Everyone has at least one good idea for a new business. The key is knowing how to get started. In this installment of the Entrepreneurial Series, our panelists will share what they have learned - sometimes the hard way - about the first and foremost things you must do to get moving in the right direction. They will provide their insights into how you can convert a good idea into a great company. If you have ever had a good idea, you can't afford to miss this program.
