The Oyster With Lauren Kress

Tonight I'm talking about risk management and how to know when you're ready to start a business. I cover:  - Creating a financial safety net to make sure you're not desperate for work  - The importance of bootstrapping (even with funding!)  - Some of the signs for being ready or, as the case may be, not ready to make the transition into fully immersing yourself in your business  The books I'd recommend reading to help you with this further, are books I've recommended before which are:  - The Personal MBA by Josh Kaufmann: https://personalmba.com/  - Small Business, Big Vision by Adam Toren and Matthew Toren : http://smallbusinessbigvision.com/  Ps. Correction - I started my business part way through 2016 - it was at the beginning of the financial year for 2017 (which is July 2016)
