LEARNING AND CONVERSATION FROM FIRESIDE CHAT

FORMAT CHANGE: We are creating an interactive Fireside Chat Environment. Therefore, instead of waiting to the end of the Fireside Chat for questions and answers, we will do so after a couple of subject matters are discussed.

The following are some of the subjects Mark will be discussing with us:

 How can business be an art?

 Establishing and maintaining passion in an entrepreneurial business.

 Evaluating cost and value in your product(s)/service(s).

 How to create lasting value.

 Pricing……what is the market willing to pay for your product(s)/service(s)?

 Conveying passion to others….inside and outside your business.

 The realities of being a small businesses.

Mark is known for “telling it like it is.” That will not be a problem on Sept. 25th.
