Today is Labor Day, Get Inspired!

Today, Labor Day, you may find yourself spending a little quality time with your friends and family. You might consider kicking around the idea of a starting up your own business or trying to convince one of your friends or family members to take that first step into entrepreneurship.

There is no better time than now to get an idea moving towards an exciting or innovative new career as an entrepreneur. Ask yourself, or that person you know who has talked about starting a business, what is holding you back? From there, confront those issues head on—no more excuses—measure whether you are ready to commit full-time to a new business venture.

If you are still not convinced your idea could be a business. Listen to some innovative approaches that other small business entrepreneurs have done to encourage you to move forward:
