Boomers remain in place in a desperate attempt to recoup losses in their retirement portfolios. Millennials are impatient and frustrated as their aspirations for growth are blocked.  More than ever, we seek rewards beyond a paycheck.  We quickly discover that the necessary autonomy and creativity we crave exist only in the world of entrepreneurship. Universities and organizational life simply do NOT prepare you for that invigorating challenge. The Lonely Entrepreneur provides content, experiential action-based learning, coaching and the essential scaffolding required for success.  Intellect is insufficient. Brilliant entrepreneurs have grit, courage and unequaled passion. The Lonely Entrepreneur is uniquely qualified to provide guidance, compassion, and a one-stop shop experience for everything you’ll need. As a person of color, I must add that this learning platform levels the playing field for all who engage it regardless of race, religion, ethnicity or sexual orientation. The subjectivity and biases prevalent in most C-Suites won’t be a factor in this learning community.  As a member of The Lonely Entrepreneur, you will have access to all aspects of the journey and equal access to resources.  You will be invited to dinner and actually eat the meal!  Lack of networks, connections or knowledge of what it will take to fund the dream won’t be roadblocks. As a Former C-Suite Executive with several decades in the for-profit and non-profit worlds, I was delighted to feel the full embrace of The Lonely Entrepreneur community.
