Riverside Startup Week 2017

Most entrepreneurs are in business to be successful and often times they want it overnight. The reality is that achieving traditional success is incredibly hard and the real scary part is what to do when it happens. Come learn from the leader of a company who after forty years had their second bout with “overnight success” as their sales grew well over 200% in a short period of time. The story will include an understanding of how a company who maintained stable sales numbers for nearly 4 decades reinvented themselves. It will touch on everything from marketing, to global expansion, and will also include the challenges they faced with rapid growth and how they overcame them. 

Topics include: 
Stepping out of the comfort zone and overcoming fear
The importance of branding and marketing and how to be creative on a budget
Setting your business up right in the first place so that you don’t have to redo it (including   lessons learned when you don’t)

Growing the talent in your organization and how to get funding to pay for it
Developing yourself as an effective leader
Reaching the global market (you know the one that holds 95% of the money)

What will set your company apart from the competition 

This one-hour session will touch on each of these topics in a fun and energetic way and you are guaranteed to walk away with practices you can immediately implement into your vision.
