Will Zimmerman-Building a Business One Bin at a Time

Will Zimmerman spoke to the Midwest Entrepreneurs Tuesday March 1st. He is currently a senior at Monmouth College majoring in business with an emphasis in Entrepreneurism.

He has been building grain bins for six years and he has learned many things from his mentor, Bill Thompson. Thompson has been successful by honoring his word and through consistant preformance. Will plans to continue that philosophy and has a dream–to pay off all of his debt and build a lake house near Avon, Illinios.  As the professor that helped him develop his business plan, I have no doubt he will succeed.
