Many family life educators have already been in practice before contemplating starting their own private business. Your success as a private business owner, however, requires more than being good at what you do and filing paperwork! There are important foundational business planning issues to consider and decisions to make. Sound research and planning can help guarantee your success, while failing to plan or making assumptions can doom your new business, no matter what else you do. These are key issues everyone needs to consider and decide, whether you are an individual or organization, nonprofit, or for-profit.

Many family life educators want to start their own private business, but have no products or programs to offer, which makes it difficult to launch — let alone succeed in — a private business. Or they spend time and money creating educational products and services, but few people access them and their business struggles financially. To prevent these common challenges, it’s important to plan what you will offer in a strategic way, before you start creating your programs and resources.
