So,
it's a new year, and we are on my second project. With the first one
in Austin, Texas, complete, I am in New York for the second one.
This
second one will be a discovery project I call "Find Out, The Big
Apple Project."
The
blog is all about building skills that are crucial to any project,
start-up, business, or non-profit. Skills like presentation, setting
appointments, follow-ups, interviewing, collaboration, project
management, customer relations, and others.
With
New York being the big apple, and in a sense, the business capital of
the world, this project presents me a unique challenge of finding out
the skills that make New York business owners doing business in the
heart of New York downtown, Manhattan, tick.
3
simple questions in an interview with each owner will help me find
out.
Questions
- What do you consider your chief skill as entrepreneur in running their business?
- What unique challenges or difficulties do you face as a business owner in New York's small business climate and how you handle it.
- What joys and passions keep you going, or what you find rewarding about doing business in the Big Apple.Any other thing: Any other thing the business owner will like to discuss or share with others?

Thanks, and I will then follow-up with each owner with a copy of the interview via email.
That's
it. 3 simple questions that should help me and everyone reading learn from them. The
goal is to find out what the real skills entrepreneurs in the real
world are using, the challenges of running a business, and the
joys/passions.
On
to it.
