GEW Utah Entrepreneur Conference
I attended the GEW Utah Entreprenerial Conference today, since this week is Global Entrepreneur week. I was very glad I attended and came away with some very helpful points.
I was most impressed, however, with the organizers of the event. Greg Warnock, Alan Hall, Craig Bott and others are truly “giving back” to their communities. They have been very successful financially and are at a stage in their lives where their contribution is truly selfless.
It is people like this that change communities. That create an intangible spirit of success for the people around them. Without men like this to give back our communities would fall back again, reinventing ideals, with each generation.
Here are some of the kernals I recieved from the conference. They are just notes and deserve more attention in a later post…
- Funding: Will this transaction help the company in both the short and long run? Do I want to do business with these types of people (specific investors you are dealing with)? Will they add more value then money? (Do your due diligence on them). Is the transaction fair for both sides?
- Funding: Trade points in bulk and not one at a time. You win by making your business grow, not by negotiating a point
- The biggest enemy of success is complacency
It was great to see some of the friends I’ve made in the entrepreneural community again - and to meet others. I’m looking forward to attending again next year.
