I am an unemployed minority single mom of two school age children. I lost my job a few years ago and have not been able to regain entry outside of temporary work with temp agencies sporatically here and there but not enough to live on. I have always had a strong desire for entrepreneurship and now more so! I have a few ideas for biz start up and a few more to develop new product that can meet a neeed. Don't know where to begin.....i am broke of course. Help! Open for plenty of advice! I do have a strong work ethic and apparently enough optimism. :)

Hi,    In case you haven't already, check out some of our resources for starting a business. You'll find a guide to help you determine if you're ready, details about writing a business plan, and preparing business finances.    One approach that may be useful is talking to a mentor who could offer you specific guidance. SBA has resource partners like SCORE, Women’s Business Centers and Small Business Development Centers located across the country that provide free business counseling to individuals looking to start or expand a small business. Visit SBA Direct to find your local SBA resource partners by entering your zip code. Best of luck!
