As a small business owner you are no doubt aware that being in business can be extremely rewarding; however, with it comes challenges that are sometimes too numerous to count. Experts often say to spend approximately 10 hours each week working on our business, rather than simply in your business; leaving you to ask, doing what? Not to mention which expert should you listen to?  Let’s face it, as a small business owner, adapting the strategies of a multi-millionaire or billionaire can seem out of reach.  You may wonder, do they even remember what starting out was like?  Wouldn’t it be great to hear from business owners with 10 years or less in their business?

 

According to the Small Business Administration, there are approximately 24 million businesses in the United States, with 600,000 new businesses started each year.  Yet, only 5,500 are recognized by Entrepreneur and Inc. Magazines (www.entrepreneur.com/hot500 or www.inc.com/inc5000) as the nation’s fastest growing businesses.  These businesses started out much like yours, as a vision and a dream; yet have achieved tremendous growth in just a few years.  These are the top companies in the nation, with annual revenues of 2 million or more, achieving a minimum growth rate of 900% in three years.  Wouldn’t you like a half an hour to gain the insight of these successful entrepreneurs? What if you could have time with some of the best experts in business right in your own living room or office telling you what worked for them at no charge!
