Lesson Plans To Entrepreneurship

Our Lesson Plans To Entrepreneurship are practical, and the information comes directly from the "front-lines" of business battles. Our approach is aimed at creating knowledge, skills, and awareness in the critical aspects of funding, launching, and growing a new business venture and then leading it to a successful harvest.

Introduction
The greatest challenge a new business venture faces is getting the right things done in the right order. Knowing what to do, and in what sequence, is critical, especially since the entrepreneur has very limited time and resources. Starting companies is much like launching a rocket: If at launch you're just a fraction of a degree off, you could end up a thousand miles off course downrange.
