Small business is the backbone of a healthy economy, generating over 45% of private sector output and over 60% of net new private sector jobs, yet only 50% of small businesses survive the first 5 years. John Channon is a Certified Business Coach, Business Survival Specialist and Business Improvement Expert focused on working with business owners interested in beating these odds and thriving in today’s markets.
