From Intrapreneur to Entrepreneur: 12 Reasons to Make the Switch Now

Are you passionate, self-reliant, determined, and adept at problem solving? Do you apply these entrepreneurial values every day in your career—even though you’re still working for someone else? If this sounds like you, then how much longer are you going to wait before you make the inevitable decision to HIRE YOURSELF? How long until you switch from being an intrapreneur who gives 110% to an employer every day—to being an entrepreneur and committing that same 110% to your own business and your own success?

If you’re still focusing all your efforts and energies on someone else’s company when deep down you know you’ve got the makings of a successful entrepreneur, you owe it to yourself to listen to this Master Class session led by best-selling author, entrepreneur, and franchise consultant, Pete Gilfillan. You’ll learn:

• What defines an intrapreneur, and why these characteristics are perfectly suited to entrepreneurship
• The 12 biggest financial, professional, and personal benefits entrepreneurship offers over continued corporate employment
• 4 paths to becoming an entrepreneur—along with the pros and cons of each
• How you can get started today

Pete Gilfillan’s previous Master Class Why and How to Buy a Franchise was a highly-rated ExecuNet session. Attendees’ feedback declared Gilfillan to be “enthusiastic,” “sincere,” “authentic,” “comprehensive,” and offering “great perspective.” In From Intrapreneur to Entrepreneur, Pete tackles this new topic with the same direct, honest, and informed approach that has made him a bestselling author and one of the foremost experts on franchising in the world today.
