Survive. That’s what the owners of startups and small businesses must do—or perhaps starve. Singlehandedly (often) and courageously (always), they embrace immense personal and financial risk to start new ventures.
Most American entrepreneurs are quite unlike the famous guys worth billions, those guys who go to space and rarely pay income taxes. Most are like Joel Houston, a small business entrepreneur who launched and operated a warehouse while sustaining a healthy marriage and raising sons. He represents the majority of American entrepreneurs, who collectively are the backbone of the American economy.
In this live webinar, Joel Houston, author of the new book Surviving a Startup, will share his often humorous in-the-trenches experiences, hardships, successes, and lessons about launching and running a small business. You’ll learn about:
· How to assess risks and overcome fears
· How do you know if your idea for a business is "good"?
· Integrating family and work
· The importance of small businesses entrepreneurs in America
· How should we define "success" in our professions?
Even if you don’t plan to start your own business, you’ll learn a lot about life and work from Joel. He’s also the author of the witty memoir titled Surviving Babies and Toddlers, which means you could learn a few things about how to survive as a parent!
