It is so refreshing to be able to talk with other new entrepreneurs about concerns and triumphs in business because there are few other people who can understand. It is also great that we can have an interchange of ideas. -Florence Amundson, Mystic Dreams, Kamloops BC-
Are you considering self-employment?
Pre-Startup Transitioners are those women who are just starting to consider the transition to self-employment. They have not yet started their business, but have a firm intention to do so.

- The Taking the Leap resource guide, distributed in hard copy and electronic form throughout the province.
- The Creating Your Business learning guide (available for sale, complete with 6 complimentary coaching sessions).
