How to Run a Business (GEM 2)

Hear the story of a successful entrepreneur. Learn to set realistic goals. Is your idea a business opportunity or an enjoyable hobby? Learn how to describe your business idea on paper so that others have an understanding. In a business simulation you will learn some of the challenges of running a business. This seminar gives the participant a chance to run a Simulated Business. They are given a location and building. Then, working in a group and studying the demographics for the area, they decide what type of business to start in that location. Next they hire employees, decide hours of operation, how to market their products/services and types of advertising to use.
