Yes... about the Reno Entrepreneurs Club...
 |
I have been back in Silicon Valley for a while and haven't had time to commit to the Reno Entrepreneurs Club (REC). When I return to Reno, I will start it up again because it was a blast! |
I would transfer the Club to Silicon Valley (and rename it), but last I heard, Silicon Valley has plenty of clubs!
Meanwhile, please visit our site and download some Free Stuff.
Best Regards,
COME! VISIT OUR RENO ENTREPRENEURS CLUB!
"Most people are not entrepreneurs, but technicians suffering from an entrepreneurial seizure. They're so busy working IN their business, they don't take the time to work ON their business." -- Michael Gerber

PURPOSES AND GOALS
(Draft effective Saturday, May 8, 2004)
The best way to succeed as an entrepreneur in uncertain economic times is to try harder and work smarter.
Maneuvering around the pitfalls of a skittish economy requires some tough business decisions and a strong entrepreneurial skill set, including marketing, doing more with less, improving productivity, collecting timely receivables, and avoiding "drag and lag" decision-making.
An entrepreneur is a person who organizes, operates, and assumes the risk for a business venture. (I would add that most employees organize, operate, and assume risks, too.) For a more complete definition, see What is an Entrepreneur?
