With so much information out there for entrepreneurs, how do you know where to start or what to focus on?

There is no one-size-fits-all blueprint for entrepreneurship. To find your path and strategically build and develop your business, join us for an interactive workshop and learn how to identify:

  • Your "why" within entrepreneurship,
  • How to justify your product or service within your specific industry, and
  • Your next steps to get to your goals.
