As a small business owner, employee or entrepeneur,  you have inherent advantages and disadvantages. You can become more successful in business using timeless strategies gleaned by Becky Sheetz from the General Sun Tzu's 'Art of War'. You can apply strategies and tactics gleaned from from the battlefield in  your small business - to outmaneuver, partner or beat - to win against the  BIG boys!

This dynamic and eye-opening workshop highlights pitfalls and success attributes that are most common among small businesses, leveraging the inspiring and empowering insights from the classic, The Art of War, written by the Chinese general Sun Tzu over 2,000 years ago. 

The Art of War has inspired military, political, and business leaders across the world with its brilliant strategies for prevailing against opponents. At the core of this classic treatise is the message that sledgehammer approaches can backfire, and size alone does not guarantee victory. Strategy, positioning, planning and leadership matter, making Sun Tzu’s teachings perfect for small business owners and entrepreneurs in fierce competition for customers, market share and talent.

Sheetz helps small businesses succeed leverage recurring themes from Sun Tzu's 'Art of War' including tenacity, timing and decisiveness . You will learn strategies and tactics from the insights of the master strategist Sun Tzu in the ‘Art of War’ to get what you want. At the end of the workshop, you will come away with new insights into your competitive advantages, and how to hone and use them to catapult your small business, whether solo or with employees.

The Art of War for Small Business is the first major book to apply Sun Tzu’s wisdom to the small business arena. Featuring inspiring examples of entrepreneurial success, the book’s 12 timeless lessons reveal how to:

  • choose the right ground for your battles
  • prepare without falling prey to paralysis
  • leverage strengths while overcoming limitations
  • strike competitors’ weakest points and seize every opportunity
  • focus priorities and resources on conquering key challenges
  • go where the enemy is not
  • build and leverage strategic alliances

Big companies may deploy overwhelming forces, but small companies can outsmart, outmaneuver, and out strategize larger adversaries to capture markets, serve unmet needs, and emerge victorious.
