SUMMARY:Business Coaching with Earl Boyd at South Philly
DESCRIPTION:Earl Boyd is a business coach and entrepreneur with nearly 40 years of business consulting and ownership experience. He is the creator of the 5 Step Business Start\, a digital online system that helps people start a business the right way. Earl is also Director of Entrepreneur Services at Entrepreneur Works and Entrepreneur in Residence at Philadelphia Fashion Incubator at Macy’s. \nEarl will be providing free business coaching consultations for NextFab members in our South Philly coworking space on Wednesday\, April 10th from 2pm to 6pm. Appointments are 30 minutes and first-come\, first-serve. \n  \nEarl’s other endeavors include: \n\nBoard member for Scotch Porter (Quallis Brands)\nVice President Board of Directors for Ralston-Mercy-Douglass\nFormer member of the Board of Governors for Saint Joseph’s University Haub School of\nBusiness.\nFounding President of West Philadelphia Financial Institution – Led organization to co-develop\nand co-own $50 million shopping center (Park West Town Center) anchored by Lowe’s Home\nImprovement Center and Shop Rite Supermarket. Lowe’s store was the first to be built in an\ninner city/urban neighborhood in the U.S\n\n“An entrepreneur once characterized me as the ‘wise uncle’ that knows a lot about everything. She said\,\n‘Talking with him (Earl Boyd) is like talking with a family member or trusted friend about what to do with\nmy business idea\, how do I make money and how do I make an impact. He’s the person you go to when\nyou don’t know what to do (in business) and then he makes you believe that whatever it is you want to\ndo\, it’s possible.’ \nAfter thinking about her comment and reflecting on my career endeavors\, I graciously and humbly\nembraced the description\, not because I know everything about business. I am far from that. However\,\nafter 35 years of either being in business\, advising businesses or counseling entrepreneurs who are\nstarting businesses\, I have done a lot and seen a lot which gives me confidence in my knowledge about\nwhat to do and what not to do in business. \nStarting a business or being a business owner is a challenging task. My approach to coaching\nentrepreneurs is to provide you with substantive advice; that you can understand; delivered in a\nstraightforward\, personable style that allows you to walk away feeling confident and capable of doing\nwhat you want to do in business.” \nEarl Boyd
