AN INCOME OF HER OWN
More than a hundred female
students from across Williamson County recently received a
valuable lesson in the world of business. An Income of
Her Own Entrepreneurship Conference was held October 4
at Old Natchez Country Club. The purpose of the conference
was to introduce the teens to female business owners and
encourage them to explore business-ownership as a future
career option.
While there, the girls learned
how to budget and avoid being in debt. They also
learned the importance of networking as they met with
various business owners from across Williamson County.
Perhaps one of the most exciting moments came when the girls
were split into groups and given a small box of recycled
materials. The teens were told to use those materials
to invent a product and create a mini-business plan.
Each
team presented its product and business plan to the whole
group at the conclusion of the day.
The Girl Scouts of Middle TN
hosted the event, which was attended by 104 students from
high schools in Williamson County. |
