SBDC Webinar to Teach Part

Many people with part-time business ideas have probably wondered if they could turn their ideas into lucrative side businesses.

A Wyoming Small Business Development Center (SBDC) business webinar, titled “Turn Your Part-Time Business into a Lucrative Side Hustle,” is scheduled online Thursday, June 14, from 2-3 p.m. Attendees can learn how “side-hustle entrepreneurship” works. Designer Bria Hammock has spent the last two years turning her graphic design sketches into a successful clothing brand called Go Slo Wyo.

The SBDC is a partnership among the University of Wyoming, the Wyoming Business Council and the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). The SBDC focuses on educating small-business owners and potential owners on how to successfully start and operate small businesses. The SBDC’s main office is located at UW.

Hammock founded Go Slo Wyo, a premium apparel and accessories brand that celebrates her love of the outdoors and everything unique about Wyoming. She also works full time as a senior graphic designer with West Edge Collective in Cheyenne. During the webinar, Hammock will discuss how she found a niche for her brand; how she was able to get her marketing noticed; and provide a behind-the-scenes look at how she manages a full-time job, family and her side hustle.

This webinar is $15, and attendees must register at www.wyomingsbdc.org to obtain the link. The program will be recorded and available to registered attendees who are unable to attend.
