In this episode of Rotaract on the Road, Greg Cole, founder of Cole Event Management Solutions, joins The Prosper Connector to talk about the unfiltered reality of building an event management business in Birmingham, AL. Greg shares the pivotal lessons he's learned on his journey from Alabama State University to the Northeast, and back to the Magic City .
We discuss the critical importance of protecting your business with solid contracts instead of relying on "vibes" , and the difficult mindset shift required to move from being an event planner doing the day-to-day work to the CEO and "architect" of a growing organization . We also explore how the Rotaract Club of Birmingham serves as a powerful networking community for young professionals, advocating for local entrepreneurs in rooms they haven't even entered yet.
If you are an entrepreneur in Alabama struggling to delegate, build a community engagement strategy, or simply protect your business, this conversation is a must-listen .
