Entrepreneurship Resources Institute (ERI) is an organization dedicated to empowering people, students, educators, and primarily newly unemployed with entrepreneurship skills to successfully start their own small business. “Lean” startup planning, a method originating in Silicon Valley, validate an idea, hobby, interest, or past work experience so that a wannabe entrepreneur knows before spending funds whether his or her idea will work, meet a demand, or solve a problem. All that is needed to become an entrepreneur using our training skills is desire, that strong wish, or want to follow through. A gig economy (below), artificial intelligence (A. I,), and now COVID-19 economic impacts are making entrepreneurship a survival skill. ERI specializes in those skills.

What is The Gig Economy?
Our Gig Economy is an environment in which temporary positions are common and organizations contract with independent workers. A study by Intuit predicted that by 2020, 40 percent of American workers will be independent contractors. They need entrepreneurial competence and a mindset. Additionally, being able to start one’s own business has become a survival skill. All levels of K12 education through college should mandate entrepreneurship to equip students for the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Revolution now quickly automating blue and white collar jobs. McKinsey predicts 38% of the U. S. workforce will be eliminated because of “deep learning” machines by 2030, a true job crisis.
Workers must move from a focus on “having a job that makes money” to “having skills that make money.” We are moving from ownership of jobs to creating new jobs. For more information about a Gig Economy, click here.
Purpose of ERI

Nitty Gritty
The Core Program builds on the work of Clinton E. Day, entrepreneurship professor and author, through group lectures, workshops, and book talks to affinity groups. Our primary emphasis is on training the “lean”, evidence-based state-of-the-art method. Because of its validation nature, anyone with the desire can learn entrepreneurship and start their own business. Each ERI teacher is credentialed in the methodology.
Validated Planning
Silicon Valley startups have designed a better and more successful way to start a new business. Because evidenced-based entrepreneurship uses validated planning, it doubles the chances for success and reduces risk. ERI embraces this method of planning sometimes called a lean or smart startup, and its staff has been formally trained to teach others the method.
