Ok so why wouldn’t you start your own business? Hindsight being 20/20 I should have gone into business for my self as soon as I was done school.

Seriously ….why not?

So the government has realized that there is a lot of value in teaching students how to start their own businesses. Part of this strategy ….which is doing great BTW … is the Ontario secondary school Business plan competition.

That is right ….since 2002 The Ministry of Small Business and Entrepreneurship along with Community Small Business Centres have partnered to put on the Ontario Secondary School Business Plan Competition.

To put this into perspective …. I was just talking to the Regional Business Centre and they told me that they had between 75-100 submissions this year. To put that in perspective ….we are talking about students who are putting together business plans…. how many people want to write a biz plan ….geeze ….

So how do I fit into this? …..

I am going to be a judge for this. Yeah …that is right me a judge…. I am not sure what to expect ….having been to see the local version of competition …wow ….i have no idea who won …but there were some great ideas. Great ideas with legs to grow…..

I am looking forward to checking out these ideas. I will keep you posted.

cheers
