Starting a Successful Business
Success
After taking as seminar in writing business plans at the IDEA Center in Ulyanovsk, Olga Mishchenko not only developed a competent business plan but also successfully defended it, receiving a start-up grant from the local Employment Agency and using the funds to launch her own online company.
Overview
“I have long wanted to start up my own business,” says Olga Mishchenko, “but a desire alone is not enough: one needs to have sufficient knowledge and skills to organize things well. Unfortunately, I had very little acquaintance with business principles and economic terms, so when I heard about business seminars offered at the IDEA Center of Ulyanovsk State University, I decided to attend. Thanks to the training I was able to develop a competent business plan which I then successfully defended in the city hall. Now my company is up and running, and I use the business plan to keep it on track. I also find myself giving business advice to my friends who are thinking of launching their own firms. I guess success breeds success!”
At the alumna’s request her first and last names have been changed.
