Most people spend far too little time preparing their own CVs or just don’t know what should be included and how to put over the necessary information. Selling yourself – which is what compiling a CV is - is never easy. A professional CV writer can make sure nothing is left out – or that too much unnecessary information is included.

This is where this business opportunity comes in. Set up your own CV writing business, compiling and supplying professional quality CVs to job hunters. You can operate this business as a part-time sideline or a full time business. You can run it from home in your spare time and you don’t need very much start-up cash. Choose a professional- sounding business name to trade under rather than using your own name.

As a CV is basically a clear, concise statement of an individual’s personal details, educational history and work experience to date. If you’re well organised, methodical, and have decent writing skills CV writing could be the perfect business opportunity for you... especially as there’s more demand for this service ever.

You don’t need to be a writer to write CVs. Most CVs can be compiled from cut and paste templates. But you must always present a professional image. Customers want to know that you can create a better CV for them than they can do themselves. 

Although you can offer your CV writing service to anyone, it’s a good idea to think about how you could target it more carefully to certain types of customers that could be more profitable.

Targeting a specific industry. This could be ideal if you have some knowledge of, or connections with, a particular industry, e.g. IT, Accountancy, Motor industry, Retail, Marketing, Construction, Finance, etc. Exploit your existing know-how of that business and specialise.

By working within one industry (or a few of industries) you can become known as an expert in compiling CVs for that industry. It will make marketing easier, and help you build a reputation.

Targeting higher-level employees. E.g. Management, Executive, Director, Professional. It’s possible you could charge much higher fees by doing this, possibly hundreds of pounds for a detailed director-level CV.

In the present employment situation, although the economy is improving, jobs are still difficult to find. Employers rely on the CV to decide firstly who to call for interview and secondly who to employ. Although a good interviewee personality counts for a lot, the CV could be the deciding factor.

Six Secrets to Creating a Successful Business

1. Choose something that really fires your interest. Whatever you choose should not just be a way of making money. You need to really love what you’re doing. This passion will carry you through the lows that any business will suffer at some time or other.

2. Find a new twist on an already successful idea. Look for some product, service or system that you enjoy and see if you can adapt or improve on it to create your own product.

3. Whatever you create must be something a lot of people will want to buy.   Even if you product is good you won’t be successful if it only appeals to a small, niche market.

4. Your start-up and running costs must be low. A small new business that has high running costs is pretty well a disaster waiting to happen. Small business, small start-up investment, small running costs. Economise as much as possible without cutting quality.

5. Keep your accounting and economics simple. Nothing difficult. Just a simple formula.

Profit = selling price minus buying price minus costs.

6. Really work on marketing. You need to be smart and professional. Customers won’t search for you if they don’t know you’re there and that your product is the best on the market. Study how other successful entrepreneurs do it. What brought to your attention the suppliers of things you have purchased in the past? How easy was it to find them?

Now think about it. What is your passion? What is missing that you think would make it more enjoyable?

Why borrowing is not a good thing.

Far too many businesses are relying on large scale credit from the Bank. The days when credit was considered to be a short-term back-up have unfortunately gone.

This comes at a cost. What most people don’t realise is that all these amounts of debt and interest are paid by all of us – the consumers. The consequence of this is that everything we buy comes at a premium. Our cost of living would be a lot less if we weren’t financing the Banks by the back door.

Don’t be in a rush to borrow money to fund your project.

By borrowing money the economy is spiralling out of your control. Every business currently in debt to the Banks realises the truth. The deeper your debt the less control you have over your business. When there is a downturn in the economy you are limited in what you can do to survive it. Your debt is still hanging round your neck. You can’t get rid of it and the Banks stop lending so you can’t expand to cover the extra money you need to expand.

Result. Very, very hard times, catastrophic reduction of your available products possibly ending in bankruptcy.

The way forward is not expansion into larger and larger businesses. The stability of our future lies in the entrepreneurs who are prepared to start small and concentrate on building up finances and developing at a realistic speed according to what the market requires. A small business can change direction, alter marketing methods, etc. at speed. Overheads are more manageable. Economies can be without the dead weight of debt hanging overhead.

The person who has this control over the business is in a position to develop as far as he or she wants. The choice to remain as a small one-person or family affair or to develop to any level up to an international company is not controlled by the millstone of debt.

Successful entrepreneurs are willing to take on work that they normally wouldn’t consider to build up the finance they need to get started. They don’t spend time feathering the nests of bankers with great dollops of interest.

Once you are in the clutches of debt it is very difficult to extricate yourself but it can be done.

Redundant? Unemployed? Be your own Boss. Part two

Yesterday it was all about looking on the bright side of being jobless. Today we’ll look at some of the obstacles you’ll face right at the start. Forewarned is forearmed.

The first and largest obstacle is your own state of mind. Which do you feel?

Despair? A sense of inferiority – that you are somehow lacking in something but you don’t’ know what?

Humiliation? Shame? The feeling that you will be looked down on by your family, friends and aquaintances? Uselessness? Anger?

The list of negative feelings is long and the more you dwell on them the longer it gets.

O.K. Take a couple of days to wallow a bit and get it out of your system then take yourself in hand and get started. You are now your own boss. You are your business. Are you going to accept failure?

Unfortunately a lot of people never get past the first step, hide in the comforting shade of Social Security and become too terrified to step out of it. The longer you rely on that prop the more difficult it is to step out of it and the more terrifying the outside world appears. The obstacles seem bigger the longer you look at them and you become smaller and more insignificant in your own eyes. So the sooner you get a grip and take the first step to independence the better.

More obstacles to look out for tomorrow. But don’t worry – the solutions are on the way.
