January 1, 1970 by Isabella

10-ways-to-celebrate-entrepreneurship-in-arkansas-this-month November is National Entrepreneurship Month, and there are gobs of events (a bonafide bevy) that honor entrepreneurs and innovators, right here in Arkansas. Global Entrepreneurship Week hosts quite a few, and that runs November 17-23. But the celebration of entrepreneurship can’t be contained in just a week. Here are 10 more opportunities to inspire and aspire this month. 1. Women Founders This group is open to anyone, especially women and girls interested in discussing issues for women in entrepreneurship and leadership. We want to encourage more women to create startups and take a leadership role in the tech/entrepreneurial community. 2. 1 Million Cups Little Rock Each week, the 1 Million Cups program offers two local entrepreneurs an opportunity to present their startups to a diverse audience of mentors, advisors, and entrepreneurs. Presenters prepare a 6 minute educational presentation and engage in 20 minutes of feedback and questioning after they present. Entrepreneurs gain insight into possible ways they can improve their businesses, gather realtime feedback, connect with a community that truly cares about their progress, and walk away feeling like they have advanced their business. The audience also learns a great deal from the presentations. Whether this is through passively listening or deeply engaging with the entrepreneurs, there is much to learn every week from these dynamic and diverse communities. The event is free. Coffee is included. 3. Starting a Business in Arkansas This seminar prepares participants for the intensive business planning process, identifies major steps crucial to starting a business, discusses key issues that affect your business success, start-up requirements and common pitfalls you will face as an entrepreneur. 4.

That’s for another post though. What I want to talk about today is decreasing your website’s bounce rate. Don’t know what a bounce rate is?
