My friend, Rieva Lesonsky, will be leading the Entrepreneur Boot Camp track, which I'm a part of, and will include these topics;

  • Starting a Business 101
  • Rules for Entrepreneurs
  • Lead Gen and Sales Strategies for Your Small Business
  • Smart Hiring Practices/Is Your Business Evolving or are You a Dying Breed? Plus, 5 Minutes that Can Change your Business Forever
  • Ten Rules for Business Cards
