The Entrepreneur Network (TEN) is a program of the Zimmer Foundation, a 501(c)3 Michigan non-profit corporation. Since 1988, they have been providing free counseling to inventors and entrepreneurs through both TEN and SCORE. Their strengths are in the pre-startup and early stage phases -- they can help with later-stage operational and expansion problems, but so can many others -- SCORE, the SBDCs, independent business consultants, etc. They differ from most of the other entrepreneur websites in that their interests tend toward the inexperienced who are trying to start and develop "life-style" businesses. Those who are looking to bet big bucks on big results are well served by the other sites. While "making money" is essential in every business, they feel that enjoying it -- having fun doing it -- is just as important -- and not everyone finds the tensions that come with chasing "big" business enjoyable. We work best with those who have creative skills -- who simply want to use those skills to do their "own thing" -- not someone else's. Their specialty is in helping individuals find creative ways to do "what you want with what you've got". This has been added to Entrepreneurial Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
