Lonely no more 11/23/2007
 

Feeling lonely at the top is a natural by-product of being an entrepreneur. There are so many issues to deal with on a daily basis and a dozen different actors to satisfy, all at the same time. The need, therefore, for like-minded individuals and confidential sounding boards becomes imminent.

EO - Entrepreneurs' Organization - is a 7000+ member network of, well, entrepreneurs in all industries, shapes and sizes. It's based on the principles of confidentiality, experience-sharing (Gestalt protocol), networking and trust. Every month, I meet with my forum - which I've had for over 6 years now - to talk about issues and candidly share. There are once-in-a-lifetime local and international learning / networking events as unique benefits that leverage the huge network. EO is also a sister company to YPO (Young Presidents Organization) - which increases the network effect to 25 000+ members!

Here is the video-reporting from CNBC about this wonderful organization. A good succinct 2 minutes on the principles talked about above.

The official web site is here and the youtube channel is here.

If you're an entrepreneur and you're lonely...  there's help ;)

Hi Jean, love the look and the colors... I will be back.

I have had some lonely moments with the transitions of one business to another... One funny thing hapenned last week. A past employee from another business contacted me through my blog to come and work again for me in my new organizationi... She is starting in 2 eeeks. I do have to say it was quite a feeling to have an ex employee track me down for a job. I'll see how it comes out... but at that particular moment, I didn't feel 'alone'

Best
David
