As a small business owner, you need to keep expanding your knowledge if you're going to stay competitive. Grow your business by design rather than by accident with seminars that teach you about communication skills, customer service, finances, leadership and marketing. Find a seminar on small business by following a few easy steps.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Step1
Look for small business seminars offered in business school catalogs and websites from your local universities. You get the benefit of networking along with excellent training.
Step2
Contact your Chamber of Commerce for small business seminars. They can also tell you about the local market.
Step3
Check out business organizations. The American Management Association, for instance, has a comprehensive array of seminars appropriate for small business owners.
Step4
Keep an eye out for seminars mentioned in your local paper. You can search Inc Magazine's website for news releases about upcoming seminars in your area.
Step5
Search online seminar directories for topic-specific training. Seminar Information lets you browse by subject or search by location. Each entry features detailed information about what the seminar will cover.
Step6
Take an online small business seminar if your budget is tight. You can even find some at no cost. The New York Public Library has a small business center with audio and video seminars you can download or view online.

Tips & Warnings

  • Networking benefits can outweigh increased cost of a small business seminar attended by many, rather than an online seminar.
  • Be cautious about small business seminar advertisements you get in the mail. Some may be reputable and suitable to your needs, but research the source online and over the phone before you give them your credit card information
  • Resources abound so be sure to check speaker credentials and program suitability before signing up.
