What the Six Types of Entrepreneurs Think and Do Nearly All the Time to be Successful
Presented by: Bill Ringle, Executive Director, LearnWell Center for Business Innovation
Thursday October 27, 2005, 6pm-7:30pm
2020 MacAlister Hall
Based on research, interviews, and consulting work with over 300 entrepreneurs, it is both easy for us to determine which type of entrepreneur you are and vital to your success to understand and act on the implications of this model.

For instance, if you're a creative entrepreneur, you'd rather do your craft -- whether it's writing, graphic design, architecture, or something else -- than solve an HR problem. If you've realized from a co-op cycle that you're a corporate refugee entrepreneur, the idea of bookkeeping might make your skin crawl. Ignoring, denying, and delaying little problems doesn't make them go away; it just gives little problems time to get bigger and more dangerous.

In this seminar, you'll learn how to recognize your strengths, identify your business needs, and move forward more effectively — even if you're running a business part time while you're still in school.
