“I have been totally inspired by this course.  The value of the guest speakers brought diversity, new perspectives, reminders of things I ‘know of’ and can increase my knowledge exponentially.  The handouts, recommended readings, and the instructor’s follow ups gave me so much information and possibility fodder to grow, not only my business, but myself.”

“Rogue Community College has been invaluable to our success. Through the years RCC and BDC classes and onsite counseling have provided us with a one stop resource for answers to our day-to-day challenges, such as employee matters, accounting practices, short-term and long-term goals, as well as encouragement and, of course, constructive criticism. We will increase our operations by approximately 50% over the next 12 months”.
Michael Karpinski

“Having you as a resource was very instrumental in establishing our company. We have grown from Michael and I working out of our garage to an international business with approximately 10 employees. As we continue to grow and expand I continually refer back to my SBM resources. Thank you. I can strongly say that we would not be in the position we are now without the education and guidance from you”.

“The SBM I and II were incredible assets to my business and business thinking. I frequently, when put in a situation out of my comfort zone, use the questions from those classes to solve them on my own. In fact, I took SBMII twice just to give myself a little more time to learn those valuable nuggets”.

“Michael and I will have been in business as the East West Healing Arts Center for 25 years in 2008. So we are not novices at running a successful small business. However, participating in your program gave us many insights into building a successful business in the Rogue Valley:

  • The need to work on as well as in our business;
  • The value of relationships and loyalty in building a business in a ‘small town’;
  • The importance of using free talks, seminars (paid and free), and classes to build our credibility and thus our business.

Thank you so much for your wisdom and contacts. We enjoy our mentorship and friendship”.

“ I truly believe if we hadn’t signed up for the SBM program we wouldn’t have made it through the first year of business. Having the SBM program guide us to make good business decisions set us apart from being a failing business.” Mike and Wendy Larue

“I’d heard good things about the RCC’s SBD program. I’d been in business for myself for about 20 years and felt as though I needed a shot in the arm and some new insights. I received great and useful tools from the class, but what I appreciated most was the networking and the exchange of ideas from the other participants. It was well worth the time. Thanks”.
