Event Details

Over some 16 years, Jim Vahle has consistently been our most popular speaker. A leading consultant, teacher and all-round commentator on things entrepreneurial, Jim returns to the Entrepreneurial Roundtable (after two years) with an up-date on a topic that always packs the house: how to find opportunities to start (or grow) your own business.

An hour with Jim will give you a multitude of ways to seek out and evaluate profitable business opportunities. In his straightforward manner, Jim will show you not only where to look for ideas for a new business but how to look.

You will discover that many of the greatest ideas for new businesses - or expanding existing businesses - are in plain sight. It just took someone with a special insight to identify the opportunity and then develop it into a viable business
