Anyone Can Be An Entrepreneur

So you have that entrepreneurial spirit and want to start your own business.  However, you’re afraid of the risk, startup cost, and long hours to make the business successful.  What if you could start your own business with little risk and for $500 or less?  Would you consider it then?  Shirley Gutkowski, Host of Cross Link Radio, speaks with Jim Beach about entrepreneurship and starting a business with little capital and risk.   

Jim Beach is an author, business professional, professor, speaker, husband and father of 3.   Jim Beach’s first book, School for Startups, was published by McGraw-Hill in June 2011 and reached as high as number 9 on Amazon's business section.  Jim has started businesses and has taught entrepreneurship around the world and he recently won the Small Business Administration Media Advocate Award for his terrestrial radio show.

Jim received his Masters of Business Administration degree from the University of Hawaii and Japan-America Institute of Management Science of Tokyo, Japan.  He worked for the Japanese government trade promotion office (JETRO) where he helped American companies export to Japan and for The Coca-Cola Company, both in Japan and in the United States.

In 2009, Jim founded the School for Startups, www.SchoolforStartups.com/, a web resource devoted to teaching his philosophy of low risk entrepreneurship. He believes that anyone can be an entrepreneur when they forget about risk, creativity, and passion.
