Edge Networking is a pretty dynamic networking group for Montreal-based entrepreneurs. On October 6th, I’ll be their guest speaker, talking about “The Entrepreneurial Trap” and what to do about it.

The numbers are pretty alarming: only 50% of startups survive their first 5 years of operations. The truth is that most business owners don’t succeed and it’s not because they’re not working hard. Rather, they are doing the wrong kind of work. This “trap” threatens the well being of the majority of entrepreneurs.

In this presentation, I’ll cover:

  • The 3 roles of the entrepreneur and how every business owner must perform these roles in order to succeed;
  • The flawed business structure that most entrepreneurs embrace and how it ultimately fails them;
  • The underlying reason why people fall into the Entrepreneurial Trap and how to overcome it.

The event will take place at Newtown, on the corner of Crescent and de Maisonneuve, at 6:00pm. Come say hello and enjoy some great networking!
