(AANEWSWIRE)CHICAGO, IL. -11/21/2005- Seasoned and start-up entrepreneurs who are looking to gain a business edge are meeting to share innovative business techniques at the Idea Exchange Business Seminar series Tuesday, December 6, 2005 in New York and Thursday, December 8, 2005 in Chicago. Under the leadership of celebrated entrepreneur and Small Business Camp founder, Andrew Morrison, the events are designed to connect entrepreneurs with networking opportunities, best practices concepts, consultation and training. Both events are from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. The New York Idea Exchange seminar is located at the Fashion Institute of Technology on 7th Avenue at 27th Street. The Chicago Idea Exchange seminar is located at the University Center, located 525 South State Street. Morrison has reached out to local Chicago and New York community organizations, churches and business networks in hopes they will take advantage of this valuable information exchange.

The Idea Exchange will be led by its founder and coach Andrew Morrison, who knows what it takes for business success. He previously established a multi-million dollar company by providing innovative direct marketing services to Fortune 500 companies. He was featured in the Wall Street Journal, Entrepreneur Magazine, Crain's Magazine 40 under 40 and Advertising Age. He also appeared as a "Young Millionaire" on the Oprah Winfrey Show.

The Idea Exchange Business Seminar is a "scaled down" spin-off event of Morrison's successful Small Business Camp series. The Small Business Camp is an intensive 2-day business training and marketing "boot camp" service for entrepreneurs. The program primarily targets new and established minority entrepreneurs looking to jumpstart their business or established business owners who want to refine their skills and increase profits. "African-Americans and Hispanic-Americans are starting companies at twice the rate of the general public. Corporate downsizing, globalization and disappointment with the glass ceiling have fueled this trend toward entrepreneurship. With this renewed interest, my goal is to equip them with the knowledge needed to help them make the transition toward business ownership," says Morrison.

The camp initially launched in the New York and Philadelphia market and quickly received glowing reviews. "If you are ready to start your own business, you need to contact Mr. Morrison, ASAP. Andrew's program is not for the faint of heart. He speaks the truth about the possibilities of your business idea in clear, no nonsense terms. Name your business idea, and if there is a market for it, he'll start you on the path with the essential tools necessary for tremendous personal and financial success. Then, the rest is up to you," says New York previous participant Stephanie Yvette Cole.

Riding the momentum of success from New York and Philadelphia, Morrison decided to expand his program to the Chicago market. Attendees of the Idea Exchange will be able to receive key business insights at no cost. Morrison will tackle topics such as doubling sales in 90 days, brand development, team building, attracting investors, media exposure, staying focused on your goals and getting unstuck from an emotional rut.

"I hate to think of entrepreneurs wasting another year of their lives trying to 'crack the code' in business - only to discover their plan was flawed from the beginning," said Morrison. He continues, "I am excited about broadening Idea Exchange to other markets and providing a new audience with a supportive environment of "like-minded" business owners who hold each other accountable to their dreams."
