Lindsey Wilson Seminar to help entrepreneurs get started

"Build Your Own Job" Seminar on February 24, 2011, at The Pines designed to help Launch local residents' Big New Business Ideas

By Duane Bonifer,
News from Lindsey Wilson College

Have a blockbuster idea for a new product or service?

A Lindsey Wilson College professor with expertise on starting and running small businesses will lead a seminar on February 24 to tell people how to turn that idea into reality.

LWC Assistant Professor of Business Al Efferstein will lead a session about how to start a new business or launch a new product at 11amCT on Thursday, February 24, 2011, at Mulligan's at the Pines at Lindsey Wilson, 275 Country Club RD, Columbia, KY. The seminar is free and open to the public.




Efferstein's February 24 seminar is the first of eight free LWC presentations that are part of "Build Your Own Job," a project that focuses on how to build and operate a small business.

At the February 24 seminar, Efferstein will provide the basics an aspiring business owner should include in a business plan in order to attract investment capital.

Efferstein's approach, built on 10 critical business-plan development questions, is designed to take the frustration out of what can be a costly and time-consuming process.

In addition to providing business tips, "Build Your Own Job" seminars will be a good networking opportunity for aspiring entrepreneurs to share ideas with current business owners and entrepreneur-minded college students studying business, science and communication.

"Build Your Own Job" is the first step in developing LWC's Center for Entrepreneurship, a free community resource staffed by LWC professors and students to help budding local entrepreneurs implement new-business plans.

The remaining schedule for Build Your Own Job is:
  • March 24, 2011: Preparing a Marketing Plan
  • April 14, 2011: Identifying Funding Resources
  • May 11, 2011: Deciding On Compensation and Benefits
  • June 9, 2011: Staffing
  • September 22, 2011: Understanding Business Law
