UCLA Anderson School of Management in association with Kathryn Ullrich Associates, Inc. present a program entitled "Getting to the Top as an Entrepreneur/Business Owner"

If you have you thought about operating your own business, you don't want to miss the next Getting to the Top program. Whether you are starting, building, buying or franchising a business, this panel of successful entrepreneurs will share how they grew their businesses for success.

This panel of successful entrepreneurs, not your typical founders of venture-backed technology companies, will share their tips and best practices for starting and growing businesses, including:

* What are the skills and background you need, whether starting or buying a business?
* What leadership and management skills were important for growing a larger business?
* What disciplines are important to master for being a successful entrepreneur, whether small or large business?
* What mistakes provided the most learning to these executives?
* What advice have mentors shared that led to promotions and success?

Anyone who is interested in pursuing the flexible, challenging, rewarding career path of an entrepreneur/business owner should attend this event.

* Kerry McCluggage, Chairman of Allumination FilmWorks
