It's Getting Hot in Here...Did SomebodyJust Whiteboard and Blog (about the Whiteboard)?!

After mini white-boarding ways to parse the book for students, I decided to segment Steve Mariotti’s book into 4 main bites that students can tackle each week to the best of their ability; this will enable them to prioritize individually what is most important from each bite and also convey their key takeaways vis a vis the Blog.
Steve Mariotti’s 4 Main Bites per week (Weeks 1-4)
Note: Parts refer to how Mariotti divides his book up
  1. Create Your Business (Part 1) and Write a Winning Business Plan (Part 7a)
  2. Connect with Customers (Part 2) and Write a Winning Business Plan (Part 7b)
  3. Manage Your Money and Protect your Business (Parts 3 + 4)
  4. Grow and Harvest Your Business  (Parts 5 + 6)

I was also thinking of reaching out to Steve to see if he would love to collaborate and potentially share some thoughts with Harvard EF students? He currently serves as the Chair of the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE pronounced Nifty) based out of NYC and probably would love to collaborate or share his stories with Harvard EF. We can chat more on Wednesday about this…
