A Cure for the Common Business

The Embattled Entrepreneur helps small business owners find success and direction.

(PRWEB) May 13, 2005 -- While there is some debate over the actual failure rate of small businesses in America, one thing is certain; the failure rate is entirely too high. Embattled Entrepreneur, an organization founded by Joel Sikes and Paul Evans, has launched a grass-roots effort to change the way business owners view themselves and their businesses. The primary component of Embattled Entrepreneur is a web-site providing a unique combination of practical business information, motivational support, and inspirational content. Additionally, small business owners and entrepreneurs can subscribe to a free weekly E-zine in which topics vital to small business success are presented.

A viable alternative to offerings such as Inc. Magazine, Fortune Small Business, and Entrepreneur.com, Embattled Entrepreneur penetrates to the very heart of what it takes to create a successful small business. Members not only receive valuable and relevant information via monthly strategy reports and articles on the nuts and bolts of small business; they are also able to interact with experts and other entrepreneurs. This forms an extended support network in which members can give and receive advice, while pushing one another forward toward the achievement of true success.

According to Joel Sikes, The small business system is flawed and unless there is a fundamental change, small businesses will continue to fail at an unacceptably high rate. I hope Embattled Entrepreneur can help initiate that change." Joel Sikes is a Certified Management Accountant and Certified Financial Manager with extensive experience in the small business arena. Sikes has spent the last several years as a consultant working exclusively with small businesses seeking breakthrough success.

Paul Evans is a motivational speaker, executive trainer, and public speaking consultant. Evans has completed thousands of public speaking engagements and now shares his expertise with others through multiple Internet-based training programs. We all have more potential within us than we truly realize", says Evans. For small business owners, clarity, focus and determination are essential to realizing that potential". Together, Sikes and Evans have created a unique environment in which entrepreneurs stand shoulder-to-shoulder, thereby becoming stronger, more focused, and more effective.

Sikes believes that the old small business framework of assume great risk, work really hard for a really long time, and hope for the best" is a major contributor to the high failure rate among small businesses. Embattled Entrepreneur seeks to awaken the entrepreneur that lives inside of most small business owners. Once awakened, that warrior/entrepreneur will drive the business toward real success".

Sikes and Evans personally manage Embattled Entrepreneur, writing content and participating in the forum discussions. Both are available via e-mail to address specific issues raised by their fellow entrepreneurs.
