SUMMARY:Hustle\, Hobby or Hard No
DESCRIPTION:Is your idea meant to be a business? A risk-free introduction to self-employment.\n\n\nNot sure if self-employment is right for you? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out alone either. \nThis beginner-friendly session is designed for anyone who’s thinking about starting a business\, dabbling in a hobby that might have income potential\, or wondering if entrepreneurship is even a good fit. Whether you’re dreaming of a side hustle\, testing an idea\, or just trying to make sense of your options\, this workshop will help you explore three clear paths: \n? Hustle – turn your idea into income \n? Hobby – keep it fun\, no pressure \n? Hard No – decide it’s not for you (and that’s okay!) \nWe’ll walk through what self-employment really looks like\, how to assess your time and resources\, and how to match your skills to low-cost business ideas. You’ll also get tools to help you validate your idea\, reflect on your readiness\, and make a confident\, informed decision about your next step.  \nWith facilitator Ramona Gallagher \nRamona Ciparis Gallagher offers common-sense guidance to uncommon entrepreneurs. As the founder of Business Basics Canada\, she helps vision-driven founders\, often starting with limited resources and big dreams\, build practical\, stage-specific skills to move forward with clarity. Having bootstrapped her own ventures\, Ramona brings real-world experience\, plain-language tools\, and a supportive\, no-fluff approach. Her workshops blend structure\, encouragement\, and a spark of fun to help entrepreneurs turn ideas into action\, whether they’re writing their first business plan or planning their next big move.
