 Robert
A. Normand, Executive Director
Institute for Smart Business Management
Sarasota, Florida “Small business is hardly
small when it involves 5.6 million enterprises, employs more
than 60,000,000 and accounts for 80% of new job creation.
Small business is the heart and lifeblood of the U.S. economy!”
Yet more than 50% of new businesses fail, I believe unnecessarily, for
lack of exposure to, and knowledge of basic, proven and successful management skills. |
ISBM Objective: “To make
a serious dent in the small business failure rate
by giving
business owners and managers better systems and tools at low cost
and by teaching simple,
easily learned
management skills!”
