This workshop is about asking entrepreneurs the following question: "what are some mistakes and lessons learned that you wish someone had guided you on when you started out?" In this session we'll be spreading the entrepreneurs throughout the room, and people will be encouraged to go from one to the other and ask that question, as well as help workshop the model of the company the entrepreneur presents and give feedback based on their own experiences. What about you? Do you have a question to an entrepreneur? Don't be shy, log in below and write a comment! We'll try our best to get your voice heard.)

Nov. 5, 2009Another question I always wanted to ask was: "How much time did you spend preparing the business idea before you took the plunge?". It's always recommended to spend quite a bit of time on market analysis, business model, etc... However as we know a lot of entrepreneurs a not the patient type! They just jump right at it :-)
