Failing in the Spotlight! There are a lot of external pressures on a startup business. Especially if you are a celebrity. After all, you had a winning hand, right? .Why Attend? Come learn the lessons from an entrepreneur that had everything going for him to succeed -- BUT HE DIDN'T. Remember, "It's NOT what he DOES, it's what he's DONE."
March's event reminds us of a game of poker. You can look like you have the winning hand only to be dealt ONE game blowing card.
Luca Manfe, the first man to win Master Chef (and it was on his second try). Luca has experienced great highs and lows in his journey as a Master Chef (season 4). He had everything going for him. He made Houston his home 2015 and pivoted from a personal chef to a food truck - The Lucky Fig.
Luca has agreed to give a raw, real evening of where he made his mistakes. Because the Lucky Fig is closed.
How can you better your business? Participate and shorten your learning curve when growing your business. Find out how:
* Celebrity can FAIL you
* Manage your expectations, so they don't manage you
* Is the limelight the curse (and you were envious)
Was it hubris, arrogance, or ignorance -- or NOT?
What would you do if everything looked spot on for your success?
