Another Great EO Event!

Afraid the economy will impact your business? Nervous about a disaster? Having problems with your personal life? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then you should have been at the EO (Entrepreneurs Organization) seminar given by motivational speaker, Mark Moses at the Scholastic Building in SOHO last week.

Mark’s presentation was terrific! He spoke with a group of nearly 200 entrepreneurs from EONYC, EO Canada and Inc Magazine subscribers. The best part of his presentation was 25 tips on leading in turbulent times. I was so impressed, I wanted to share this with you….

3. Cut early and cut deep.
