 Hi Everyone, As a female, I have always wanted to become an entrepreneur. However, I always feel that I need more time and skill to step into the demanding role. But, my perspective changed recently when I met a female franchise leader. She had bought a franchise for sale in Australia to become an entrepreneur. I loved her idea and felt that I should do something similar because of the low risk. I started looking at females in the industry and found so many inspiring female leaders who have paved the way for women in challenging roles.

 If you’re working full-time but are considering starting a business, here are four top tips to help you make the transition. Step one: Do your research Before you take a leap of faith, learn as much as you can about your selected industry. (It’s surprising how often we meet clients who are planning to start businesses in industries in which they have no previous experience.) Talk to business owners currently in the industry or, if you can, look to do some part-time or casual work on the weekend in a similar business. This way you can get an understanding of the nuts and bolts of your chosen industry. Read More: https://www.smallbusiness.wa.gov.au/blog/turn-your-idea-business
