Less than 10% get acquired as an Exit Strategy Entrepreneurs often fall into the trap of “building a better mousetrap”. The truth is there are plenty of people improving the mousetrap. There isn't a market in the world that doesn't have competition, or if it does not exist now, it will very soon. Markets and niches are not enough to ensure your success. Attend this workshop to discuss the other areas where organizations compete and factors that will determine your financial success or failure. Learn about the “Pyramid of Organizational Development”, its implications for entrepreneurs and how the Pyramid supports the 7 Stages of Organizational Growth.
