Bros learn some business tips

Brian and I have been going to some business seminars at the Rhode Island School of Design, and getting some pretty good information which we will soon be implementing into Originalbros.com. Our first seminar was on RI based businesses, and creatively driven businesses. Hearing about the steps several business owners took and the challenges they faced, along with their advice was very reassuring to us and gave us another kick in the ass to get this company up and running. We learned about the importance of follow ups with our business contacts, tricks to keep the relationships flourishing and steps we need to take to move forward.

Last night's seminar was about business plans and really nailing down what our company is all about, we learned about great local resources we can use to get the info we really need. We also had the chance to speak with two lovely young women who were finalists in last year's business plan competition. We exchanged contacts and hope to be able to provide them with some great resources we found that for us were difficult to find. Hopefully we can be of help to them.

In the next few months I expect that the bros will be re-evaluating everything to this point and laying out a strategy for ourselves and how we want to be seen and what we want to look like.
