Final exams begin!

Wednesday, April 27th
(Dr. John Mulford)


Final exams started this evening with the first group of five.  It is fun to see how far they have come—both the presenters and their colleagues who ask tough questions and give good advice.  Everything went smoothly except transitions between presentations.  Some hooked up their own computers to our projector, but they weren’t compatible.  I try to avoid using my computer with their flash drives because they are filled with viruses.  They helped each other to get set up. 
Some are wondering how launch their businesses, because they don’t have any start-up funds.  Others have found ways to launch with little.  Grace, who is developing an on-line business magazine and business directory, said her team will contribute their own funds (about $3,000) and work without salary (in addition to their day jobs), in order to launch now.  The last presenter, Mathilde (grocery supplier with home delivery), showed us her website, developed by her 16-yr old daughter, and showed us her business registration, bank book, and business cards.  She’s moving ahead no matter what!
