AMARILLO, Texas – Aspiring entrepreneurs wanting to build business success have a new Blueprint to follow, thanks to the WT Enterprise Center and America’s SBDC at WTAMU.

The units of WT’s Paul and Virginia Engler College of Business are launching Blueprint, a program focused on finding new successful ways to build start-up businesses.

“Participants of the Blueprint program will leave with a clear vision of what their business could possibly look like and what obstacles may present along the way,” said Brian Enevoldsen, managing director of the WT Enterprise Center. “Many aspiring business owners wonder where to start, and Blueprint is a great first step.”

This free monthly program will take place from 4 to 5 p.m. on the first Monday of every month beginning June 6 at the WT Enterprise Center, 2300 N. Western St. in Amarillo.

“The Blueprint program will provide a great space for aspiring entrepreneurs to pursue their business ideas,” said Michelle Howington, program manager/coach of the WT Enterprise Center. “The program creates a structured and collaborative process for entrepreneurs to establish the key points in bringing their ideas to light and significantly improving their chances of success.”

Programs will be led by both WT Enterprise Center coaches and SBDC consultants, who will lay out the technical components in business creation while also focusing on the entrepreneurial journey being embarked upon.

“We recognize the importance of a solid business model in launching and growing a successful business,” said Gina Woodward, regional director of America’s SBDC at WTAMU. “This program will empower entrepreneurs to build businesses that are more original, impactful, and successful.”
