How to Make the Jump from Employee to Entrepreneur

This event has been Canceled.

After you’ve been employed for a few years, you probably have job security, a regular income, benefits, and a bright future. Even so, you spend time developing or dreaming of new innovations but you are just not ready to take the leap and start your own business. Jumping from employee to entrepreneur may be a leap of faith, but it’s faith in your ability to achieve business success. Becoming an entrepreneur is not something mythical; it is a massive change in lifestyle. It is also much different than working for a company, and can be more demanding. The transition between the employee and entrepreneur worlds typically takes time, knowledge and careful planning, and confidence that you can do the job as an independent business owner. Hear from our panelists how they had the faith to make the jump.
