Embarking on the

building of your first

business and taking on

the journey of the

entrepreneur is not for

the faint of heart…

planning is important,

but only action defines

the entrepreneur. In

this workshop, Kevin

Koym will demonstrate

how to take those first

steps by illustrating

some of the successes

and scars he has had

throughout his own

journey. Both for the

first time entrepreneur

and the entrepreneur

that is already

engaged, this

workshop promises to

be engaging and

valuable.

“BY SUPPORTING OUR ENTREPRENEURS, WE BUILD COMMUNITY TO IMPACT THE WORLD”
