What is an Entrepreneur?

An entrepreneur is, by simple definition, “one who organizes, manages, and assumes the risks of a business or enterprise.” 

But there is so much more to it …

Entrepreneurs, no matter how big or how small, are at the core of the American dream.

Your dream.

Entrepreneurs posses the mindset to see opportunity everywhere. 

Your opportunities.

It is seeing an opportunity and turning that possibility into a reality.  

Your reality.

But any business will die without a good team of high quality people who are as equally committed to the business to back it up.

Your team.

An essential member of that team is legal counsel – someone who understands entrepreneurs and their companies, someone who is always available, works creatively on fees, helps to facilitate introductions and stops at nothing to help entrepreneurs succeed.
