Follow on Google News | The Bagel Exchange Features Book-Signing with Author Aundrea Y. WilcoxTo kick off the summer reading season, a local new business, The Bagel Exchange, featured a book-signing with Aundrea Y.Wilcox, author of Startup Savvy: Strategies for Optimizing Small Business Survival and Success.
"Starting a business is tough. Surviving the startup phase is even tougher. An alarming number of small businesses do not manage to stay afloat beyond five years, because of unplanned and misdirected spending; short-sighted planning; under- and over-reaction to competitor moves; ineffective marketing; and because the owners fail to perform in functions they genuinely believe they are experts, whether it is finance and administration, marketing and sales, personnel and compensation, or management and operations. Startup Savvy is jam-packed with relatable real-world entrepreneurial stories from seven actual local small businesses combined with solid advice" stated Wilcox. Aundrea Y. Wilcox, Brenau University MBA, is currently the Senior Business Counselor of the Tennessee Small Business Development Center (TSBDC) at East Tennessee State University (ETSU) Kingsport Affiliate Office, and Executive Director of the Kingsport Office of Small Business Development & Entrepreneurship (KOSBE) at the Kingsport Area Chamber of Commerce, Tenn. She has provided one-on-one technical assistance to over 700 individuals or businesses. She is also a contributing blogger on business and finance to The BOSS Network, which was recently named by Forbes.com as one of the Top 10 Entrepreneurial Websites for Women, and one of the Top 10 Best Career Sites for Women.
