Making It Better – a field trip for your entrepreneurial spirit

Workshop in Las Vegas, Nevada – Presented by Barbara Winter

NOTE – this event was presented November 28-30, 2006 – see her site for upcoming workshops in 2007, including Making a Living Without a Job; Establish Yourself as an Expert, and How to Support Your Wanderlust

From description of the Las Vegas workshop:

Charles Handy, one of the world’s innovative business thinkers, tells a story about visiting a vineyard in California. As the vintner was showing him around and talking about his plans for the future, Handy said, “You don’t have much land here. How can you get bigger?” to which the vintner replied, “I don’t want to get bigger. I want to get better.”

Handy has a lot to say about that philosophy. He writes, “Personal growth has no limits. Everything else does… Businesses can grow more profitable by becoming better, or leaner or deeper or more concentrated without growing bigger. Bigness, in both business and life, can lead to a lack of focus, too much complexity, and in the end too much to control.”

I couldn’t agree more and I want to help your business get better. If you lean towards the Small is Beautiful school of entrepreneurship, here’s your opportunity to learn how to bring more creativity, inspiration and fun into your entrepreneurial journey.
