We were excited to welcome guest speakers from Midland States Bank to speak with our students. They joined us to talk about building their business plans. Midland States Bank is not only an investor in our program but also has employees serving on our board and as mentors. Their involvement and support in our program is very much appreciated.

Some key takeaways from our students include

💡 A business plan is crucial if you are trying to get a loan or investors for your business
🎯 You need to visualize yourself in three years and set goals
🗣️ Be confident in talking about your business and be sure to sell it
