I’m thrilled to announce that Steve Butcher, the CEO of Brown Paper Tickets, is hosting a series of educational workshops about how small, startup businesses can succeed using his “not-just-for-profit” business model. Here’s the full description of the first event, which will happen on three different dates next week. There will be a a total of six different workshops in coming weeks, which you can find in the Biznik events calendar. Here’s the description of the first event: Not-Just-For-Profit Series Workshop I: The Mission.

This workshop is the first step in walking away with the business plan you’ve always wanted. Learn how to bootstrap your business, never worry about your competition again, spot the difference between ethical and moral dilemmas, become a citizen of your community, measure and shrink your environmental footprint, and make the hell sure you’re in the right business.

Business/Project size, category, industry, legal form do not matter.

Bring your mission statements and manifestos - or at least notes related to it.
