Steps

  1. Figure out what type of work or help is needed most in the neighborhood that you are eligible to do.
  2. Find friends who are willing to do the work for your business.
  3. Figure out available hours, where and when clients can contact you, and a price with your friends.
  4. Advertise, once the information is figured out. Put up posters, hand out flyers, and if you can afford it, put your advertisement in your local newspaper.
  5. Have meetings at the advertised place and time for people who want you to work and schedule it in!

Tips

  • It is recommended that your business should hold a treasury that each of you should pay with your earned money at least once a week to pay for things you need for your business.
  • It is also recommended that the secretary keep a phone and address book of your clients and a calendar with your scheduled appointments to reduce the the chance of a forgotten appointment.

Warnings

  • Check with your parents first to make sure this is okay with them.
  • The president should consider EVERYONE'S ideas fairly to avoid a fight and possibly the end of your business.

Things You'll Need

  • A calendar
  • A phone and address book
  • A box or an envelope(for the treasury)
  • A place to meet a couple times a week
  • A president, vice president, secretary,(preferably someone who has good penmanship), and a treasurer, (all of you can do the work)
