Entrepreneurship
Exploring Options for Increasing
Economic Self-Sufficiency
Through Micro-Enterprise Development
"Do you know where the work
'entrepreneur' comes from?
It's from a French verb 'entreprendre'
and it means to tackle, to undertake,
literally to 'do something'.
~ Jennifer Granholm, Governor of
Michigan
"Entrepreneurship plays an important role in growing our economy,"
Granholm said. "It is critical that we develop a supportive educational
environment for our young people that instills entrepreneurial thinking so
they can see themselves as innovators, producers of jobs and financial
success."

~ Jennifer Granholm, Governor of Michigan
"At a time in your life either the forces of nature or human dream-killers will attempt to take back the sparkle in your
eyes and the ambition in your gut. Fight to keep this sparkle and ambition."

"The world is filled with opportunities just waiting to be found by the energetic and intelligent person who is
seeking."

~Ryan P. Allis, entrepreneur
