a
Ode to Small Business Owners
In my world, almost everything revolves around big business. I deal with big corporations and big lenders and big builders--big entities all around. But I have incredible respect for small business owners. There are millions of them in the United States, and they are a powerful force, driving our economy.
Yet, small business owners are also at a disadvantage because they often don't have many resources available to them. Unlike larger business entities with the funding to offer company-wide seminars or to subsidize continuing education, small business owners don't have the usual mainstream places to turn when they need advice on how to grow their businesses. When a small business owner has a staff of only a handful of people, it's hardly practical to hire a coach to dispense business advice. Then, where can the small business owner turn for high-quality and cost-effective resources?
This dilemma is one reason I saw the need to create an online learning environment like Trump University. I wanted to have a place where owners of small businesses--businesses that are just as critical to our economy's livelihood as big corporations--can turn to learn about critical business strategies and advice. These leaders need to understand how to hire, manage, motivate, and develop their employees. The Internet is a great tool for those kinds of resources, although I admit they're few and far between.
Surf around all over the web. Look for advice on how to reach your customers, how to raise your capital, and how to expand your business. The resources are right at your fingertips. I know you'll find that kind of help here at Trump University. It's the best advice from the brightest stars in the business field. I certainly wouldn't put my name on it, if it were anything less.
