North San Diego Business@Large Episode #17

Show Notes

Mark LeBlanc, Small Business Success, was the featured speaker at a recent Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce First Friday Breakfast. I captured his presentation, in my usual "I can podcast from anywhere" attitude. The content is worth it, though!

Check the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce website for the events I discussed in the podcast. And, there's a Mind Masters' Minute about product creation and raising your credibility as an expert in your industry.

Next week, a little more from Mark and a surprise for all you solopreneurs.
