About Us > Press Release / News

Jeff Peevy, AMAM If you are reading this, you are likely an employee or owner of a small business, because our industry is an industry of small businesses.  We often think of ourselves as "victims" by being a majority of small businesses. The truth is, we are not so unique, as most industries in our nation are made up of small businesses.  According to the Small Business and Enterprise Council, 89.6% of U.S. businesses have less than 20 employees.  Small businesses are the backbone of our economy and with few exceptions are faced with growing liability issues, the momentum of technology changes and employee turnover.  Sound familiar?  Take heart, since there are nearly 26 million businesses in the U.S. like yours, you are not alone, and there's a lot of resources and support to help you be successful.  We intend to be one of them

Jeff Peevy, AMAM "A person who won't read has no advantage over one who can't read."  No one is sure who first said this, but the fact that you're taking the time to read this is a sign that you read.  I do not mean "read" because you are literate, but that you read because you are curious and want to learn. I make that statement because some people only read what they must and rarely read to develop and grow.  There is a huge personal and professional distinction between people who embrace reading and those that don't.  Reading is a form of networking and networking with one another is one of the most powerful things in the universe.  So I encourage you to read on, my reading friend, read on

Jeff Peevy, AMAM Special thanks for all of the great feedback from last week's first Management Minutes email!  We are always open to ideas to make it better so feel free to contact us at [email protected].  Keep it coming, and if you have anything to be considered as content to this weekly email, send it to us.   I have been in the industry 37 years and involved in our industry's training and education segment for 23.  I am proud of the professional growth I have witnessed within our industry and want to ensure AMi supports the success and professional development of the smart, hard-working people of our industry.
