Calling All Entrepreneurs!
Take a Course: To own a Theatre, Event Venue or Restaurant
"Those that have never failed have never taken a risk. It's how you come back from failure that will determine how successful you become."
- Mark Stern, Founder, Big Picture
Failure is not fun... but neither is never trying to turn your dream into a reality. Mark has spent the last 30 years taking risks - from his early days running a
gutter cleaning service, to popcorn pushcart operator, nightclub promoter, rock band manager and movie theatre owner. He understands first -hand the sting of failure and the thrilling
satisfaction of success. Twelve years ago, he and his wife Katie, turned a dreary Belltown basement into Big Picture, the first digital theatre in the country, and
created an original entertainment concept that has hosted functions for many of the world's largest and most admired corporations. If you have ever thought about
striking out on your own in a brick and mortar business and would like to avoid the common pitfalls that many entrepreneurs encounter, please join Mark Stern for an
engaging discussion; he'll share tales of his experiences and provide invaluable information for anyone looking to start or expand a business.
Topics to be touched-on include: it all starts with a concept, you will learn the four main ingredients for success, are you ready to spend some money?, learn the costs
involved in opening, funding (begging is always last), the secrets of lease negotiations (what to ask for and how to protect yourself if things go bad), tenant improvements
(how to negotiate money from your landlord), marketing and advertising and hiring employees because sometimes finding the right employee is harder than paying the rent.
