How to Dream Big and Make the Hard Work of Starting a Business Worth It

The early days of starting a business aren’t easy; for many, it can be an arduous journey. Often, getting your idea off the ground and turning it into a successful company—especially if you don’t have many resources—means hours upon hours of doing painstaking, tedious tasks. What does it take to make your dreams of starting a business a reality? In this illuminating webinar, one of Forbes’ Richest Self-Made Women, Liz Elting, speaks from her own experience of turning her dorm-room startup into a billion-dollar, global powerhouse. Delving into the many lessons from her debut Wall Street Journal bestselling book Dream Big and Win, Elting offers an inside look into the often grim realities of being an early-stage founder and how to take action and do the hard tasks at the beginning of your work to pay off in the long run. Elting will also impart best practices for leveraging limited resources to grow a business from the ground up and how a passion for what you’re working toward is critical to a successful entrepreneurial journey.
