Poor Economy Sparks Record Interest In
Entrepreneurship
By Beth Fitzgerald
Nancy Jordan, of Plainfield, went to a workshop in New Brunswick Wednesday night seeking advice on
how to launch a small business that she hopes will help replenish her retirement savings.
In the wake of the market slump, “everyone needs a plan B,” she said.
Jordan was among more than 20 who attended an introductory session of the Entrepreneurial
Training Initiative, a course taught by Union-based nonprofit UCEDC. Those who enroll in ETI will
learn to write a business plan, be taught the basics of running a small business and get advice on how to
line up financing.
The turnout was about twice the number who attended ETI workshops in good times, but the economic
slump sparked a surge in interest in new business startups, said Alexander Marin, of UCEDC, who led the
workshop.
The loss of a job motivates many would-be entrepreneurs, Marin said. “They tell us, ‘I lost my job, and I’ve
always had a business idea on the back burner, and now is the time to go forward.’” Others are starting
businesses to supplement the lost earnings of an unemployed spouse, “and a lot of small businesses are
just faltering — there are small businesses right now where the water is up to their ears, and it’s either sink
or swim.”
Kim Outlaw, a tax preparer who owns Morrison Agency, in Elizabeth, said he’s considering taking the
course to gain some marketing skills. Meanwhile, Carlton Kornegay, of New Brunswick, an architectural
draftsman who has helped investors acquire commercial real estate, said he wants to own his own
apartment building for a change.
“I’m trying to get any information that will help,” he said. “The biggest trouble is financial — finding the
money to support what you want to do.”

JMC Job Search Tips (Simple Things pt 107…)
Short-n-Sweet…
ESPN, CNN, Bloomberg, etc… have all contributed to our attention spans becoming shorter and
shorter. There’s not much any of us can do about that fact so as the old saying goes, “If you can’t
beat ’em, join ’em.” It’s very necessary therefore to keep your message and your stories succinct i.e.
direct and to the point. The temptation when talking about ourselves is often to believe that the more
information we can cram into our turn to speak the better. Perhaps the best rule of thumb is to put
yourself on the receiving end of the info. Even better – record yourself and objectively ask when
listening to the playback if you really maintained your own interest. As another old saw goes, “there
are truly times when less is more”. Keep refining your message and your stories to communicate as
much with as few words as possible and you’ll likely find yourself memorable for that trait – and that’s
a much sought after trait in this time-starved world…
Just Thinking…
He who has health has hope; and he who has hope, has everything.
