By Richard F.
Gerson
Published: April / May 2008
Every year, for the next 20 years or so, we will see a
tremendous exodus of baby boomers from the workplace.
The boomers will be retiring (due to age), taking early
retirement (due to a variety of reasons) or voluntarily
retiring (to pursue something else). In any case, an
inordinate amount of business knowledge will walk out
the door when the boomers leave the workplace.
Entrepreneurship
Planning Beyond Your Business Plan
By Dr. Michel W.
Fountain
Published: April / May 2008
The biggest mistake that entrepreneurs make in choosing
a new business opportunity is not the most obvious. Most
aspiring entrepreneurs are focused on making money when
they should be focused on making peoples’ lives better.
First time entrepreneurs readily identify the lack of
adequate investment and working capital, the lack of a
skilled, trained workforce and the difficulty in
attaining market traction and market share as major
pitfalls to avoid when creating and growing successful,
thriving entrepreneurial ventures.
