A Good Business Starts With a Bad Problem

If you are an entrepreneur and you haven't asked yourself "What do people need?" instead of the usual "How can I make money?" then you're probably doing it wrong. The best way to ensure success with a unique product/service is to make sure that it fixes something that is broken, or adds even more value to something that's "already good." Join us for a morning of motivation as award-winning community activist, author, and speaker, Jasmine Bozeman, shares her approach to creating business in the Quad Cities. "Where is the gap and how can I use my gifts and skills to fulfill it?" is a thought process that helps translate what can I offer into what the market is asking for.
