Program points Utah businesswomen toward business success

Graduation day is often the culmination of lots of hard work and learning that brings optimism to students as they head into "the real world." The same can also be said of those embarking on their second careers in the world of entrepreneurship.

On Wednesday, 10 women entrepreneurs will celebrate the end of a 15-week journey that they hope will payoff for them as they strive to become successful business owners.

"We talk about time management, goal setting, work-life balance, marketing, accounting and bookkeeping," said program manager and instructor Danielle Lower. Students also learn how to develop an operations manual and figure out cash flow projections, she added — skills that will be critical in running a successful enterprise. Deseret News
