Yoga Instructor Starts Studio
Having studied yoga extensively, Courtney Griffin of Jonesboro decided to open her own studio. She knew exactly how she wanted it to look and operate but needed a plan to get there.
Griffin met with Laura Miller of the ASBTDC at Arkansas State University to discuss her ideas.
Miller provided information and support throughout the startup process. Market research about the industry and local market helped guide Griffin and validate her decision to move forward.
She also took advantage of events offered by the center, including “Start Your Small Business Now.”
