MM&I Institute - Learning That Inspires Action, Gets Results

Established in 2015, our MM&I Institute was inspired by over two decades of teaching business owners and their employees how to be effective strategists, operators and marketers day-in an day-out. It is at the heart of what makes us unlike any other firm serving small to mid-market business. Our training and education materials ensured plans get implemented and strategies are embraced.  Our learning is backed by validated tools and best practices that can be put into immediate use. 

In the mid 2000's, we intended to have guided more than 100,000 entrepreneurs across the nation by year-end 2008. In July 2008, our goal was achieved with more than 200,000 entrepreneurs across the country benefiting as a result of our founder's expertise and know-how informing and educating entrepreneurs through one-on-one consulting, training at Small Business Centers, countless events and on-location, as well as articles and columns published locally, regionally and nationally. Today, BizGrowth Inc's founder, Sherre' DeMao, is taking its knowledge and validated best practices across the country to millions, earning additional accolades as a Forbes Thought Leader.
