Creative Strategies to Inspire Your Entrepreneurial Mindset

"Everyone has embarrassing episodes in their life they'd rather not talk about. But these moments are part of the journey, and when contextualized, they help give us a more detailed picture of who a person is."

Entrepreneur's Toolbox

A few simple tools and knowing how to use them can be the basic building blocks that you can rely on  as you leverage limited resources. This facilitates the implementation of more complex systems that are fueled with the latest technology. We remind you that  the tools are not ends in themselves, but provide the necessary data for assessment and decision-making. At ALVAPRENEUR Consulting, we work with you to choose and adapt the tools you need, as there is rarely a silver bullet solution or a one size fits all tool.

Wellness

Entrepreneurial living can become a 24 x 7 x 365 slog and if unchecked, the stress can take a toll on personal health, family life and friendships not to mention the workplace environment.  It is one thing to be passionate about your venture and persistent in your commitment and quite another to be a stubborn jerk who tries to defy the laws of gravity. Wellness is also about lessening the hard falls by keeping things in perspective.


Be strategic about wellness with help from ALVAPRENEUR Consulting.

Mentors & Advisors

Some entrepreneurs start out as micromanagers and some periodically default to this position. Perhaps they  feel they can either do it all, or don't think they can afford the needed staff. Whatever the reasons,  having one or more mentors or executive coaches can curb disturbing tendencies. Organizationally, it also makes sense to have a board of advisors to help round out the team building.
