The workshop will be presented by Brigitte Betser of FranNet of Michigan, and will be held in the conference room of Lenawee Now at 5285 W. US 223 in Adrian. Small business experts from the Michigan Small Business and Technology Development Center will be available to answer specific questions.
“We need to foster a mindset in our region that getting a job is not the only option,” said Jack Townsley, Business Services Manager for South Central Michigan Works!. Creating your own job through entrepreneurism is a viable alternative.”
Brigitte Betser assists individuals in career transition on a daily basis. With over 125 franchise opportunities to choose from in a multitude of industries and investment levels, Brigitte helps her clients find just the right fit based on their interests, goals, personality, skills and resources.
“Lenawee Now is excited to be part of this opportunity and looks forward to assisting our local entrepreneurs turn their vision into reality,” said Tim Robinson, Director of Operations at Lenawee Now.
“Blissfield knows all about gardening, and sharing information about franchises with people who want to be their own boss is ‘economic gardening,’” said Patricia Rayl, Blissfield DDA/Main Street Director. “This presentation is planting seeds—we’re growing our own Lenawee County small business owners!”
