This is the second part of the lecture I delivered to a group of MBA students at the Crummer Graduate School of Business at Rollins College few weeks back.
In early March, I was invited by the Crummer Graduate School of Business at Rollins College to be a guest lecturer for their Executive Class on Entrepreneurship. I got to tell my story to this group.
I’ve written and narrated a video called The Crisis on Main Street: How Washington Continues to Ignore Small Businesses that I hope will give Small Businesses and Entrepreneurs a common voice and common purpose as we get ready to cast our votes in the mid-term elections.
In the President's announcement yesterday to raise SBA loan sizes and to help small banks access TARP funds, there is nothing to address the underlying problems of America's small businesses. I yawned. At this grim stage, what small business needs is the equivalent of outdoor survivalist Bear Grylls.
