The Seven “C’s” of Success
Principles and Practices of Entrepreneurial Self-Leadership

Becoming a successful entrepreneur is all about making a difference in the lives of your clients and customers. To become a “master” yourself, you need to understand and apply the core principles and practices of self-leadership. This hands-on presentation outlines those core strategies that you can then apply to your own business. You’ll learn that success as an entrepreneur is not about flash, sales tricks, or simply having a great product or new idea. It is about leadership, understanding the needs of your prospective clients, and communicating your solutions with clarity. In this presentation, you’ll be introduced to the seven “C’s” of successful entrepreneurial self-leadership:

• Courage – Developing your vision and what you stand for
• Conviction – Statement of your purpose
• Commitment – The business model to establish, operate, and grow your business
• Competence – Skillpower and self-development strategies
• Confidence – making a difference
• Contact- Essentials of marketing
• Communication – Creating your personal and business brand

Thomas will demonstrate how these principles and practices can apply to your business. You will leave the presentation with ideas you can use and you will be inspired and motivated to take your marketing and your business to a whole new level.

Greg Noe, MBA will be speaking : Tax Saving Strategies for Small Business Owners.

Gregory S. Noe, MBA owns and operates Edgar Allen Group, Inc., a group of companies that provide accounting, computer, and investment services. Mr. Noe graduated summa cum laude from the University of Cincinnati with a BBA in marketing, management, finance, and insurance and an MBA in marketing and international business. He is an enrolled agent with the IRS, a registered investment advisor with Series 7 & 65 securities licenses, and an Ohio-licensed insurance agent for property, casualty, life and health lines.

One might say Mr. Noe was born to be a business consultant. He learned the complexities of taxation while working at a venture capital packaging firm. After the demise of the investment tax credit and the shakeup of the new ventures industry, Mr. Noe started Professional Business Services, Inc. and began providing consulting, accounting, and payroll services. By 1996 computer consulting had grown so much that Mr. Noe created E-Tech Express, Inc. to provide a full range of computer and internet services including custom builds, repairs, data recovery, networking, software training, web design and web hosting. In 2003, Mr. Noe created Benchmark Financial Services, Inc. to add investment, insurance and financial planning services to the list of offerings. These three firms provide distinctly different types of business services, and when combined, they form The Edgar Allen Group.

Mr. Noe has been involved in various entrepreneurial startup businesses, playing a key role in their business planning. His future plans include becoming licensed to provide credit counseling, loan financing, and real estate services. Mr. Noe can also be found contributing to the community as a guest speaker on topics within his areas of expertise.
