BURLINGTON, ON April 5, 2012 An exceptionally successful fund manager couldn’t decide which she wanted to be when she went to university; a business person or a lawyer. Her Dad asked which she wanted to do: write the cheques or ask for the cheque. I want to write the cheques the woman decided and she became an entrepreneur. Her Father explained that lawyers ask for cheques – business people write cheques.
Burlington lawyer Rick Burgess, a former candidate for the office of Mayor has decided that he just might be able to have it both ways by putting on a seminar for entrepreneurs ” like you”.
Burgess points out that entrepreneurs start their company with a great idea and work many, long hours to build a successful company. They have a few successes. They also make costly mistakes that could have been avoided if they had known what the experts Burgess has assembled have known for some time
Burgess believes that time, money and frustration can be saved if you have the right information before you start and he has put together a seminar at which you can gain that valuable insight.
Burgess wants to:
