Sharing Knowledge from the Past ~ Building Skills for the FutureBeekeeping: Hobby to Business Workshop
Join the WISER Center and the Local Living Venture for
Turning Your Hobby into a Business
What it does it mean, and what does it take?
Or growing your beekeeping hobby into a source of income?
Building a business can be exciting and rewarding, but it is not for everyone. This talk focuses on what it means to go into business, what it takes, and whether or not it would be a good fit for you. During this presentation, participants can expect to:
- Review the differences between pursuing a hobby and managing a business
- Assess their strengths and motivations for going into business
- Understand why a customer-centered business model is key to success
- Learn about the core functions that make up a healthy business
- Identify important steps in the business planning process
- Receive a to-do list of the tasks necessary to launch a startup honey business
