ISBO? What’s That?  Author: Nick Reid, MPI ISBO Advisory Board Member

If you an independent meeting planner, a small business owner or an entrepreneur, then you know that the business landscape can change overnight. That’s why mentorship, business opportunity, and a supportive network is crucial. According to the Small Business Association, 70% of mentored businesses survive more than five years. And MPI’s community of more than 18,000 members in countries around the world means unlimited regional, national and international business exchange options.

 If you are Independent or Small Business Owner, I highly recommend that you consider joining ISBO. We are a forum for exchanging advice amongst peers.  Whatever you are going through, somebody has been there and struggled with the same thing.  We use the forum to post questions, best practices and learn from others.  Recently, we hosted a series of webinars on Legal Issues arising from Covid-19.  The webinars were hosted by ISBO Co-Chair, Jonathan Howe of Law Firm Howe & Hutton and Joshua Grimes of Grimes Law Offices.  Over 600 small business owners were in attendance.  Next, we will be running a Webinar with a CPA answering accounting issues that have arisen due to Covid-19.

 Consider joining us! Members of the Independent and Small Business Owner community receive all the benefits of MPI membership, plus so much more.  Learn more about MPI Communities and ISBO here.
