SBAM VIP member Diane Hartwell owns Little Blessings Childcare Center with three locations in the Lansing area. Diane and her daughter Helen talk with Michael Rogers on the SBAM Weekly Podcast about the keys to keeping their business vital while restricted by the COVID-19 crisis. “Stay positive, keep that connection,” Diane says. “That’s what makes a small business person successful, the connection to the community. Of course, I cater to the children but the adults are part of it too.”
The Small Business Association of Michigan is the only statewide and state-based association that focuses solely on serving the needs of Michigan’s small business community. We have been successfully serving small businesses like yours in all 83 counties of Michigan since 1969. We’re located in Lansing, just one block from the Capitol.
Our mission is to help Michigan small businesses succeed by promoting entrepreneurship, leveraging buying power and engaging in political advocacy. When small businesses band together through the Small Business Association of Michigan, they achieve more than they could on their own.
Our 26,000+ members are as diverse as Michigan's economy. From accountants to appliance stores, manufacturers to medical, and restaurants to retailers, what unites the SBAM membership is the spirit of entrepreneurship…a spirit that drove you to start and continue to operate your own business because you believe you can do something better than anyone else is doing it!
