On today’s SBAM Weekly Podcast, Michael Rogers talks with Certified Focal Point Business and Executive Coach Dan Fleetwood -- an Elite member of the Small Business Association of Michigan. He discusses his work with small business owners on strategic planning and goal setting. He emphasizes the importance of entrepreneurs working on their business rather than just in it, navigating external distractions and mastering internal operations. “While I primarily draw from my own experience to help out my clients, it's incredibly powerful to have access to over 250 coaches around the globe, and we have quite the collaborative community that allows me to really provide top notch coaching to my clients.”

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!
