Entrepreneurship class welcomed two guest speakers this week.
Denny Danylchak from the South Metro Micro Enterprise Coalition, Inc and Mr. Daa'ood Amin from Amin Sheet Metal

Mr. Amin spoke on Monday and Mr. Danylchak on Tuesday to the Entrepreneurship students.

Both gentlemen spoke on the importance and excitement of owning your own business.

Topics that were covered were how to finance a new business, what it takes to become an entrepreneur and how they both got started in the business that they are currently involved.

They took questions from the students and encouraged them to stay in school, work hard and if they truly want to own their own business to "go for it".
