Small Giants in Portland Tonight
Just a quick reminder for any small business owners out there: Bo Burlingham, author of "Small Giants: Companies That Choose to Be Great Instead of Big" will be speaking tonight at the Mariner's Church Banquet Center. (Ouch, do they need to update their Web site...but I digress....)
I read Small Giants a while back and really enjoyed it (review.) If you find that most Inc. and Entrepreneur articles are too focused on how to grow your company and not how to create a great company, Burlingham and his book offers a fresh take.
It's filled with stories and examples of small businesses across the US who decided to focus on what they did right, and chose not to grow, often firing clients or refusing new business. Even if your goal is to grow or flip your business, you'll come away with great new ideas on how to improve your business.
I'll have the honor of introducing Bo Burlingham tonight, so I hope to see you there. Cocktail & Hors d'oeuvres reception goes from 5:30 - 7:00 p.m. and the Presentation & Discussion is from 7:00 - 8:30 p.m.
The cost is $35 for MEBSR members and $50 for the general public. Yes, you can pay at the door.
