Description

 


 

 

Are you ready to turn your side hustle into your full-time reality? Oregon Entrepreneur Network and Portland Seed Fund's August PubTalk will be a dynamic and practical session designed for aspiring entrepreneurs and small business owners who are considering, or preparing for, the transition to full-time self-employment.

Join us for an empowering discussion featuring seasoned entrepreneurs who’ve made the leap and found success on the other side. You’ll gain real-world insights into what it takes to leave your 9-to-5, create a sustainable business model, and navigate the financial and emotional challenges of entrepreneurship.

Whether you’re still in the planning phase or ready to hand in your resignation, this event will provide the guidance, tools, and inspiration you need to move forward with confidence. Don't miss this opportunity to learn from those who have walked the path before you and turned their passion into profit.
