Navigating Entrepreneurship

Thu, May 25, 2023
12:00 PM – 1:00 PM

With so much information out there for entrepreneurs, how do you know where to start or what to focus on?

There is no blueprint for entrepreneurship. To find your path and strategically identify how to build and develop your business, join us for an interactive workshop and learn how to identify:

  • Your "why" within entrepreneurship,
  • How to justify your product or service within your specific industry, and
  • Your next steps to get you to your goals.

About the Presenter: Madeleine Wolske is the Director of the Small Business Development Center at the Champaign County Economic Development Center. She works one-on-one with entrepreneurs wanting to reach their full potential. She aims to foster collaborative and inclusive learning opportunities and increase awareness of resources existing in Champaign County for underserved community members wanting to start or grow their business. Madeleine has been working for the Champaign-Urbana entrepreneurial community for the past 8 years and was previously the Business Librarian at Champaign Public Library.

The SBDC is to assist in job creation, support entrepreneurship, business start-up, expansion, productivity, and to sharpen small business management in the region.
