2. Orientation
An asset assessment might consider the job seeker’s interest in being self-employed compared to other employment opportunities. To determine whether or not to proceed on the path of self-employment, consider the following:
- personal traits
- knowledge and skills
- personal goals
- quality of life considerations
- health and medical requirements
- financial assets
- time commitments
Very often, a job seeker's hobby or interest becomes the business idea. It also proves beneficial when the job seeker has a person close to them that has previously owned or operated a business.
