Book Description
Small firms in Chicago employ more than 1.6 million individuals—nearly 50 percent of the private work force, according to a new study released this fall by the Small Business Administration. The survey, which defines small firms as those employing less than 500 people, also shows that these businesses generate 47 percent of the area's total receipts of $278 billion dollars. However, SBA statistics also reveal that, on average, of the small businesses starting today, 53 percent will not be in business four years from now. Of these closings, it's estimated that 15 percent will close due to business failures. Chicago businessman Jay Goltz understands what it takes for a small business to succeed. During the past twenty years he has owned and operated Artists' Frame Service in Chicago. Goltz started the business in 1978, and today it's the largest, custom retail picture framing facility in the world. Now, Goltz shares some his secrets of success.

Book Description
Street Smarts, Beyond the Diploma recently received the “Book of the Year” award for the student demographic from the Institute of Financial Literacy. The EIFLE award was presented at the Institute’s national convention in Orlando in April, 2012. Street Smarts responds to everyone who says “someone should write a book about the “school of hard knocks.” This book is about life skills – the development of those habits and traits that line the path to success. It’s intended to bridge the gap in the traditional college curriculum between “book smarts” and all the real-world, practical information and life skills that students need to succeed after graduation. Street Smarts, Beyond the Diploma is the result of three years of interviews with hundreds of successful people from all walks of life. This book summarizes 125 lessons that were identified over and over as to what students need to understand and master. Critics have raved about the book commenting on its visual format, “less is more” delivery, and entertainment value.
