Entrepreneurship 101, Vol. 2: Selecting Partners

John Duffy, 3Ci founder and CEO, is a serial entrepreneur having started several businesses in a wide range of industries. He was asked to speak to a group of Florida Atlantic University students as part of their celebration of Global Entrepreneurship Week. Entrepreneurship 101 is a break down of that panel discussion into topical segments meant to be informative and hopefully useful to potential entrepreneurs. Duff is not a professor he just plays one on TV so take his advice at your own risk.

This course strives to provide students with the knowledge and tools necessary to understand what it takes to be an entrepreneur and some of what to expect as you begin your journey into entrepreneurship. Please be advised, it is not for the faint hearted. The purpose of this online course is to provide future entrepreneurs the knowledge of what to expect and some of the pitfalls to look out for and hopefully avoid. Although this course focuses on entrepreneurship the lesson learned can be taken into all aspects of business and life. Please feel free to comment on each video as Professor Duff encourages thoughtful dialogue and will respond when appropriate. Topics covered will include: Motivation, Selecting Partners, Outside Capital, Choosing a Market, Creating Value, Scalability, Oscillation Curve, First Steps, Strategy and Ideas.

There is an old saying "You Should Never Do Business with Friends". In Volume 2 of Entrepreneurship 101, Duff explains why he ONLY does business with his friends and why he would not be concerned with telling people about a new idea for a business.
