I am a former drug dealer gone legit. Now while i have a job and im doin ok for myself..wheres the real money at. I want to own my own business but i am intelligent and can do anything! The question is what do i do! Ideas?
Ok so you want to start your own business. While hustling did you save any of that money you was bringing in? If not, there are grants and loans given by the SBA. However you will need a solid business plan and they will be looking at your credentials as well as anyone who would be helping you run your company. They would like for you to have your own start-up capital as well, to the tune of 25% of what you are requesting (on a loan). Since you are an ex-drug dealer, before taking that huge step, build up your resume a little. Then get good credible people on your team.
Open up a bodega, barber shop, pool hall. YOU need to think about what you want to do. Take a walk,see what's out there you can get ideas by doing that.
There are numerous grants for small business owners. Market your yourself by going to networking parties, a lot of bars in Harlem have them like Moca Bar, etc. Know what you want ot do first, what type of business, get a Busines plan going, surf the web. You should take some courses in Small Business Mgmt. Socialize woth people they are greatest resource for info, if you want to open a barber shop, talk to a barber in your area and so forth. Everyone has the power to control their Destiny. Make it happen. I'll assint in anyway I can.
Can i get a grant with my record.Plus i really dont know exactly what i want to do. I know i dont want a barbershop or store,I want a company. Im reading a entreperneur book right now and im getting a few ideas,plus i got a whole lot of things going on right now on the internet.
I have to agree with Thai. There are lot of opportunities out there but you have to be in the right place at the right time. Networking is everything. Remember always have a positive attitude when networking with people and be enthusatic. If you believe in your dreams other people will to. The internet is a great resource for you. Good Luck
