Dr. Sean Wise, the host of The Naked Entrepreneur on OWN Canada, will be in Prince George on January 24th. He believes that now is the perfect time to dream big, follow your passion and create your own path to success, and will talk about why now is the best time to be an entrepreneur.
Dr. Wise’s talk is being presented by Innovation Central, in collaboration with Startup Canada, and will be held at the Hubspace downtown.
“We are excited that Dr. Wise is able to visit Prince George and share with our entrepreneurial community his enthusiasm for starting businesses now” said Matt Hutcheon, Executive Director of Innovation Central. “The money required to start a business can be significantly less than it traditionally has been, launch can happen more quickly, and global markets are available from anywhere. In many ways, entrepreneurship has never been more accessible than it is now, and Dr. Wise will share best practices that decrease the risk of startup failure.”
Dr. Wise is one of Canada’s top mentors, is a former advisor to CBC’s Dragon’s Den, and has vast experience as an investor and business coach. The seminar runs from 5:30-7:00pm, and tickets are available through www.eventbrite.ca. Cost is $20, or $15 for students.
