It’s hard to say how long a business must invest before there is a return. In the federal government sector, the SBA usually quotes 20-24 months. In private sector it is usually much shorter. For EMI, the investment in Greater Women’s Business Council membership has been a win from day one!

Certainly not, and if you do have a cavity, waiting to seek help can make the final resolution more painful and expensive. Well, many business owners approach brand protection the same way: they wait until they actually have a problem to reach out to a trademark lawyer.

While half of that success comes from skills, professionalism, and hard work, the other half comes from just showing up. You can’t be in the right place at the right time if you don’t show up. WBENC’s regional and national meetings, summits, forums and conferences provide opportunities to show up.
