The Entrepreneur Nation 2020 Christmas Party
The Entrepreneur Nation 2020 Christmas Party showcasing relentless entrepreneurs who are not willing to give up on entrepreneurship. The 3rd Christmas Party was not the same but we had great fun together. Our members showed up all wearing masks and keeping 6 feet apart to keep each other safe. 2020 makes our 3rd year in business and great milestones have been achieved despite all odds. We are forever grateful to our members who held together and kept each other accountable.

Entrepreneur of the year award
we celebrate a great entrepreneur and role model for many. What did he do? Dani has been part of several networking groups since 11 years ago but now prioritizes our group. Over the years, he has come to believe in the power of referral. Dani believes that for others to support your business you need to do the same and lead by example. Several times, members have joined and the first to refer business to them without expecting a referral from them is Dani.
Superior work ethic
As a matter of fact, people out there believe that Dani owns The Entrepreneur Nation™ because of how much he is involved. Many will go to him when they have a concern instead of coming to me and Dani has never turned them away. He always offers a listening ear to our members. So what did he exactly do to gain this recognition 2 years in a row? Referrals to other members Superior work ethic and professionalism Sharp reliability. We can count on Dani to do what he said he will do and to attend all the meetings assigned to him. More than 10 meetings in a month as our Corporate Sponsor..... drum roll. Refers his friends to our membership Takes care of the clients referred to him by our members Thank you Dani, we look forward to a resounding 2021 for you within T.E.N.
Get ready for the 2021 award
After doing a test drive in London ON, several members have said they want to compete with Dani in 2021 for this award. We love positive and friendly competition which means we have agreed to roll out this program to all the chapters countrywide and globally including the Women's Club. Every month the chapter leaders and the franchise partners will report to the operations team the name or names of members who had the highest number of testimonials based on the following criteria: Referrals to other members Superior work ethic and professionalism Sharp reliability. Never misses the chapter meetings or appointment with our members. Refers his friends to our memberships to grow the chapter Takes care of the clients referred by our members Meets with members for one-on-one coffee meetings to learn about their businesses. Operations will tally and announce on a quarterly basis who is on the leaderboard. At the end of the year, we will come out with the winner.

Meet The Nation
Every business has a beginning, and ours has one too. Lucy Jeffrey who is a Social Media Trainer. She saw a huge gap that needed to be filled right away. She saw huge retail stores close doors and move their businesses online to remain competitive. She wondered who was helping the small business owner to do the same. Her passion for helping small business owners, led to the creation of something new and different. We celebrate our members daily on social media. We ask our members to share with us what’s new and positive in their businesses so we can give them a shout out.The Nation is made of all the members. Because of the high numbers, we shall have featured members from Executive Level and up. We shall have this section updated regularly to give exposure to this category of members.
