100 Tips to Small Business Results: Tips and Case Studies to Grow Business Owners and Propel Revenue
()
About this ebook
"100 Tips to Small Business Results" is a compilation of ideas pulled from SBR's 6 Steps to Small Business Results framework. This framework helps small business owners overcome three of the main issues they face: a sense of isolation, the burden of feeling overwhelmed, and lack of a revenue-generating model. Structured in an easily digestible format that supports the day to day needs of running a business, the book includes insightful information as well as a process that urges accountability and commitment. You will find tips, case studies, and short accountability homework assignments to help you commit to yourself and your business success. In this short, information packed book, you will be inspired, educated and given meaningful ideas to improve your business which can implemented right away.
Why this Book?
This tip book is unique in that it provides you with a systematic format and process rather than solely information. Each section has a worksheet with a built-in system of accountability for the reader to identify a tip, make a commitment to their business growth, and then observe and measure the results of their actions.
The comprehensive game plan is incredibly valuable both to the new entrepreneur as well as the seasoned business owner. Shelly brings her wealth of wisdom and experience in a dynamic program. Tough economic times call for creative and innovative solutions to weather the storm. Shelly has laid out a game plan that allows a small business owner to focus on the important tasks on a day to day basis, to increase market share, promote brand awareness and increase revenues. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to grow or build a business.

Acknowledgement
First and foremost this book is dedicated to my two children, Jeremy Richard Rubera and Jessa Rose Rubera, both of whom I adore and am so grateful to. Being the child of a business owner and entrepreneur is not always easy. In my moments of frustration and when I thought about quitting, one or both of them would always in the quietest, sweetest, and most sincere way look me in the eyes and say, Mom, you keep going. We know you will succeed and love what you are doing.
In my busiest times, I always knew that they were my number one priority and that they were proud of me.
To my mother, Frances Meline, and my father, Jeremiah Berman, for their entrepreneurial spirit and their work ethic.
My deepest appreciation and gratitude goes to Susan Lemke, Babson MBA Center for Career Development, for her belief in me, and to the Babson students and the Babson MBA graduates who supported me and believed in me and in this company, and for whom I have the deepest respect as colleagues and friends: Danielle Assumpcao, Irina Rosenblit, Dana Landers, Kristen Holihan, Rachel Texeira, and extraordinary recognition for Shirin Shahin and Tim Montgomery for their brilliance in execution, intelligence, and devotion.
And to my dear friends and colleagues who have been there all the way for me with their amazing love and support.
A special thanks to my friends; Barbara Blauer, Suzanne Salter and Jamie Levey.
