Educational and networking opportunity will help owners make their businesses succeed
Ortonville-area business owners are invited to attend a seminar that will address questions they may face during this economic recession and steps they should take to help their business succeed. The seminar is set for 7 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 22, at the Ortonville Area Health Services Dialysis Building, 450 Eastvold Ave. through the Roy St. entrance.
During this seminar, business owners will discuss how our economy got to where it is today; how to avoid “freezing up” during this economic climate and gain 16 “driving lessons” to implement in their business.
The seminar will be facilitated by Duane Hoversten, Small Business Management instructor/consultant and business owner. Hoversten will share the lessons he has learned from 15 years of teaching and consulting, as well as 25 years of experience in his own business ventures.
