Small Business Today
and Small Business 2000 (1995-2000)
are part of a family of programs
within Small Business School.
Each show is evergreen; each is a half-hour
and focuses on starting and growing a business.

We are glad you are here.

Small Business Today is our first series of twenty-six television shows. Each show has important lessons -- the content is a little like Julia Child's recipes -- the ingredients for success were true 30 years ago, and these same ingredients are necessary and will be true thirty years from now.

We have gone inside each of these twenty-six Small Business Today shows and provide access to those principles and practices that are truly evergreen. And even though these shows first aired on public television throughout the USA in 1994, some are still aired in remote parts of our world because of distribution by the USIA Worldnet (Voice of America).

In these shows you go with Hattie around the USA to meet
some wonderful small business owners -- Heliodoro,
Linda, and Jim. Over forty people and their businesses!
Be sure to look through the study guide for each of
these programs. There is a wealth of information.
These people are living out their dreams.

Even today, many of the programs are aired by public television,
by the United States Information Agency in several languages,
and by some commercial (including cable) stations.

The format is like an evening magazine.
The subject of small business continues to be explored
by Hattie Bryant and Bruce Camber.

Free Information! You will have the benefit of hundreds of seminars that Hattie taught. These materials were also used to write her book, Beating the Odds (Prima Publishing, April 1996). Hattie taught a series of customer service and time management courses. She also helped people clarify their goals. The free information contained here may help you decide whether or not you should start a business.

In every show from every season you go inside a small business. But within Small Business Today, there is always segment called, In the trenches. You will find that it is never easy. Also, there are thirteen shows with a special segment about fast-growing companies (called a Sliver of Genius). They make it look easy! The other thirteen shows have a special segment call Business Basics.

These shows continue to be broadcast throughout the world. For example, the Spanish version of the series airs in Latin America, and many schools and universities still air segments of the programs.
