Purpose: An opportunity to share the seminar title and intended audience, break the ice and welcome everyone. Presentation Notes: Open up the presentation by welcoming everyone and thank them for attending Briefly refer to the title of the presentation and explain the purpose (provide helpful information) and the intended audience (anyone considering exploring business ownership) Briefly introduce yourself and why you are leading the seminar. Introduce anyone else that needs introducing. If some one or some group has arranged the seminar (ie. CPCC), thank them.
Purpose: To emphasize that many people want to own a business, but very few actually do it. Also, to begin the discussion of exploring options. Presentation Notes: Before showing the percentages, ask people to guess them Ask for possible reasons why so few people own a business Start a brief discussion on some ideas about how to effectively explore business ownership THIS IS A CRITICAL SLIDE AND WILL BE REFERRED TO SEVERAL MORE TIMES IN THE PRESENTATION. BE SURE TO GENERATE SOME DISCUSSION ON THE WHY AND HOW. ALSO, TRY TO GET THE GROUP TO RELATE TO THE CHALLENGE OF MOVING FROM THE DREAM OF BUSINESS OWNERSHIP TO THE REALITY.
Purpose: List and discuss the critical areas of profiling. Presentation Notes: This need to be thoroughly considered and documented Once again, honesty is important
Purpose: To explain validation and stress that it is important so the profile can be validated or proven accurate. Presentation Notes: Emphasize that we are still in the education phase even though we are actually looking at business options, the purpose of looking at business options is the profile validation and not the selection of an option Expand on the idea that the profile may need to be modified if the exploration of the business option allows a person to better define something, provide an example to illustrate this point (ie. Someone has indicated that they love sales, but as they observe the actual sales activities within a business option they discover that they may have been mistaken)
Purpose: Present the final two steps of the approach. Presentation Notes: Emphasize that there will come a time to make a selection and that a person must be prepared to decide and act when the time is right This thorough approach will help a person to make a selection secure in the knowledge that great care was taken which will make selection easier and success more likely
