An entrepreneur's greatest strength is the resolve to hang in through the tough times and to cling to their vision.  But how is this inner strength achieved? Is one born an entrepreneur? Frank O’Dea will answer these questions  and more as he shares his personal secrets of success. 

The Inner Strength of the Entrepreneur 

by Frank O'Dea



Frank O'Dea has a combined personal and professional philosophy  that is quite simple.  It’s about being true to one’s values and sharing them - not surprisingly, what’s put out or put in, comes right back.  How does this relate to business success? Let Frank O’Dea share his story and you will find not only inspirational words but a practical business message that will help you to achieve success in your business and personal life. 

The three months that he spent on skid row form an important chapter in the Frank O’Dea story, but the rags quickly give way to riches as we learn about the many successful companies he has founded, including The Second Cup Coffee Company

Currently, O’Dea is chairman of Proshred, the largest mobile paper shredding company in North America, partner in  two venture capital companies and he serves on 15 boards.  Also active in  the community, O’Dea is president of Renascent Foundation, Chairman of Street Kids International and The Canadian Landmine Foundation, and a director of the Canadian Foundation for Aids Research.
