Having a small business or getting started these days may have some of us wondering, how is it possible?
A couple of weeks ago after attending the 4th Annual East Valley Minority & Small Business Symposium - I came away with so much good information it created a new inspired vision. All things are possible - avoid looking at circumstances and get busy with a plan!
The one really great presentation was that of Luis Reynoso, SBDC - MCC (Small Business Development Center - Maricopa Community Colleges) whose presentation Marketing on a Shoestring gave a wealth of information.
