The Problem:
There are many issues and challenges that skill gaps and shortages can create…
Many areas of the economy
Skill gaps and shortages can affect many areas of the economy
• Unemployment
• Business birth rates
• Productivity
• Profitability
• Innovation
• Business Growth

Common Competencies Required
• values, beliefs and attitudes (e.g. action orientation,
desire for independence, initiative, creativity etc.);
• ‘soft’ skills including interpersonal, communication and
networking skills;
• realistic awareness of the risks and benefits of self-
employment;
• functional business skills (financial, HR management,
market research, marketing)
• relevant business knowledge (legislative, taxation,
sources of finance etc.)
Many people also want to work for themselves…
…but unfortunately, lack key skills and certain competencies

Reasons
• insufficient self-awareness of own skill needs, and lack of self-
assessment as ‘business people’;
• lack of business experience and/or lack of relevant business
training: with particular reference to skills such as cash flow,
financial management, marketing / winning business, creating
& management business systems;
• insufficient ‘soft’ skills, including interpersonal skills;
• lack of staff management skills (where relevant)
There are specific reasons…
…for these lack of skills and many of the challenges in the economy

5 Key Factors
Confidence – ‘They could do it’
Motivation – ‘They want/need to do it’
Skills – ‘They are able to do it’
Resources – ‘They have the means to do it’
Market – ‘There is an opportunity for them’
In addition to ignorance, apathy & fear…
…there are 5 key factors preventing individuals from considering self-employment

The 4 Stages
The different stages:
• Pre start-up
• Start-up
• Survival
• Growth
require a different balance of skills for self-employment:
support between financial support and human capital
support.
In addition to just knowledge or skills…
We also recognise that individuals require help, support and
encouragement through each stage of their entrepreneurial
journey and offer this via Grow Your Business® Club.

Encouraging individuals to work for themselves
Considering Self-Employment?
We encourage individuals to recognise the value of their
“intellectual” capital, and to productise and monetise it
by packaging and sharing their own knowledge, skills &
expertise via Grow Your Business® School and the club.
This can often give individuals the confidence to consider
self-employment and to derive a passive income whilst
still in full or part-time employment.
It also enables self-employed individuals & small business
owners to achieve a number of objectives whilst continuing
to grow their business.

wondering what to do next with
your life?
