“SBM is invaluable! The variety of highly qualified speakers and personal coaching has proven vital in growing a strong and stable company. During classroom interaction, a great deal of wisdom can be gleaned from fellow participants who have “been there and done that”. SBM not only helps to resolve current issues facing a small business, but it also helps to equip a business owner to maintain a healthy, mature and optimistic perspective of the future. This gives you a distinct advantage over your competitor, who may use a “shoot from the hip” management style. My only regret is that I did not take advantage of SBM sooner!”
