Got a million dollar idea but don’t know the next step?
Community Futures' Ideas to Opportunities Seminar this Saturday might help you make it a reality.
The seminar has the goal of helping individuals start turning their ideas into businesses explains Brock Harrington, general manager of Community Futures.
“That’s part of what we do here - we take ideas and turn them into opportunities,” he explains. “It is a good way to brainstorm. Lots of people have good ideas and sometimes they need others to help flush them out, or confirm it is a bad idea.”
He says right now he is not seeing too many interested in starting new businesses, and Community Future’s role is to try to encourage people to explore their ideas with an end goal of creating a viable business.
“We are developmental lenders, number one,” he said. “Number two we are here to support people, businesses, and ideas, and help mentor them.”
The Ideas to Opportunities Seminar will be held this Saturday from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at Community Futures Big Country.
