Google "Masters of Entrepreneurship" and I think you will find it. If not let me know if you would be interested in speaking to him.

I was considering going for an MBA in entrepreneurship, unfortunately im stuck in georgia for undergrad because of the hope scholarship. But, in a few years if I do decide to go after an MBA, ill be sure to check out WCU.

I admire your goials and wish that I had not waited this long to realize that $$$ is not the be all to end all! I now do live in the mountains of western North Carolina where will launch our new Social Enterprise model for dome kit manufacturing and also a small eco-village. I started the new Barter Network because I wanted to grown something VERY large without worrying about how much $ it brings in!

Viral Marketting and online market are the cheapest and easiest things to do. I think most folks who make a product should concentrate efforts on Viral Marketting, some of which is free...get your camcorder and be creative.

I remember that one guy who is doing quite well with his line of Power Blenders because it got famous for him putting things like Ipods, Cameras and a mass of other crazy things in the blender and then grinding them up.

It was entertaining and showed the power of online marketting.

If they don't teach you that in school then why bother.
