Welcome to Summit Small Business

You started your own business because you’re really good at what you do. That’s the way it should be. Today’s intensely competitive marketplace does not reward mediocrity.

But it’s not enough. Unless you know how to run a small business, you’ll work harder, longer for less money than you ever would for someone else. Does that describe you?

We specialize in helping talented people like yourself master the business-side of their business so their firm can achieve its full potential. That’s what we’re good at and we’d love to help you.

Focus: Getting the Right Things Right in Business and in Life by Bill Zipp Most small businesses fail trying to do too much. They do one thing for one customer one week, another thing for another customer the next, and a third thing for a totally different kind of customer after that.

Small businesses do this under the grave misconception that being all things to all people is what they need to do to survive. It achieves just the opposite. It spreads their limited resources an inch deep and a mile wide, never really serving anyone with the depth and quality it takes to build a loyal following.

Stop Trying to Be All Things to All People

We believe that sound strategy, the right things, accompanied by consistent execution, the right things done right, is the secret to success in today’s competitive marketplace. In other words, being an inch wide and a mile deep. Our free 59-page workbook, FOCUS: Getting the Right Things Right in Business and in Life, will show you how.
