PRESS RELEASE

Lakewood Ranch (Sarasota), FL. March 25, 2010. Training for Entrepreneurs.com, an on-line business skills training and virtual resource center for aspiring, beginning, and experienced entrepreneurs, announces the offer of a free Special Report entitled, How to Survive, Reposition, and Thrive - Even When Facing Economic Uncertainties. This newly released Special Report helps to demystify the strategy development and implementation processes for leaders of small-to-medium sized businesses. In this complimentary Special Report the, consultants/authors, Terry H. Hill and Dolly A. Stevens, define proven, time-tested processes that business owners and executives can use to help them better navigate their organizations through changing economic climates . "It is common knowledge that a great deal of uncertainty still looms in our current economy. In order to survive and to succeed as well during these troubled times, it is necessary for entrepreneurs to face several stark realities: Borrowing money is more difficult, business revenues are eroding, competitive pressures are becoming the norm, declining sale prices are common occurrences, and rising expenses are reducing profit margins. The bottom line of these stark realities is that more companies are going out of business and this situation clearly does not play well for our economic recovery," says Dolly Stevens, Director of Training for Entrepreneurs.com and co-author of the Special Report. In reality, survival is about making good decisions, developing systematic plans, and implementing strategic problem solving solutions. Ms. Stevens continues, "Many of our entrepreneurial members ask the question, 'How Do You Make a Good Decision?' Part of the answer to this question can be found in the results of the December, 2008 McKinsey Quarterly Global Survey, How Companies make Good Decisions. The McKinsey Survey recommends these steps: Make sure that the "right" variables were considered, and that the "right" people were consulted. Be aware of the fact that decisions initiated and approved by the same people usually generate the worst results! Keep in mind that discussions have value. And finally, initiate strategic planning processes since decisions made by companies without them are twice as likely to generate extremely poor results -- more than a fifth of these companies have revenues that fall 75%, or more, below expectations." In the complementary Special Report, How to Survive, Reposition, and Thrive -- Even When Facing Economic Uncertainties, Mr. Hill and Ms. Stevens present an overview of the strategic planning processes that are critical to the development of a Strategic Action Plan. The Strategic Action Plan, or the "roadmap," lays out a clear, concise path between the current position of a company and its future position. The Strategic Action Plan lists measureable objectives and recommends key strategic initiatives that assist entrepreneurs in navigating their businesses effectively through these uncertain economic times. The Special Report further demonstrates how the strategic planning process can help an organization deal more effectively and more proactively with the difficult issues and challenges that they face. After completing the strategic planning process, an organization will have a framework for articulating its values, its purpose, its strengths/weaknesses, and its objectives. The Special Report, How to Survive, Reposition, and Thrive -- Even When Facing Economic Uncertainties, assists an organization in making better decisions that will ultimately minimize possible risks and will help an organization seize valuable opportunities. The process also helps an organization develop the answers to the major questions: What do we need, what do we want to accomplish, and how are we going to accomplish it?
