On this week’s SBAM Weekly Podcast, Michael Rogers talks with business coach Jeff Jackson, owner of J. Ross and Associates (an SBAM VIP Member.) “Make sure you've got the right seats in the organization and then get the right people in those seats, because you have to spend time scenario-planning in this environment,” he says. “What if the top line shrinks by 20 percent? But if it shrinks by 40 percent? What do I have to look like? What's the organization look like?” 

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 28,000+ 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!
