You’re Never Too Old to be an Entrepreneur Either This slide gives the student a good understanding of the percentages of people who identify themselves as self-employed . 1. 28% of people between the ages of 55-59 identify themselves as self-employed, why? (Discuss the individual assessment of career choice.) 2. 36% of new businesses are started by people between the ages of 60-65, why? (Greater business experience.) 3. 42% of people between the ages of 66-70 identify as self-employed. Ask the students to explain why this number is so high? (Many are nearing or already have retired; the accumulation of a lifetime’s worth of experience can be applied to other businesses.)

Starting a successful new business is never easy and many famous entrepreneurs failed at their first and subsequent attempts. Ask students: How can a business failure actually be a positive experience? (While failure is never a goal it often gives the entrepreneur an invaluable experience - old adage: Learn from your mistakes.) Ask the student: If your first business failed, would you try again? Why or why not? How can businesses survive such poor performances? ( Determination and passion of the owners and founders plays a big role.)

- See Learning Goal 4: Analyze what it takes to start and run a small business. Starting a business is when the real work begins.

Many entrepreneurs create business plans which may in part outline the major business functions.
- See Learning Goal 4: Analyze what it takes to start and run a small business. The business plan is the entrepreneur’s road map to success.

Capital can come from internal sources (personal saving, employees etc.) or from external sources (relatives, banks and angel investors). One source of external funding is via venture capital. Venture capitalist are individuals or companies that invest in new businesses in exchange for a stake in ownership. Many well known businesses such as Google, Zappos and Apple received a first round of funding from venture capitalists.

Fortunately for entrepreneurs some of the best advice comes free. Commercial loan officers can help with the creation of a business plan as well as financial advice. Insurance agents can help new entrepreneurs understand and insure against risk. One interesting and free source of information is SCORE, Service Corps of Retired Executives. To start a discussion in class have students research SCORE (www.score.org) and the programs offered at local SCORE offices.

- See Learning Goal 5: Outline the advantages and disadvantages small businesses have in entering global markets.
- 1) A business plan needs to start with a strong cover letter. The nine key sections are: Executive summary. Company background. Management team. Financial plan. Capital Required. Marketing plan. Location analysis. Manufacturing plan. Appendix.
- 1) Key reasons why many small businesses avoid doing business overseas include: Financing is often difficult to find. Would-be exporters don’t know how to get started and do not understand the cultural differences between markets. The bureaucratic paperwork can threaten to bury a small business. 2) Small businesses have several advantages over large businesses in global markets. These include: Overseas buyers often enjoy dealing with individuals rather than with large corporate bureaucracies. Small companies can usually begin shipping much faster. Small companies can provide a wide variety of suppliers. Small companies can give global customers personal service and undivided attention because each overseas account is a major source of business to them.
- 1) The primary reasons people are will to take the risk of entrepreneurship are: Opportunity to share in the American dream. Profit, the potential to become wealthy and successful. Independence, becoming you own boss. Challenge, the desire to take a chance. 2) Whereas an entrepreneur has to wear many hats and take huge responsibility, a team allows members to combine creative skills with production and marketing skills right from the start. Having a team can also ensure more cooperation and coordination later among functions in the business. 3) Most entrepreneurs are committed to the quest for growth in their business. Mircorpreneurs know they can be content even if their companies never appear on a list of top-ranked businesses. Many micropreneurs are home-based businesses. 4) The Internet has opened the world of entrepreneurship wider than ever. Online sales have grown six times faster than retail sales and in 2007 topped over $165 billion. Today anything that can be offered in a retail environment can be offered online. However, a Web-based business is not an automatic ticket to success. It can often be a shortcut to failure. Web-based businesses must remember that they need to offer unique products or services that customers cannot easily purchase at retail locations.
