Entrepreneur’s Club

Have an exciting business idea but aren’t sure if it will really work? Before you spend months (and thousands of dollars) building, there are faster, smarter ways to test demand.
In this interactive roundtable, we’ll explore practical, low-cost methods to validate ideas — from quick landing pages and pre-sales to customer interviews, social listening, and small pilot launches. You’ll have the chance to share your own approach (or ask for help if you’re stuck), learn from real stories of success and failure, and leave with clear next steps for testing your concept in the real world.
This is not a lecture — it’s a space for honest conversations, shared lessons, and actionable advice.

### 👥 Who This Is For

• Employees looking to escape 9–5, gain work-life balance, and grow financially
• Anyone with an idea but unsure where to start
• Seasoned entrepreneurs with experience to share
• Experts wanting to join a startup team and build something new
• Investors and VCs scouting the next big idea

If you’re ready to explore, share, and grow alongside other driven founders and innovators, you belong here.

Wondering if you should buy into an established franchise or strike out on your own? Both paths can lead to success — but they’re very different journeys.
In this candid, founder-led roundtable, we’ll explore the real-world pros and cons of franchising versus building your own business from scratch. Members who have walked these roads will share what drove their decision, the unexpected challenges they faced, the support (or lack of it) they found, and how each choice shaped their growth and freedom as business owners.
This isn’t a sales pitch — it’s a safe, open conversation to help you weigh the trade-offs, ask the questions you can’t Google, and find clarity before making a big leap.
