8 Simple Secrets for Small Business Owners


	Working with small business owners over many years, authors Steven Hilferty and Tom Leal discovered characteristics common to successful small businesses. Their discoveries led to The Success Target as a way to show small business owners what they need to know to be able to grow their companies-or simply to stay in business.		The Success Target™



	Steven Hilferty, co-founder of 8 Secrets Groups, has worked with clients ranging from startups to Fortune 500. As a strategic and financial consultant for a variety of firms, he saw that many dedicated business professionals could not cope with all the challenges of their leadership roles. Steve worked with these professionals to build the leadership skills they needed to become--and stay--successful. He created Silicon Valley Coaching to place coaches in executive suites in the Bay Area.		Steven Hilferty




	Tom Leal, co-founder of 8 Secrets Group, has successfully coached business owners, managers and supervisors since 1988--before there was such a thing as a "business coach." He worked with clients so they could manage change, improve inter-personal communications, and build effective business plans. He has coached both one-on-one with key employees and with the entire organization of a small business, sometimes in groups between 15 and 50 employees as one time.		Tom Leal
