Small business expert Andy Birol talks to us about growing a small business — including during times of succession and in turn-around situations.

Andy is a colorful guy in addtion to being a fount of knowledge about small businesses. Hear what he has to say about how small business owners should find their “highest and best use” — that is, spend their time on what really matters in growing their busineses.

Hear also his comments on the “C Word” — China. Andy says every small business needs to consider not only the outsourcing threat of China, but also the great opportunity China presents to Western companies.
