Camden, NJ- Through Zoom, LAEDA held an event called Turning Your Hobby Into a Business where graduates from LAEDA’s nine-week Entrepreneurial Development Training Program and Women's Business Academy came together along with other participants to not only network and share their business experiences, but also to learn about Product/Service Development and the Production Process. LAEDA’s Turning Your Hobby Into a Business series consists of 6 seminars to gain the most benefit and to help entrepreneurs and or small business owners navigate the swerves and curves of the journey and transitioning from designing & creating for friends and family to producing for customers beyond their inner circle.
