Jeff & Rich Sloan's DVD releases nationwide on August 10
"We believe that anyone can start a business, and we believe that everyone should start a business.” - Jeff Sloan
Detroit, MI (PRWEB) August 5, 2010
Dubbed “the rock stars of entrepreneurship” by Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm, Jeff and Rich Sloan share their wealth of wisdom with viewers via their DVD, StartupNation: Open for Business with the Sloan Brothers, releasing in North America on August 10 through traditional, online and digital outlets. The 90-minute show, adapted from their recently aired national Public TV special, addresses the fears, questions and complexities of starting and growing a successful business. The Sloan Brothers provide step-by-step instruction on how to develop a basic business plan, raise funding and create the all-important marketing strategies for business growth.
Add to that their “Two-Minute Drill” segment—where audience members throw out business ideas and the Sloans provide feedback on issues like branding, licensing and patents—and viewers have an entertaining and informative show geared toward anyone thinking of becoming their own boss!
“People tend to get intimidated by the process of starting a business,” says Jeff, who resides in metro Detroit, Michigan. “As long as we demystify it, as long as we strip away the fear and replace it with information, business actually becomes something that’s pretty straight forward. We believe that anyone can start a business, and we believe that everyone should start a business.”
California resident Rich agrees. “To have the opportunity to turn people on to the extraordinary life you can live as an entrepreneur, as a business owner, as a contributor to our society through business, and doing it in a way that is self-made and part of the American dream, it’s pretty gratifying,” he says.
The Sloans are model entrepreneurs, having started and grown many successful businesses. These include the world’s leading Arabian horse breeding operation, a consumer products import company and an early-stage venture development and financing firm that has infused over $60 million into financing fast-growing technology companies.
In 2002, the duo launched StartupNation®, the ultimate resource for starting a company with broadcast, online, print and event channels providing access to experts in the field. Their website, www.StartupNation.com, has 250,000 monthly users and over 175,000 pages of business advice, networking opportunities, professional group forums and podcasts. They also penned StartupNation: Open for Business (Doubleday).
Today’s economic challenges, weakening of job security and high unemployment rates make StartupNation: Open for Business with the Sloan Brothers a must-see DVD for people who have lost their jobs, hate their jobs or simply are considering launching their own businesses. And the brothers have one message to shout out loud and clear: “If you’ve been waiting for your chance, the time is NOW.”
