Greetings!
 
According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, net job creation  following the 1991 and 2001 recessions came from entrepreneurial companies. Will the same be true as we come out of the current recession? If so, this may be your chance to start that business you've been thinking about for years.
 
In November 2009, the Kauffman Foundation released a study called, The Anatomy of an Entrepreneur: Making of a Successful Entrepreneur. The study identifies success factors and challenges of successful entrepreneurs. One finding showed that 73% of respondents ranked professional networks as important to their success.
 
Why not use the summer months ahead to build your professional network? Join us for two evens in June that will help you build your network. See the details on the events below.

We're Talking About Practice
by Matt Nettleton
 
Do you like to golf but don't really put much practice into getting better? That one great hit gives you hope and gets you back out to the course the next weekend hoping for more great hits. Is that how you approach your sales? You have one great sale so, without any additional practice, you hope for another great sale?  How's that working for you? Click here to read more.
 
Don't miss Matt's workshop on June 23. See details here.
What do you get?
 
What do you get when you mix 4 business leaders with 14 nervous high school students?
