Topic: Expiration Dates as Turning Points -or- How Lack of Opportunity Fuels Entrepreneurship

Do you have a self-imposed expiration date for your working life? When opportunities run out, what’s next?

We have come to know entrepreneurship as people finding an opportunity in the business space by creating a product or service that solves a problem in a new way. But often times it comes from something bigger, and a little more basic: the entrepreneur just doesn’t fit the mold. How glass ceilings, expiration dates, lack of opportunity, and burn-out all fuel startups.
