EO:Entrepreneurs Organization
By Jim Morrissey
This fraternal, streamlined global network of more than 6,600 business owners in 38 countries is for entrepreneurs only. EO's origin dates back to 1987 when they were founded by a group of young entrepreneurs. Their prime purpose was a very simple plan to learn from one another. However, this plan opened doors and created a huge pipeline of knowledge and solutions. Their system worked, whether it was a zany idea or one with an executive summary. Together they created a way to produce higher yields and streamline their businesses.
