Join us online **January 12–15, 2026, from 12:00–2:00 PM EST** for an inspiring, action-oriented **4-day virtual conference** designed to help you confidently navigate the journey to business ownership.
Over four powerful days, you’ll gain real clarity on what it *actually* takes to become an entrepreneur. We’ll tackle the questions that hold most people back, including:

* Are you truly ready to be a business owner? (What really changes when you stop being an employee and become *the* company)
* Do you need your own idea or is buying an existing business or franchise the smarter move?
* How do you sell, market, and attract customers?
* What does it take to build a sustainable business that can grow and support your life?

Each day includes:

* A **high-impact keynote speaker**
* A **panel of experienced entrepreneurs** who’ve already walked the path you’re considering
* A **guided networking session** to connect with fellow aspiring and existing founders

This conference is for you if you are:

* Employed but ready to transition into owning your own business
* Currently not employed and determined to build something of your own
* Retired and ready to turn your passion into a meaningful business
* A new entrepreneur looking to find your people
* Exploring a side hustle to create additional income and flexibility

You’ll walk away with **clarity, confidence, practical insights, and real connections**—learning directly from entrepreneurs who have been exactly where you are now and know what it takes to move forward.
If you’ve been waiting for the right time, the right guidance, and the right community **this is it.**
