After analyzing your strengths and weaknesses, you might need others’ help to succeed. You will certainly need someone for references, recommendations or a helping hand to polish up your idea.

You can first count on:

• your friends and acquaintances (family, sports teams, former colleagues, etc.)
• friends of friends (family friends, etc.)
• existing networks (business networks, chambers of commerce, etc.)

They will be amongst the first people to hear about your project, so it’s important to discuss it with them and to get feedback.

Each person you approach will have an opinion, but also valuable advice!
