NCCBA is proud to present:
Laws of Entrepreneurship
- characteristics of successful entrepreneurs
Every entrepreneur is unique, but they all tend to share certain characteristics.
Every entrepreneur has his or her own set of strengths, weaknesses, talents
and abilities. It's important that you learn which characteristics you have
already developed and which ones you need to develop. Entrepreneurs who have
stood the test of time and have made a difference in their communities and
industries do share common characteristics. On April 6, Walter Daniels, founding
partner of Daniels Daniels & Verdonik, P.A. Law Firm at RTP, will present
a lecture on "Daniels Laws of Entrepreneurship" based on his observations
about special characteristics of successful entrepreneurs with whom he has
worked with over the past 25 years.
