You can easily relate to this if you look at the banking community or the telecommunication industry. The options and the relationships between these industries and small business changes daily. So, as small business owners keep their eye on the ball, the playing field around them is changing. To someone employed in the corporate world, the answers to these questions are obvious. Of course you should keep up, attend training sessions and get ahead.

It's not a tough decision to attend seminars paid for by your employer during time which is also paid for by that same employer.
