Our Values
EVERYONE has the opportunity to be an entrepreneur!
You do not need to have a doctorate to succeed in business.
Preparation, preparation, preparation
You don’t have to have all the answers, but you DO need to anticipate them!
Take calculated risks and be prepared to fail
At a certain point, put it out there, and let the market tell you where you stand
Confidence is EVERYTHING!
Confidence in business can be achieved by knowing one’s own strengths, and weaknesses, and by knowing your product and industry
Try to have a bit of fun along the way
Some may think you’re crazy for trying – and they may be right – but at least you can try to enjoy the ride.
