We’d like to thank Patrick for inviting us to speak at his Entrepreneur & Small Business Academy June Meetup next week (Monday, June 1st, 5:30 PM). As of today there are 39 spots left, so you can still rsvp if you’re in the area and want to learn about Social Capital (specifically, how to conduct a power lunch). We’ll present our ideas and take your questions as we go. Here’s a bit taken from the Meetup page:
June Topic: Building Social Capital
Whether you like it or not, as an entrepreneur, your success depends a great deal on how other people perceive you. From investors to clients to those who are simply browsing, the more positively they view your personally, the more positively they will view your work.
All endeavors require 3 types of capital in varying proportions. They are financial, intellectual and social. Most business people focus on the first two and never bother to develop the third, believing it to be a natural or intrinsic ability. This misunderstanding is why many entrepreneurs with great ideas never get off the ground.
All things being equal, people do business with people they like. Rare is the case where one proposal is far and away better than any other. When a person has to make a choice, he is undeniably swayed by his personal feelings. Learn how to tilt the scale in your favor!
You can reserve your spot here.
Looking forward to it!
