In the first half of our program, Dar Schwanbeck, Managing Director for the Northern Alberta Business Incubator and Marie Anstey, Registry Operations Manager for Drayden Insurance Ltd. provided attendees with some very good insights. And then, following our refreshment break and some getting to know each other a little better, Rob LeLacheur, Publisher of the St. Albert Leader weekly newspaper added some great value with his perspectives on starting and growing a business. This, together with a few thoughts on business plans that we provided on behalf of Pro-Vision Solutions Inc. has really set the stage to help our keen group of entrepreneurs as they move forward with their businesses.
The "Business START-UP Seminar Series" provides participants with a great introduction to starting a business - in this instance, in the City of St. Albert. It will also help them to connect with a variety of helpful strategic partners, business owners, service providers and sponsors. Feedback from attendees has been positive and as has been experienced in other locations, the series will again prove to be an invaluable investment as they work their way through their business start-up and early-stage growth.
Pictured to the right is Rob LeLacheur, Publisher, St. Albert Leader. Rob offered up some very practical tips related to business start-up. "Money can hide a lot of problems," he said. "So in whatever you’re doing, focus on where your resources can be best used."
CBC Radio provided opportunity for Jim Ewing to speak with Mark Connolly, host of Edmonton AM. As mentioned in that conversation, we’re looking forward to providing similar events elsewhere. In fact, there's already been positive responses & interest from other communities. A copy of the interview is on our YouTube Channel and can be seen at: http://youtu.be/0JDaMeJVakA
