BEDC Corner with Greg Maybury | |
This month we feature Greg Maybury, BEDC Board Member.
What advice would you give to someone who is trying to become an entrepreneur? Do your due diligence and come up with what you believe is a foolproof plan. Where possible, you can then run these ideas by trusted advisors and you should be genuinely open to their feedback.
