Unintentional Entrepreneur is an initiative brought to you by Outright.com and Network Solutions to support the challenges facing a unique segment of new business owners; Unintentional Entrepreneurs. With little help from the credit market, government, or economy, we're a country with explosive growth amongst self-employed professionals, side business owners, recently laid-off employees or freelancers who have marketable skills, experience and knowledge that they are using to start or run their own businesses during the economic downturn.

The Los Angeles workshop is part of a five-city tour (Atlanta, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Washington D.C.) for Unintentional Entrepreneurs; providing an opportunity to learn from veteran entrepreneurs, network with local small business owners, and gain insight in the following areas:

  • Managing financial transactions
  • Bookkeeping basics and small business tax tips
  • Getting started online; building your web site and brand
  • Effective and efficient marketing methods
