Share Problems with Other Owners Bend, Oregon: Meet Pamela Hulse Andrews, founder of Cascade Business News. She found the network within Opportunity Knocks to be refreshing. Started by our veteran entrepreneur, Jim Schell, he says, "No small business owner should feel lonely." But we do. Jim advocates creating your own small business owners group. He calls them OK Groups and he's glad to share his guidelines. These groups typically meet once a month for three hours. Usually there is a group for business owners in retail, plus one for manufacturing, and others for service and for home-based business. The owners serve as an advisory board to one another. In this episode of the show you meet participants and see how they work together to solve problems and grow their businesses. Go to the homepage for this episode... |
