The Mohave Community College Small Business Development Center (SBDC), partnering with the Mohave County Economic Development Department (MCEDD), is currently accepting scholarship applications through April 10th for participation in the “Profit Mastery / Creating Value and Building Wealth” for Entrepreneurs/Small Business course which will take place on May 1st, 8th, 15th and 22nd 2013 from 8:00 am – 12:00 pm.
“Profit Mastery / Creating Value and Building Wealth,” is an internationally – acclaimed seminar for owners and managers of small business designed to improve business practices and increase business profits by helping leaders of small and diverse businesses grow their skills, networks and companies.
MCEDD Acting Director Bennett Bratley points out, “Ninety eight percent of America’s businesses are small businesses and nationally, they supply 53 percent of all jobs. In rural Mohave County, small businesses are the backbone of the regional economy and play a significant role in our eventual return to economic vitality.”
“Over half of all businesses that fail each year do so despite reporting profits and record sales. The most successful businesses have found that the key to long-term success revolves around effective financial management. Profit Mastery is an excellent seminar focusing on financial management for entrepreneurs and has a phenomenal success rate nationwide”, said Bratley.
According to printed class information, “to be eligible to participate in this program, a small business must be located in Mohave County, have completed one year in business, commit to attend all 4 sessions and agree to become a Small Business Development Center client, after the training, for performance measurement purposes and to receive free ongoing assistance from the SBDC.” The scholarships cover the full $350 course fee. Transportation and meals are not included.
