Being your own boss, building a legacy — that sounds appealing, right? So you start planning to launch your own business.

You’ll probably run into some questions along the way.

WHO: Barry McKinley, SCORE Counselor in Orange County, California. He’ll answer questions about what first steps to take to start a business, and how and when to get a small business idea off the ground, according to the SBA.

WHEN: April 22, 2010, 10 am to 11am PST.

HOW: Join the chat by going to www.sba.gov, and clicking “Online Business Chat.” You can post questions before April 22 by visiting this page.
