SBS: First Step to Starting a Business Webinar

Opening a business in New York City can be intimidating at the start. Many entrepreneurs ask: where do I begin?

The goal of this course is to help you understand what it means to be a successful entrepreneur in New York City.

During the course, you will:

• Learn about the core competencies of successful entrepreneurs

• Assess yourself for these competencies, and create a self-improvement plan

• Learn about the motivations and resources required to launch a successful business

• Define your expectations for your small business, and create an action plan to validate them
