Small Business is the Heartbeat of America. Independent Business Owners have decided to strike out on their own - to realize their true value, provide a better service, make a better product, and have the flexibility to work around their family's needs.

These business owners do so with the expectation of living productive, fulfilling, and meaningful lives - in pursuit of their own happiness - by owning and operating their own businesses.
