Allow a few students to share some of the problems they may have encountered in the past as they worked with friends or family. List the problems on the board. Then have the students get into small groups and assign each group a problem from the list. Give the students five minutes to come up with a solution to the problems. Ask your students to consider the following quote by Kemmon Wilson, founder of Holiday Inn.
Opportunity comes often.
It knocks as often as you have an ear trained to hear it, an eye trained to see it, a hand trained to grasp it, and a head trained to use it. List some of the benefits of entrepreneurship training discussed in this article. Direct students attention to Resources for Young Entrepreneurs , which lists the organizations mentioned in this magazine that offer entrepreneurship training. Have the class divide into groups and research training programs available in their communities. Start a bulletin board to post notices about dates and locations of training events.
