Business Accelerated Growth
Session 2 – Seeking the Opportunity Part II
Purpose of this Session
Not all entrepreneurial opportunities are created equally.
Sometimes, those opportunities provide for a lifestyle business;
others provide for a sustainable business; and still others provide
for explosive growth. The purpose of Session 2 is to evaluate
how to assess the scope and extent of entrepreneurial
opportunities we come across.
