Small Business Breakfast: Young Entrepreneurs

http://cptv.vo.llnwd.net/o2/ypmwebcontent/Catie/Where%20We%20Live%2011-16-2011.mp3

We keep hearing that the job prospects for young workers aren't very good. So, what if they start their own businesses? 

Today, we're live from the Oakdale Theaterin Wallingford for the last Small Business Breakfast of the year. It's taking place as part of theGreater New Haven Chamber of Commerce Business Expo.

We're going to focus today on young entrepreneurs. Young people making a go of it in a tough economy by starting things up themselves - in the tech sector, or in the rough world of retail.

We'll hear from successful entrepreneurs who can give them tips and hints - and hopefully we'll get ideas from small business people of all ages and experience levels to sharer their stories about getting kick-started in a recession.
