Another great night at the E-ship CLub.
Dan Stuenzi, a home school dad, entrepreneur for many years, gave a great presentation on what it is like to be an entrepreneurs.
SOme highlights from his talk:
Things learned from past business ventures:
~needs a profit
~not fear rejection
~how to properly target customers
~under-promise/over-deliver
~the importance of capital
~importance of networking and reputation
~how to "fail forward"
~providing VALUE comes before reward
WHat struck a chord with me was:
"It's hard for entrepreneurs to work for someone else!"
That is so true for me.
One summer I taught summer classes and I was shocked the administrator was keeping their eye on me.
WHy?
Of course I am going to be doing what is right, I am a professional, aren't I?
I will make good decisions, work hard, etc.
Good stuff to recognize...
Next month we have Frank Kumor as our guest speaker.
HE is a long-time business owner from Olde Towne Bellevue and will speak on customer service and longevity of business.
