As examples for products participants can create fashion, accessories, greeting cards, stationary, soaps, oils, home decor and more. For services students have created dog washing, lemonade/drink stands, baking, gardening.
OWN…Participants learn biz skills such as branding, advertising, logo creation, marketing, cost and profit and walk away with a complete business plan and marketing launch plan.
They then get the opportunity to “pitch” their business idea to gain public speaking experience.
