SUMMARY:The 10(0) Things Entrepreneurs Should Always/Never Do
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe 10(0) Things Entrepreneurs Should Always/Never Do \nwith Danny Schuman \n  \nCome join other Chicago entrepreneurs as we put together a list of tips and tools for entrepreneurial success. It’ll be a fun and productive event to share what you know and learn what you don’t. Each person will leave with his or her own Top Ten to take away and use. \nDanny Schuman has spent the past several months interviewing entrepreneurs who he calls UDOTs: Us Doing Our Thing. It’s the massive and constantly growing group of people who are out on their own\, doing what they love\, what they’re good at and passionate about it\, but aren’t so in love with\, good at\, or passionate about the other side of being a UDOT: the legal\, administrative\, business development\, etc part of the business.  The stuff that gets in the way of doing what they love. \nThose UDOT interviews have helped inform Danny’s to-be-published book on UDOTs\, called The Worst Business Model in the World. They’ve also helped him start amassing a list of do’s and don’ts for achieving success as a UDOT. \nWe’ll use his learnings as a starting point\, and collaborate on a list of tips—things you should always do\, and things you should never do—to help entrepreneurs do what you do better. \nCome share\, get inspired\, and further your journey as a UDOT!

SUMMARY:Don't be an April Fool - Come to Ignite Chicago and Be Heard!
DESCRIPTION:Ignite is a high-energy evening of 5-minute talks by people who have a burning idea—and the guts to get onstage and share it with their hometown crowd. \nSpeaking at Ignite is an unforgettable experience. You step up to the mic. Your palms sweat. You can hear the thump of your blood rushing. Your voice cracks for an instant and then you launch into a rant for 300 straight seconds\, wearing your passion on your sleeve\, barely pausing to breathe. The crowd goes wild. \nIgnite Chicago is open to everyone. All talks are 5 minutes (20 slides x 15 seconds/slide). \n \nThere is no theme for Ignite. You can talk about virtually anything as long as you can show us your passion for it. What’s the thing you most geek out about? What’s the topic of conversation that quickens your pulse and sets your toe a-tappin’? That is what we want to hear you speak about. \nAll speakers get equal time and equal billing. All talks are 5 minutes. You create 20 slides\, and we set them up to auto-advance every 15 seconds. \nWant to speak? \nThe audience at Ignite is generous and patient. They know the Ignite format is difficult\, and they realize you might be an absolute beginner at public speaking. Don’t worry – they’ve got your back. You’re giving them your passion and your vulnerability\, and they love you for that. You won’t find a more appreciative audience at any other event. \n\n\nSome people think Ignite is about self-help talks. It isn’t. Nobody wants to hear a preachy pep talk. We’re already “good enough and smart enough\,” so let’s keep this about you and your passionate ideas. \nFinally\, we’re serious about the no pitching thing. We know that sometimes a speaker must mention their profession in order to give their talk context\, which is totally fine. But Ignite is not the place to tout your organization or to troll for clients. \nClick the logo below for tickets
