Being an entrepreneur isn’t a job. It’s a lifestyle built around one’s businesses.

Beyond the nuts and bolts of starting, growing, and running a business, it’s important to first build a foundation to ensure a meaningful entrepreneurial career. This means that budding entrepreneurs must assess their capacity for persistence, lifelong learning, entrepreneurial drive, and passion for pursing business opportunities.

Also added to those is the quality of their partnerships, because in business as in life, they are vitally important.  

Seasoned entrepreneur Bob Schlegel speaks from more than four decades of experience to instruct a new generation of aspiring business leaders on what factors to consider before they make their first sale or seal their first deal. His five foundational pillars will determine not only the level of success, but also the quality of life they can achieve. 

Discover:

  • What five foundational pillars are needed for a successful life as an entrepreneur
  • Why it’s important in the beginning to define your values and principles as a business leader
  • How to determine whether to buy or build your first business
