers others and demonstrates a willingness to change the world for the better in some way.

For this first post, I'm featuring entrepreneurism and how to become an entrepreneur as this is something I know about (since I'm an entrepreneur myself). I've covered everything from fun games to help build your entrepreneurial skills to information about the legalities of setting up a business.

Of course, even with all the right resources, starting a business requires plenty of time and energy, but the payoff is worth it. There is nothing more satisfying than working for yourself.

Enjoy:

Business Issues (http://www.business.gov/)- A site hosted by the goverment that explains the legal stuff that starting a business requires.

Homeschool Entrepreneur Newsletter (http://homeschool-entrepreneur.com/)- This site offers a free online newsletter that's great for all entrepreneurs, not just homeschooled ones! I love this newsletter and find it very useful. Many of the websites in here were recommended in issues of this newsletter.

Investopedia (http://simulator.investopedia.com/Authorization/login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fhome.aspx)- This simulator based on the actual stock market can help you understand how stocks work.

Johnny Money (http://game.johnnymoney.com/)- This in-depth game will teach you how businesses are run.

Teen Business Resource (http://www.sba.gov/teens/index.html)- This site is unique in the sense that it covers starting up a business, but from a teen's point of view.

Teen Business Stories (http://www.youngbiz.com/)- Interesting stories of teen entrepreneurs who've had success. Navigate the story section using the side bar. This website also has some useful business resources, like the one above.

Solo-E (http://www.solo-e.com/)- This site features a ton of articles written by small business experts that are geared to the home-based service business.

Best Wishes,
