| The workshop, which was developed by FastTrac and the Kauffman Foundation, will help you evaluate and measure your business strategies. Specifically designed for entrepreneurs, this workshop will help you answer the question “What do I really want from my business, and how do I get it?” This course is for those who want to transition from entrepreneur to business owner or for those who want to turn their side-business into their main business. The only way to make that transition is to plan for the business. Vigilance does not happen by accident. It is planned. If your priorities and interests extend beyond idea generation to business generation, this workshop can help you plan for the transition. If your business is beyond the start-up phase and ready for growth, this workshop can help you understand where you are and determine where you want to go and how. |

| What is most required of business owners-managers today? Not persistence. Not dedication. Not energy, ego, or enthusiasm. The answer is vigilance. Business owners-managers must be vigilant to take advantage opportunities created by new business models, new technology, and new marketplaces. Business leaders today must be proactive, not reactive. The old way of running a business by reacting to customer changes, cost increases, and competitive adjustments does not build or sustain businesses today. Today's business owners-managers must be proactive and predict customer need changes. They must have finely tuned operations so cost fluctuations are not impactful. They must be innovative so the competition does not surprise them or their customers. Today's business leaders must be vigilant. |
