³School-based enterprises are effective
educational tools in helping to prepare students for
the transition from school to work or college. For
many students, they provide the first work
experience; for others, they provide an opportunity
to build management, supervision and leadership
skills.´

ð 0ccording to the Small Business 0dministration, all
growth in private sector employment and output is
attributable to small businesses.
ð Small businesses are responsible for over half of all
goods and services produced by our economy.
ð Over 600,000 small businesses (with 20 or fewer
employees) are started each year.
ð The success of our economy is dependent upon the
success of small business.
ð There has never been a more urgent need for
entrepreneurial education in 0rkansas¶s schools.
i
ð The SBE project offers students an opportunity to
engage in authentic learning.
i
ð The SBE concept provides students with practical
experience in managing and operating a small
business.
ð The concept allows students an opportunity to take
risks in an environment where the emphasis will be
on learning.
ð The concept allows students to take ownership of a
small business and experience many of the same
challenges that real entrepreneurs face.
ð Students will be more likely to view small business
ownership as a viable career path.

ð Coffee is bad for you. Wrong. There is no relationship
between the moderate consumption of coffee and ill
health.
ð Today, more money is spent on the international trade of
coffee than on any other commodity except oil.
ð 0ccording to a 2005 Marvard University study of
155,000 nurses, those who drank the most coffee
seemed to develop a protection against high blood
pressure.
ð The most important factor that will determine the
success or failure of a coffee shop is the ³environment.´
