It's becoming more common knowledge that the game of business has been changing with the turn of the century. These changes are driven not only by advancements in technology, but by a more savvy and demanding consumer. The sure-fire formula that used to work: build a product everyone will love, mass-produce it, invest heavily in marketing and get it on the shelves, no longer leads to successful growth or profits. Entrepreneurs that are thriving in today's market have adapted their approach. Join EntrepreNerds this month for an enlivening discussion about:
- The Evolution of Capitalism
- Purpose Centered Business
- Blazing New Paths to Success

About EntrepreNerds:
EntrepreNerds is the brain child of Ariana Friedlander. Six months into starting her business, Ariana began to realize that there was a lot about being an entrepreneur she needed to learn in order to succeed. A dedicated lifelong learner, she yearned for a supportive community of fellow entrepreneurs that read business books and discussed their experiences applying the concepts to real life. And so EntrepreNerds was born, with the first Book Discussion happening on March 1, 2012. Participating in this simple yet profound and engaging professional development program makes the difference between success and failure. EntrepreNerds Book Discussion participants benefit from making meaningful connections while expanding their knowledge. As a result, participants are empowered to implement new techniques, behaviors and strategies to successfully grow their business.
