BNC Entrepreneur Event: Making the Transition from Start up to Running a Business
There are five phases of entrepreneurship - idea, start up, running, exit and transition. This presentation provides an in-depth look at how entrepreneurs migrate their skill set as the business transitions from start up mode to a fully viable and running business. We’ll explore the core components of the start up phase and the entrepreneur’s role in managing them. Likewise, we’ll also discuss the core components of the running phase and where entrepreneurs should center their focus and efforts at this stage.
Successful entrepreneur Jeffrey Weber shares lessons learned from his own experience as a business owner as well as extensive academic research into the entrepreneurial process. They say taking action to start a business is the hardest part, but day-to-day management as business grows can be equally daunting. This session will give you the confidence, knowledge and insight to apply towards your own business and achieve the results you desire.
Presenter:
Jeffrey Weber earned his MBA from Loyola University Chicago’s School of Business Administration and entered the technology industry during the start of the dot com era. The company he founded grew rapidly, earning a rank on INC magazine’s “Top 500 Fastest Growing Private US Companies” list in 2001 and 2002. He successfully positioned and sold that company to a Fortune 100 in 2006.
Weber incorporates his entrepreneurial knowledge and proprietary methodologies into his book, “I.D.E.A. to Exit: An Entrepreneurial Journey, How to go from Basement to Big Time”. Beside his roles as an adjunct faculty teaching entrepreneurism at the college level and a well-known speaker, Weber is also a coach for start-ups, existing small/medium size businesses and corporations wishing to innovate and establish an entrepreneurial spirit. Weber serves on the advisory board for Minorities in Technology Sales (MiTS) and Argo Translations. He enjoys volunteering for Future Founders and The National Foundation for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE) and helps urban high school youth explore entrepreneurism as a career path.
Staying active in entrepreneurial circles and networks, Weber is always looking to start or get involved with something new and exciting. For more information about Jeff Weber Ventures see http://jeffweberventures.com.
