What's your recipe for success? - LaunchNET Kent News & Events

November 1, 2016

Thanks for being a LaunchNET Kent State client and/or friend! We're glad you're here. Be sure to check out and sign up for our upcoming events, share with your friends, and check out other happenings around the area for entrepreneurs. 

The recipe for success isn't written down anywhere.

Success, especially as an entrepreneur, can be a tricky formula. Balancing the variety of hats you have to wear: operations manager, marketer/networker, bookkeeper, receptionist, fundraiser. . . with the demands of school, work, and life in general can get overwhelming sometimes. 

We're here for you. Think of us at LaunchNET not just as business advisors, but people who understand the life of an entrepreneur, here to support you in whatever way you need right now.

And there are others out there who are also on the same journey, so be sure to make some time to get out of the house/office/dorm/classroom/lab and meet some of them. There are plenty of opportunities in this newsletter to do just that!
