"First comes thought; then organization of that thought, into ideas and plans; then transformation of those plans into reality. The beginning, as you will observe, is in your imagination." - Napoleon Hill
Every new business starts with that thought, the dream, the imagination. Perhaps it is the quest for self dependence that drives us to become entrepreneurs. Perhaps it is the dream of filling a void in the marketplace with your special service or invention. Perhaps it is just your inner voice that keeps suggesting various business ideas.
And after the business idea is solid in your mind what do you do with it? Our business development clients tend to ask: Where do I begin? How do I find the courage to dive in? Who do I contact?
Maine is a wonderfully helpful state with many resources. There are organization such as Coastal Enterprises, Inc. ( CEI ) and the Small Business Association ( SBA ) that offer group programs and one-on-one business counseling. Also there are several regional based economic development groups with connections and insight into their service area. Explore these resources, visit their websites and reach out for assistance. You will be amazed by the options available.
