T.R.E.I.© is the brainchild of our Founder, Lusia [Lu] Donovan. After guiding many aspiring entrepreneurs over the years through the business start-up process, Lu made the decision to convert her experience, knowledge and deep network of entrepreneurs and business associates, into a nomadic hands-on experience called, The Roaming Entrepreneur Incubator© also known as T.R.E.I.© [pronounced as "Try"].
T.R.E.I.© is a unique concept in comparison to the normal run of the mill incubators or startup business mentorship/coaching programs. T.R.E.I.© brings structure to the business startup process along with actionable detailed, step-by-step guidance through our self-guided course and/or the use of our guidebook Profit Pursuit: The Entrepreneur’s Guide to Starting a Business, to define these key elements for each step along the way:
-
What do I need to do?
-
Why it's important to do?
-
When does it need to be done?
-
How do I get it done or do it?
T.R.E.I.© at its core is a program where ideas can be shared, feedback comes from loving and caring places, friendships are formed, and invaluable support given and received from one another on all things life throws at each entrepreneur during their unique entrepreneurial journey.
Our T.R.E.I.© Programs are focused on empowering aspiring or newly minted entrepreneurs looking to start a business or have started a business but have gaps in knowledge and process they need help filling to move them onward in their entrepreneurial journey.
Our T.R.E.I.© Startup Accelerator is the supporting arm of T.R.E.I.© being made available to the public. The resources and tools developed to support the T.R.E.I.© programs were crafted by our founder and author of Profit Pursuit, Lusia Donovan. Utilizing these resources and tools along with the community support structure we are able to help entrepreneurs navigate roadblocks, launch businesses, and fill in the knowledge gaps where our members need it most.
