I'm Jim Aikido. Many years ago I began working with a company that decided to not attend trade shows anymore. Much of the conversation we hear from the media and from politicians inflate the significance of the stock market on the day-to-day lives of everyday people in this country. The reality is that “a dollar spent at an independent retailer is usually spent six to fifteen times in the community before heading out of town. Just $1 can create $5 to $14 of value in the immediate area.”
Independent small business has to manage all aspects of their business, without the protection or guidance of a corporation or board of directors. Small business owners apply for loans, run cost analyses, manage employees, create marketing and branding, and the list goes on. Our network of associations focuses on helping small businesses across the country focus their energy on their business so they can build towards their future.
