Entrepreneur Resilience Summit

The Collider

Entrepreneurship can be a challenging and unpredictable path, and it’s common to face setbacks, challenges, and failures along the way. Being resilient can help you cope in a healthy and productive way and can help you bounce back from failures and continue pursuing your goals. Resilience can also help you stay focused and motivated and can enable you to adapt to changes and challenges as they arise.  As we look into 2023 and beyond, unpredictability in the market is going to be the standard, so to best prepare our businesses for a constant state of change, we need to be resilient.

Brought to you by Venture Asheville – join us on Wednesday, March 29th for an encouraging one-day summit designed for the founder, their team and for their venture.  We will be joined by keynote speakers, author Brad Stulberg, and former general manager of New Belgium, Jay Richardson, along with founders who lead the best company cultures and those who will share their personal stories of resilience.  In addition, area resources will be available to answer a broad spectrum of questions during the open networking time.

Each ticket includes admission for one person to all sessions, morning coffee, box lunch and a Pockitudes journal.

Attract New Customers to Your Business Through Google My Business
Apr 4 @ 5:30 pm – 8:00 pm
BRCC Small Business Center TEDC 336

In-Person Only
No cost due to sponsor support


BEST PRACTICE: One of the best ways to be found on the Internet to market your business is with Google My Business to attract new customers that can be repeat profitable customers. Until you are Top of Mind in marketing this helps you become Top of Search in Marketing for free. Prior to Google my Business, you had to consistently work to be found near the top of page one on search. By being listed on Google My Business and learning how to move up in Search Engine Optimization (SEO) tools, you are near the top of page one in search. Plus, it is free. According to Google My Business: -Makes it easy for your business to be in one, easy-to-use location. -Puts your business info on Search, Maps and Google+ so that customers can find you, no matter what device they’re using. -Gives customers the right info at the right time, whether that be driving directions to your business in Maps, hours of operations in Search or a phone number they can click to call you on mobile phones. -Helps build a loyal fan base. Customers can show their appreciation with ratings and reviews, use the +1 button to endorse your content, and re-share your Google+ posts across the web. 
 This seminar is good for creating your Google My Business site and for those that “already” have Google My Business that want to move up in Google.
