The 2nd Annual GrowSmartBiz Conference is being held at the Renaissance Hotel in Washington DC, November 5th, and I'm honored to have been asked to speak about the realities of franchise ownership this year.
Network Solutions, and The Washington Business Journal put this small business event on. It's for current and future small business owners.
My friend, Rieva Lesonsky, will be leading the Entrepreneur Boot Camp track, which I'm a part of, and will include these topics;
- Starting a Business 101
- Rules for Entrepreneurs
- Lead Gen and Sales Strategies for Your Small Business
- Smart Hiring Practices/Is Your Business Evolving or are You a Dying Breed? Plus, 5 Minutes that Can Change your Business Forever
- Ten Rules for Business Cards
- Public Speaking 2.0
I'm excited to be a part of this event, because not only will I be representing my own company, Franchise Selection Specialists Incorporated, but I'll also be representing Small Business Trends, where I've been the "Franchise Expert in Residence" for the past few years.

Shashi Bellamkonda, of Network Solutions, (who's the Social Media Swami) is pressuring me to add a dose of humor to my presentation on franchise ownership.
