On today’s SBAM Weekly Podcast, Michael Rogers talks with Ryan Jankovic, a VIP member of the Small Business Association of Michigan and an EOS Worldwide Professional Implementer. “I ask everyone, when I meet them for the first time and before we take a client engagement, what do you want from your business?” he says. “And it's not a knee jerk reaction –  I want sales, and I want my people to do the things that I need them to do. What do you really want? And I slow it down. What do you really want from your business? And when you think about what you really want, sometimes it can be complex if there's multiple owners because you’ve got to be on the same page.” 

The Small Business Association of Michigan is the only statewide and state-based association that focuses solely on serving the needs of Michigan’s small business community. We have been successfully serving small businesses like yours in all 83 counties of Michigan since 1969. We’re located in Lansing, just one block from the Capitol.

Our mission is to help Michigan small businesses succeed by promoting entrepreneurship, leveraging buying power and engaging in political advocacy. When small businesses band together through the Small Business Association of Michigan, they achieve more than they could on their own. 

Our 32,000 members are as diverse as Michigan's economy. From accountants to appliance stores, manufacturers to medical, and restaurants to retailers, what unites the SBAM membership is the spirit of entrepreneurship…a spirit that drove you to start and continue to operate your own business because you believe you can do something better than anyone else is doing it!
