So, I am studying to become an American Sign Language Interpreter. I love everything that goes with it. The culture the beauty in the movements, the flexibility, etc. Right now, I live in a small town in Oregon. I was talking to my dad about starting abuisiness. This is what he told me I need to do if i want to start business:
1. get an idea: ASL tutoring and resource center
2. get a business license
3. Get a space
4. Get a business plan and mission statement
5. Get a start up loan
6. Do some marketing and some advertising
7. Get a website: blogspot for now
8. Find your target consumers
9.Do some research
10. Have a build out plan to make the space your own
11. open for business
Im thinking my business would be an ASL tutoring and research center. This would be a place where Deaf and hearing alike could come and get ASL classes or borrow books about Deaf culture, ASL signs etc. we would also provide counseling, links to interpreting services, lists of businesses that have product for Deaf to buy such as hearing aids, TTYs, vibrating alarms, and lists of places that offer other services, etc. Also, we would provide workshops for businesses on how to deal with customers that cant hear or have hard time hearing.It would target anyone who is Deaf or Hard of Heating, knows sign language or wants to know, students, and businesses that need to know how to serve their Deaf consumers.
Ambitious, no?
Well, Hasta la vista
