Learn It – Entrepreneurship A to Z will walk college level students and young entrepreneurs through their first steps down the entrepreneurs’ path. Let’s say you’ve got an idea for a business and the enthusiasm to make it a reality.  Before jumping into the deep end of the entrepreneurial pool, ask yourself some key questions.  Can you make sense of the numbers, and determine realistic projections for your business for the next five years?   And most importantly, when you need capital for your startup, are you ready to deliver a compelling 20-minute investor presentation that results in money?  Limited to 250 attendees.  To register for this session, click the link at the bottom of this page.

Who Wants to Be an Entrepreneur? participants will have the opportunity to meet and talk with Oklahoma community and business leaders during the networking luncheon and reception that will add valuable contacts to any resource list.

Don’t miss this opportunity to Learn it, Teach it and Live it at the 2011 Who Wants to Be an Entrepreneur? workshop. The workshop is free, and lunch is provided. However, registration is required.
