Join the Seattle Metro Chamber for a conversation with Jaebadiah Gardner, author of
Believe in Yourself: Business Essentials for the Millennial Entrepreneur. He will share his story and introduce his book, which explores the pain, anguish and trauma that’s involved with building a business during one of the most depressed economic times in American history.
Gardner's book also serves as a tool kit of essentials for budding and existing entrepreneurs.
Readers who do not have the luxury of readily available resources to kick start their dreams will get a personal perspective on what it takes to start and maintain a business in this modern era with scant resources.
