Starting a Business Successfully 

What are the myths and realities of entrepreneurship? How do you plan for success? This workshop will introduce you to the world of small business and guide you to prepare for being a business owner.  Our main speaker will help you explore what it takes to be an entrepreneur, how to develop a business concept, and how to plan for becoming a business owner. He will explain your choices for  owning a business and guide you to get the help you need to succeed.  Also, we have arranged for a librarian from Austin Public Library to attend to discuss how to use research resources to tailor your business to the marketplace and a representative from Fran Net to talk about franchises.
