Disrupting The Recession
The yin of entrepreneurism is a steady dose of optimism. Without it, we’d just take a 40-hour a week executive gig and slowly rot our brains.
This optimism is going to be in full force this week at the Angel Capital Summit. As I wrote in my Colorado Biz column on angel investing this month,
Some businesses are responding [to the credit crisis] by getting small, reducing risk, laying off staff and hoarding cash. Others are anticipating a better future and ignoring today’s awful financial news in favor of the promise of tomorrow. Technophiles are promising productivity gains from new tools while “free-range” thinkers have gone completely off the reservation, and are designing new currency systems.
So it’s character-building time. A real entrepreneur has the courage and the drive to leap across the proverbial chasm and create a new fortune. The shifts are happening to allow once-in-a-lifetime wealth creation as the old system dies and a new one is born.
Join us in Denver on Friday to learn how and where the money will flow, which businesses will thrive, and how to spot the previously unseen differentiating factors, a process we are calling evolutionary risk management.
It’s time to choose wheter you are going down with the economic Titanic or hop on a lifeboat and start rowing.
