Synopsis

The Eight Pillars of Small Business Success: Build a Business That Stands the Test of Time

"It is not the critic who counts... the credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood." – Theodore Roosevelt

Small businesses are the backbone of the economy, generating over 60% of net new jobs in the U.S. But despite their critical role, many struggle with slim margins, relentless competition, and burnout. Success often feels like an uphill battle.
