Its really true that opportunity comes through people. Your next big idea, partnership or funding source can come through the connections you make at BEN.

Economic value of a community is closely tied to how people interact with it. When people know you have money, they treat you differently.

Ignorance is not an excuse when you are in business for yourself, learn all you can and seek help from other business people.
