The ENTREPREneurship gap

Tra’s fascinating new keynote - The Entrepreneurship Gap - is the companion to his new book, Boss Brain. It is a powerful and thought-provoking presentation filled with unexpected truths about the future of small business and entrepreneurship in America.

This one hour talk will empower your audience and inspire them to join Tra on his Mission:

To Rescue One Million Entrepreneurs From Traditional Employment.

revive your community’s spirit of entrepreneurship

The Entrepreneurship Gap keynote is a compelling and educational experience where Tra shares his findings and expert advice. There is a direct relationship between self-employment levels and local quality of life. Look at any city in America that has high levels of entrepreneurship and you will find a community that is safer, healthier, more educated, and more economically sound than its peers.

On the other hand, communities with a significant percentage of employment concentrated among only a few employers have more crime, more health issues, and are less innovative and economically sound. As entrepreneurship increases, so too do home values, wages, employment options, and disposable income. Entrepreneurs and their families give more to charity, volunteer their time more, commit less crime, and are more civically engaged.

In short, encouraging new business development is the best way to ensure that your community flourishes for years to come.

Why Boss Brain Matters

Right now, 100 million Americans want to quit their jobs and start their own businesses – and that number has been rising for decades. But while 70% of the American workforce wants to be self-employed, less than 7% is – and that number has been falling for decades. 

The widening gap between entrepreneurship and employment in America is the largest in history. Each year, more and more Americans want to start their own business. Yet each year, fewer and fewer actually do. 

For most, the American Dream will always be just a dream. The solution to this problem is surprising and counterintuitive.

Tra blends the findings of his research for Boss Brain and The Entrepreneurship Gap to help Municipalities, Economic Development Councils, and Chambers of Commerce create a balance between large-scale corporate growth and a flourishing landscape of small business startups.

Tra’s research reveals:

  1. Why American Entrepreneurship is dying and why no one is talking about it. 

  2. Why the key to reigniting American entrepreneurship doesn’t lie in front of us, it is hidden behind us.

  3. How our entrepreneurial instincts are being smothered by what Tra calls ‘predictable adequacy’. 

  4. Why entrepreneurship is one of the most important elements of building a peaceful and harmonious society.

“The purpose of Boss Brain is to shine a light into some of the forgotten corners of your life, bringing you face-to-face with the innate and sometimes unconscious things you do to sabotage yourself. By illuminating these reflexive errors in thinking and behaving, you’ll be better equipped to live life on purpose; an incredible goal achievable only by those willing to do the sometimes-painful introspecting that Boss Brain will bring about.” - DR.
