30 Tips to Succeed in IBC at BYUI! - #15
IBC (Integral Business Core) at BYU Idaho is a marvelous opportunity for students to get a taste for what starting a business is like. I personally learned tons from doing it back inSpring 2018) with my company, Outdoorish. This episode was recorded back in Fall 2019, so all of the students that were in IBC when this was recorded have finished it now. I hope it helps you out and gives you some ideas.
I'm always open to DM's on Facebook and Instagram. I'm sure many of these people who gave me these tips would be glad to help you too! :)
