Mapping the Entrepreneurial Road Ahead - the Anatomy of a Typical Entrepreneur's Journey Forward

Event description

Webinar Learning Objective

Entrepreneurs often ask advisers for a “road map” to see what the entire business journey looks like— what are the steps from startup, through venture and growth, to scaling and possible exit or sale - and brief descriptions of each step.

Entrepreneurs, business owners, founders and CEOs and their teams, sometimes want to understand the complete path forward, and how long might it take to be successful?

Please consider joining Mason Small Business Development Center’s Senior Business Adviser, Adjunct GMU Professor and GMU Mentor in Residence, George Siragusa, “Coach S”, who answers these questions in a brand new, no-cost webinar.

Grounded in Lean Startup principles, George developed this unique, holistic and topside “entrepreneurial roadmap” view, from insights— insights he compiled from over 250 plus 1:1 business counseling sessions with CEOs, Owners and Founders over the past 6 years.

Q: Why is this birds-eye view of 4 major phases and the 24 individual steps typical in the entrepreneurial journey relevant and what might you learn?:

• see a “holistic view” of a roadmap summarizing a “typical” path forward
• assess the investment of your time and $$$S, earlier vs. later in the process
• gain insights into competencies, skills that may be needed for each step
• understand which steps may unfold in parallel versus in series flow
• how to find and seek out mentors and learn about helpful resources

Q: What are some of the benefits of a discussion related to this unique entrepreneurial roadmap perspective?:

• identify pitfalls, highlight lessons learned from perspective, experiences
• shorten your potential path forward by better understanding the process
• gain insights that may help stretch and save precious owners investment
• make better informed and actionable decisions
• identify valuable resources to aid you in executing the steps forward

When you register for this NO-COST webinar you will get a pdf file to download of the 1 page “roadmap” itself— a visual graphic representation of the 24 action steps included in the “Anatomy of a Typical Business Entrepreneurial Journey”!

Registered participants will also hear “Coach S.” highlight a Bonus Section that speaks to 8 Lessons Learned drawn directly from “stories”” fresh from the “entrepreneurial road”.

Again, please consider registering for this unique NO-COST webinar to see and hear more about the typical Entrepreneurial Journey through the lens of this helpful roadmap to guide you and your startup or business venture on your path forward.
