UPCOMING GBACC EVENTS
GBACC BUSINESS MEETING:
The next GBACC Business meeting will be Wednesday, January 11, 2012, 7:30 AM at the Green Country Inn, 620 Souder Road, Brunswick.
A Recipe for Success
Sure, everyone knows how to bake a cake: you get some flour, sugar, eggs, maybe some other stuff, mix it all together and throw it into the oven for a while, right?
Wrong! The only thing that is a recipe for is a disaster.
Unfortunately, that is the approach many people have to running a business, but, unless they are extremely lucky, their business will likely fail after a few painful years of increasing losses and misery.
The Business 101 seminars in January will be about the recipe for a healthy business.
In these sessions, Mike Dailey, the Executive Director of the Frederick Innovative Technology Center, Inc. will explain how a good business model and associated plan can help a business not only survive but thrive. He will talk about how these tools are an important part of a successful business operation and why smart business owners use these simple-to-use tools to manage the most important aspects of their businesses on an ongoing basis.
Oftentimes new business owners feel they don't have enough time or experience to develop a business model and business plan. However, no business is static and no economic environment is ever unchanging. Without a guiding set of strategic principles and focus, business owners sometimes don't know how to adapt to changes as they inevitably occur. A set of management tools allows entrepreneurs to quickly evaluate environmental changes, new opportunities, and challenging business conditions ensuring future success.
These two seminars in the Business 101 series will be held on Thursday, January 12 and the following Thursday. They will be a El Sloppy Taco (12 S. Maple Avenue in Brunswick) and will start at 7:00 p.m. There will be snacks.
The Business 101 seminars have been brought together by GBACC, the EDC, and Mainstreet. They are free and open to anyone in business or who wants to be in business.
