eWN Conference 2013 Takeaways – Part 3

 

I am attending the eWomenNetwork International Conference and Business Expo and wanted to share some of the takeaways I have gathered over the last few days. I hope by reading some things I have learned it will help you, my readers, gain some insight to possible struggles you might face whether personally OR professionally. If you know family, friends or co-workers who could benefit from any of the takeaways I share, please pay them forward!

Take-Away from Marc Ostrofsky (Author of “Get Rich Click” & “Word of Mouse”)

Marc’s advice was short & to the point. For a business to be “Shark Tank-able” it must be able to operate without us as owners/entrepreneurs; must be scalable; must be saleable. We need to take ourselves & emotions out of our business planning and create a foundation that goes beyond “us”.

My take: It’s a tough thing to do when we’re so close to our own “stuff”. When we need to get of our own heads – our own stuff – to create a sustainable and solid business beyond us, we need trust partners and advisory boards who will help us strategize our ideas into operational plans. That’s how I help entrepreneurs get out of their heads and into action.
