From Small Deals To Big Deals!
The WCRT is
proud to bring back some amazing individuals that have been around for years.
They started in the early days of the WCRT and now have made their dreams become
reality. Last month we talked about deals, this month, we will follow members
down the path and journey to be true Entrepenuers. Follow along as they share
their stories of how they met at the WCRT, began working together, and now have
reached the level that many of us dream of on a daily basis.
They are coming back to share
their growth as entrepreneurs and give back with nuggets of wisdom they
have learned. With a short informal presentation they will share their
deals, their starts, their stops, as well as their triumphs. Then we will shift
to an open question/topic segment where attendees can feel free to ask advice
and questions. Join us as Eric Hansen and David Krock return to the WCRT this
month to GIVE BACK!
