The top two topics were High Heels: How to Advance In Business Without Losing Your Skirt and Mistakes Learned The Hard Way: 10 Things Not To Do When Starting Your Own Company. For High Heels, I learned that a women needs to teach people how to treat them and there are three ways in doing so through: dress, talk and action. This knowledge will help me in the future by knowing the correct way to dress, talk and act in order to be respected in the business world. Secondly, during the 10 Things Not To Do session I learned how to avoid practical mistakes such as, constructing the correct team to make a business the strongest, equality is beneficial, and an entrepreneur must be very passionate about their business in order to succeed. This information will help me in the future because by having the correct team I can save my business a lot of money.
I also attended the elevator pitches for round one and the final because Katie Racey, a junior at Grand Valley State University, participated. Through attending the pitches I learned how to improve my elevator speech, which will ultimately help me gain support and capital from potential investors.
I benefited from the conference because of the discussion of the experience from current successful entrepreneurs and the experience of being with fellow entrepreneur minds. I can use this information to start my business because it not only strengthen my probability of succeeding but it also helps me gain a support group on staying persistent with “sticking to it” during rough times.
