You've Got To Think About Growth Beyond The Darkness!
The darkness for many is the current economic crisis that has caused tight lending, more scrutiny from equity investors, and cost-cutting from clients!
But you must think about growth anyway.
So says Susan Lentz. Susan is the Director of the Maricopa Small Business Development Center (SBDC), based in Tempe, AZ!
In a real interesting and frank discussion, Susan dishes on the role of SBDCs in facilitating business growth. She also provides some key tips including:
* Back up your entrepreneurial zeal with good research!
* Even most experts can't tell you if your venture will breakout or be a dud!
* Arizona has a small but growing tech venture community!
* Building a family venture can be ... uh, well let's say very challenging!
Susan also tells a great story about an entrepreneur that made millions with a very looney idea!
