X To A as an Entrepreneur

Becoming and entrepreneur-from X to A. You might be saying "Don't you mean from A to X?" well not for Richard Kays. This past summer while I was in Prince Edward Island, I met Richard. He is the owner of the Avonlea Bookstore in Summerside. Avonlea is a great used bookstore 2 minutes from the ocean. Richard used to work for Xerox, but after a few years he realized that he wanted to do something for himself. The Avonlea bookstore was for sale and the rest they say, is history.

Richard became an entrepreneur from X to A!

"You don't do it for the money" Richard says. Before he bought it he spoke with a number of other book store owners and really liked what he saw and heard. He found a business that met his professional and lifestyle needs and he has been running a successful business for a number of years. The important part is that it was the right move and it has been great for him and his family. Summerside is a beautiful small town on PEI that is close enough to everything on the Island, yet small enough to be self contained and have a great quality of life.

Sounds nice doesn't it? Maybe being a business owner is right for you too. If you are thinking of going this direction, you need to start with these three questions:

!. Are you an entrepreneur?
2. What are the best options for you and your family?
3. What steps do you need to take to start?
