About The Entrepreneur Network
The Entrepreneur Network (TEN) is a program of the Zimmer Foundation, a 501(c)3Michigan non-profit corporation. Since 1988, we've been providing free counseling toinventors and entrepreneurs through bothTENandSCORE. Our credentials are outlined in the attachedbio.Our strengths are in the pre-startup and early stage phases -- we can help with later-stage operational and expansion problems, but so can many others -- SCORE, theSBDCs, independent business consultants, etc.We differ from most of the other entrepreneur websites in that our interests tendtoward 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 othersites. While "making money" is essential in every business, we feel that enjoying it --having
 fun
doing it -- is just as important -- and not everyone finds the tensions thatcome with chasing "big" business enjoyable.We work best with those who have creative skills -- who simply want to use thoseskills to do their "own thing" -- not someone else's. Our specialty is in helpingindividuals find creative ways to do
"what you want with what you've got"
. Examples:
q
 
Inventors
-- How to get your invention to market (if in fact it can be) withoutgetting taken at every step along the way.
q
 
Entrepreneurs
-- How to find business opportunities that fit your skills and"bootstrap" your way into them.
q
 
Artists & craftspeople
-- How to start selling your work without leaving yourday job.
q
 
Technical service providers
(aka freelancing scientists, engineers, technicians)-- How to broaden your client base and start realizing your
true
market value.Understand there's no "free lunch" -- no "get rich quick" methods. Success in business
