Questions and Resources

A Micro Enterprise Project consultant works with the person on a regular basis as they move through the 4 step process and settle into operating their enterprise.

In the first weeks and months, the Micro Enterprise consultant guides  the person, and their support networks through the Discovery process. This step discovers the persons interests, talents, capabilities, strengths and available resources and starts considering the potential of a micro enterprise that is meaningful and purposeful for the person.

Following on from Discovery, the consultant guides the participant and their support networks on the journey of becoming successful enterprise owner through the next steps: Exploration, Launch (creation), and Operations (maintenance).

The person uses their individualised NDIS funding and is assisted to recruit a specific paid worker  in the role of Enterprise PA (personal assistant)/ Recruiting a PA who has skills in the particular business focus is critical. The PA does not undertake any other home or community support. The PA works during the enterprise business hours assisting the owner with enterprise tasks. The Micro Enterprise Project consultant continues to work regularly with the person and their enterprise PA and Enterprise Management Group to support the ongoing operation and success of the enterprise.

This 6 minute video goes into detail of the 4 step process.
