Business Writing for Entrepreneurs

What is the role of writing and persuasion for an entrepreneur? How does that relate to what you hope to get from the course?

Persuasion is key when trying to lure investors and supporters to follow your ideas.

 So, my name is Kirk Ingle and I'm a junior here at Purdue studying Business Management and Finance. Along with that, I plan on receiving my Entrepreneurship and Innovation Certificate so that someday later in my life I can start a nonprofit organization. When I'm not studying I like to relax, go out, watch movies, play soccer (or any sport), play guitar, and whatever that keeps my busy.
