Thank you to Eriann Faris of SWWC Service Coop for providing a day of learning and networking for the CEO programs in Minnesota. Betsy Bonnema started our day speaking about her business working to help small businesses find their passion, reinvent themselves and love their work. She spoke on three topics; 1) How can you love your work, 2) Are you an entrepreneur, and 3) What will your story be? She told the young professionals that failures are the richness of your story and asked them what they were willing to sacrifice to be successful?
Next there was a great panel of young entrepreneurs from our area, including JoAnn Wolf from the Stonehouse Supper Club in Pipestone. Our young professionals were inspired by their stories and passion for their businesses.
Finally the young professionals engaged with others in a game of entrepreneurial bingo! It was a great day!

Thank you to SMSU for hosting , SWIF and SWWC for financial sponsoring the day and all who participated in creating this wonderful event.
