In this day and age, how does anyone start their own business without money?

Mar 11, 2009 by Odin | Posted in Small Business

I'm not talking about the difficulties of working on a new idea and turning that into a profitable business, I'm talking about the initial steps for small timers like the most of us.

Seriously, Unless you have an insane amount of money

Start slow. With this economy, you should be thankful you have a job/career. Take care of your family but start slow; save up what you can, think of an idea. what do you want to get into? once you figure it out, do as much research as possible. WRITTEN

Indie game studios get schooled in entrepreneurship

21.05.12

, Independent game studios in Canada are making critically acclaimed titles, but there’s more to running a successful business in this industry than just great development teams.

Toronto-based Ryerson University’s Chang School for Continuing Education , in partnership with Interactive Ontario (IO) , recently launched Education for Digital Games Entrepreneurs (EDGE) , intended to teach game developers the skills required to run a company.

The program offers six courses in the fields of entrepreneurial finance, human resource management, intellectual property law, marketing, project management and leadership, and entrepreneurial behaviour — “all pertaining specifically to gaming.”

“While it may be a generic language, such as HR,” explains Dr. Gervan Fearon, dean of the Chang School, “it really has been honed and made specific to the sector.”

Jim Laird, the former chief financial officer of Toronto studio Bedlam Games Inc., for example, is teaching the course on entrepreneurial finance, while Susan Abramovitch of law firm Gowlings is lecturing on intellectual property law.
