The Kruse Way Economic Forum Presents:
Thomas G. Jones, Ph.D.
Educator, Consultant, Coach and Speaker
Clackamas Community College SBDC & The Ridgefield Institute
Starting a small business can be treacherous. So can managing an existing one. But in both cases, certain truths prevail – truths that can spell the difference between success, modest success, or failure.
Thomas Jones knows. Named one of the 15 most innovative business educators in the United States, he has mentored over 600 Northwest start-ups and over two thousand smaller ventures in the areas of business improvement, turnaround, and succession planning. His Greenhouse Program for start-ups has been selected as a model program – best in class – by the United States Association for Small Business and Entrepreneurship.
Register now to hear Dr. Jones discuss key issues of entrepreneurship and business management. You will learn about the importance of differentiation in market positioning, why a business plan isn’t important, and the “Jones Small Business Diamond”, a powerful model that explains what small businesses must do to thrive in our current market while maximizing both joy and wealth of the individual owner(s).
