California State University, Chico Continuing Education in cooperation with the Center for Economic Development (a SBA/SBDC Lead Center) presents Strategies for Successful Business, a new professional development course series designed for the experienced business owner.
The goal of the Strategies for Successful Business course series is to provide a unique opportunity for business owners and managers to revive their entrepreneurial drive in their quest to improve their enterprises. The course curriculum will focus on leadership development, keeping up-to-date with technology and best practices, time management, business valuation, exit strategies, enterprise differentiation, recruiting talent, and how to develop strategies to grow your business.
“As a small business owner I know how challenging it is to be able to develop your business while you are busy managing its day-to-day operations.
