Entrepreneur Bootcamp

The Time is Now! LAUNCH YOUR SIDE HUSTLEEntrepreneurs are heros! Small business start-ups have emerged as one of the most effective and satisfying investment categories for generating wealth but entrepreneurs are champions of the Canadian economy. For example:9/10 Canadians in the private sector work for a small- to medium-sized business.Micro-enterprises (firms with 1 to 4 employees) represent 53.8% of all private employers.Entrepreneurship can provide financial freedom, personal challenge and become a great way to serve our planet , our people and be profitable. Because of the positive impact on our local, regional, provincial, national economy means that our governments, investment firms and banks are taking notice and lining up to support the small business start ups.But there is also a darkside. It can be lonely and isolating; and much of the workload and energy can be front-end loaded and become all consuming. Much like launching a rocket into orbit the amount of stored energy required for breaking free of earth’s gravity can be very significant; but when well launched the rocket can settle into its orbit with very little effort. However, similar to a rocket there is a lot of learning required and a lot of system checks to perform in order to produce a successful small business launch. Without deliberate preparation the consequences can be graphic. But who has the time when you’re trying to start a small business?Staples [STUDIO] is here to help those entrepreneurial heroes (and champions of small business) launch their rocket.
