“Minority-owned Business: Essentials for Success,” was the latest edition of the virtual Florida State College at Jacksonville Business Speaker Series presented by First Florida Credit Union.
Moderated by FSCJ professor of logistics and distribution Johnny Bowman Jr., the Dec. 9 panel comprised three entrepreneurs and Carlton Robinson, chief innovation officer at JAX Chamber’s JAXUSA Partnership economic development division.
Robinson said one of the keys to success is to approach establishing and building a small business without focusing on being a member of a minority group.
“You can’t build your business to be a minority business. Resources are available, but be a business first,” he said.
