Working with small business owners over many years, Steve Hilferty and Tom Leal identified characteristics common to successful small businesses.

In 2002, Steve and Tom started working together, once they realized they shared a passion for helping small businesses. Soon, they discovered new ways of doing business that were better for everyone in a company, and began training and certifying business coaches around the world.

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.

Steve and Tom recently co-authored a ground-breaking book, 8 Simple Secrets for Small Business Owners, which provides advice in the chaotic world of business.
