The Strawberry Discovery and Niche Process (SDNP) introduces a workbook, a new systematic method, a compact and cost-effective training process. The trainees are directed in a systematic process to make an inventory of their most valuable resources, including themselves, and plan for additional training or a career. On the basis of their discoveries, they generate: a plan for self-employment, plans directing their energies to projects, tele-work, and networks. Most of them also create their own products and services, compiling them into tentative business ideas and entrepreneurial plans. The name of the process is based on the `mind map' of a strawberry plant that illustrates the process. Keywords Creative problem-solving, Emotional intelligence, Entrepreneurship, Self-employment, Tacit knowledge
