The Quantum Entrepreneur
Entrepreneurship is the creative driving force of our economy. Entrepreneurs build opportunities and solve problems while creating the enterprise to turn ideas into reality. Managing the complex interconnection of priorities to make all this happen is only possible with deep commitment.
With the priorities of financing, commercialisation, marketing, finding the right team, managing growth and dealing with ‘the market’ it is easy to loose touch with the purpose from which ‘the idea’ was born. The Quantum entrepreneur remains clear about their own enduring and generative purpose and through this maintains the clarity required to keep the enterprise growing.
Of course your requirements change as you grow from a one person business operating from your lounge room to a thriving enterprise employing 100 people. So depending on your stage of development I customize this program to provide what you need when you need it.
The two most common frames through which we develop Quantum Entrepreneurship are:
The Mirco Entrepreneur
For the micro business our focus on purpose is developed within the practical. Working together we can cover any of the following:
- Keeping records
- The legal structure of your business
- Marketing
- Networking
- Refining your business idea
In each of these areas I can give you the benefit of my own experience in developing small businesses as well as putting you in touch with specialist professionals from my network. What makes Quantum Entrepreneurship different however, is that we never lose sight of your founding purpose.
The Growing Entrepreneur
As your business becomes established you face new and different challenges you may not be prepared for. With constant pressures to overcome the barriers to growth it is easy to let your founding purpose fall to the back of your consciousness. It’s still there but you just don’t seem to have time to give it the attention it deserves. This is a critical stage for your business. You could easily get caught up doing or being something you never intended.
Quantum Entrepreneurship program is customised for each enterprise. For the start up entrepreneur it may involve bringing in expertise in starting and growing a business. In other cases it may involve a round table with specific expertise related to a specific phase in bringing the product to market. In all cases it will involve individual and team mentoring that guides entrepreneurs and their management teams to remain clear to their purpose and therefore maintain the commitment required to see their venture from inception through to maturity.
Areas typically covered for growing entrepreneurs include:
- managing, empowering and engaging staff in a fast growing environment
- developing a powerful, energetic and innovative top management team
- presenting yourself with authority
- managing your energy
- what happens when you bring in partners and equity
- innovation round table to take your idea to the next level
