No. 1 Goal: Owning A Small Business
From television commercials
to websites to expos and
conferences, the call to
become an entrepreneur is loud and
clear. And it’s no surprise.
According to the latest research,
owning a business has been cited
as the number one goal of Americans
today. Approximately 62,000
small businesses start up on a monthly basis
nationally, according to the
Small Business Administration. Small business
is a driving force in the
United States economy with more than 24
million businesses running
today, approximately 17 million of
those being sole
proprietorships.
“A distinct feature of the
current growth of small business is
the rise of one-person
operations, by far the fastest growing
segment of the
self-employed,” said Aggie Kobrin, founder of
Conference and Expo
Connections, LLC, which will be holding the
Business Opportunities
Series and Expo (BOSS) on Feb. 4 in
Irvine, Calif.
“Entrepreneurship has always been a major part of
the American Dream.”
Kobrin, who plans on making
BOSS a traveling event throughout the
nation, realizes, however,
that just creating awareness of the business
opportunities available is
not enough for small business growth and success.
Aside from showcasing the
different start-up opportunities
available, including
franchises, businesses for sale and network
marketing opportunities. The
conference will also feature
workshops on how to increase
the chances of success through
proper operations, marketing
and planning.
“Approximately 80 percent of
new businesses fail within the
first three years of
starting a business because of inexperience
or lack of proper
marketing,” said Greg Scott Reid, author of
the best seller, “The
Millionaire Mentor”.
Reid will be speaking at the
event as will television personality Dr. Letitia
Wright, who will tape her
nationally syndicated cable show, “The
Wright Place,” from the
Expo. Other speakers include:
- Mimi Donaldson, business
consultant and nationally-renown speaker and
author
-
Vanessa Besack, public
relations and marketing consultant
-
Steve Burgess, co-author of best-selling book, “Purpose, Passion,
Abundance”
-
Rick Eggleton, franchise consultant
-
Susan Fiskin, professional speaker and business coach
-
Linda Hollander, author of “Bags to Riches: 7 Success Secrets for
Women in Business”
-
Dawn M. Holman, successful
entrepreneur, PR and marketing consultant and trainer.
“Our conference is ideal for
individuals who currently run a small business
—or aspire to—find the
ideas, products and services to help them
build their business
successfully,” Kobrin said.
The February event will be
the first BOSS event planned for the
western United States in
2006. Additional events are planned for
San Diego, Calif., San Jose,
Calif., and the Seattle, Wash.
areas in the spring and fall
of 2006.
