CEPA's: Join The Advisor Program Starting January 9th

Podcast 177 – Entrepreneurs’ Organization: A Tribe to Thrive With

Entrepreneurs' Organization: A Tribe to Thrive With

Patrick Donahue, Chapter President of the Entrepreneurs' Organization in MN joined us to talk about EO; its origins, benefits, success stories and how it has transformed the lives of so many members across the globe. 

The criteria to become a member is a short list and mostly tied to revenue. Members must be majority shareholders of their companies and most are well above the qualifying $1M revenue threshold, but for owners of companies below $1M in revenue, they offer EO Accelerator for early stage companies who want to grow or for smaller company owners who seek outside advice and feedback from like-minded peers

In the end, it's a peer group, but the primary difference is that EO's mission is to support the whole person, not just from a business standpoint. The educational offerings cover an array of topics and often provide “transformational value” as Patrick can attest to. He generously shared a moving story about how EO helped his entire peer group deal with a shared crisis.

Suffice it to say that as a long time member, it's done more for Patrick personally than anything else. But you'll have to determine that for yourself by setting up a visit to an upcoming meeting.
