Phase 2: cards chosen

Group 3

Cards chosen

Story

People have skills that can be capitalized upon. We hold demonstrations at fairs, summer sales, to start showing potential and familiarizing people with possibilities. Early adopters provide leadership for defining initial opportunities to pursue, what training to offer and when, and how to engage the people.

Next steps: pilot online business.
