Nolan Bushnell, the found of Atari and Chuck E Cheese’s, said, “The critical ingredient is getting off your butt and doing something. It's as simple as that. A lot of people have ideas, but there are few who decide to do something about them now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. But today. The true entrepreneur is a doer, not a dreamer.” So get off your couch and come get into business shape entrepreneurs and attend this year’s Basic Business Boot Camp.
