All these people are advocate for their local chamber of commerce.
Many episodes of the show are represented here:
-
"Exit to Equity" is a key episode for the Baby Boomers.
-
"Staying Power" opens the way to the fast-growth and slow-growth issues.
-
"Protect Your Ideas" opens copyright, trademark and patent protection discussions.
-
The" Women are Everywhere"is a great study for women business owners. "Leadership" will challenge anyone to have more courage.
-
"Security" is a "must-see" for all of us doing business ion the web.
-
"Understanding Your Financials" could be a good new member ice-breaker.
Then, of course, all these episodes are being aggregated by business type so each becomes a study center for those in manufacturing, service, including restaurants and retail. |
