Put Your Ideas Into Action

What turns a good idea into a million dollar business — action. The Small Business Administration says approximately 50% of new businesses fail within the first five years, but the truth is most successful entrepreneurs learn from those failures and go on to try again and are successful. The key is being able to take action on your ideas. Most ideas never get off the dining room table because someone is afraid of failure. Dale Callahan, Ph.D., Director of the UAB IEM Master's Program and author of "Resumes Are Worthless," will show you how to put ideas into action so you will be a success and not a statistic.
