Calling Tools

Consider Starting your own Business or Service

Ask these questions:

  • Where is there a gap in services in my community?

  • Where is there work that others have rejected, or not yet recognized as valuable? 

  • What kind of services do I have the capacity and interest in fulfilling?

  • Who is the ideal audience to benefit from these services? 

  • Gather the data needed to explore this new service. Test these ideas with a small audience of supportive friends and colleagues. Listen closely to their input and suggestions. 

  • Identify small next steps and timeline to implement this service.
