Meridian Technology Center to host free Business For Breakfast Entrepreneur event

STILLWATER, Okla. – An entrepreneur is a person who takes on the risk of organizing and managing a business with a profit motive.

Phil Nichols, Chief Operating Officer for Energy Force, a Guthrie-based human resource outsource and consulting firm, will be the featured speaker at the March 19 Business for Breakfast series at Meridian Technology Center. He will share critical concepts people should consider when making the shift from employee to entrepreneur.

While employees focus on their particular role in an organization, entrepreneurs must focus on every role in their new business. That transition doesn’t always happen naturally and to successfully move from an employee to an entrepreneur, it takes more than a good business idea – it also requires a paradigm shift.
