pant in Baker City.
• “Writing my business
plan was my biggest chal-
lenge because I couldn’t
organize all my thoughts and
information into a neat for-
mat. This class broke that
process down and helped me
understand what each piece
really meant.” — Participant
in La Grande.

valuable class. I learned so
much and enjoyed everyone
in there. Wouldn’t change
a thing.” — Participant in
Richland.
• “You really hit on all the
good things we need to think

Here’s what former class
participants have to say about
Business Foundations:
• “This class was just what
I needed to start moving for-
ward with my business. Hav-
ing the steps laid out in front
of me has really helped moti-
vate me to start taking the
steps needed to launch my
business. I now feel I have
the tools to start making my
business dreams a reality.”
— Participant in Enterprise
• “Learning how to do the
cost of goods sold, break-
even point, variable cost and
cash fl ow was extremely
helpful to me. I had no idea
what I was doing, and fi g-
uring out that my business
model wasn’t working and
would have led to it’s fail-
ure was huge. Now I’ve got a
court for Wallowa scored.
Isaac Barnum scored
eight points for the Cou-
