Adult Education Center: Career Pathways Program: Introduction to Business Ownership 

The Introduction to Business Ownership is an opportunity to obtain all the information you will need to decide if you are ready ditch your boss and start your own business during your lunch hour.

It takes much more than a good idea and a desire to run your own business to be successful. You'll learn what's required to start your business, the work you need to put in, a comparison between being an entrepreneur and being an employee, and discuss some of the myths and rewards involved. Enjoy a boxed lunch, lively discussions and advice from a top instructor. This is sure to help you decide if starting your own business is the right thing for you to do.

Instructor: Irene Dec is Palm Beach SCORE’s Vice Chair for Education.
