When conducting research about your new business for your business plan, don’t just stick to the usual suspects: the library, the internet, and/or a similar organization. Go everywhere!

When researching about my new business, I found myself in other states talking to Executives Directors of nonprofit organizations. I interviewed people who started nonprofit businesses to see what they thought they did right and what they would do to improve on the process. I visited group meetings of nonprofit professionals and gathered information, as well as new supports.

My most rewarding experience, yes hind-sight is 20/20, was the November 9 networking event with the Maryland Association of Nonprofit Organizations and other nonprofit organizations. While I was almost sick to my stomach just thinking about going, it was a great experience, and I was able to gather new resources from that event. I must admit, I’m looking forward to my next one.
