Invest In Yourself Why You Need Training. And Where To Get It. By By Don Sadler For small-business owners, staying up to speed is never easy. But it’s critical if you want to run a successful business. “I often tell small-business owners that they’re not in Kansas anymore — they’re in the 21st century marketplace,” says Jim Blasingame, the founder and award-winning host of The Small Business Advocate Show, www.jbsba.com. “You need ongoing training because today’s global marketplace is so much more sophisticated. Your customers are also more sophisticated, and they expect you to be. You may have opportunities to partner with or sell to large companies, and you can’t do that if you’re still running your business like a mom and pop.” In this seminar, you’ll learn why training and personal development are vital to the success of your small business. You’ll also see how training relates to specific areas of your business. And you’ll get a list of resources to help you find the training you need.
