The decision to start or build your own business following a career in the corporate world can be both liberating and intimidating. Successful executives have the experience, accomplishments and instincts to plan for success but must often overcome their fear of failure as they make the transition from employee to owner.

Join us on June 15 as our panel of experienced experts will explore the issues that every successful entrepreneur must address as they build their own business.

Topics will include:
• Doing More with Less, Wearing Different Hats
• Finding the Right-priced Resources to Help Build your Business
• Developing the Narrative for Customers and Investors
• Deciding What to Do & What to Delegate
• Building your Team: Advisors & Board members

Designed as an interactive discussion, the workshop format will provide ample opportunity for our expert panel to respond to your individual questions. Learn first-hand how successful business owners (and corporate fugitives) made the transition from corporate executive to entrepreneur.
