What happens when you take a successful small business owner and give them the tools to think bigger? The transformation can be extraordinary.

Most entrepreneurs reach a critical point where they've mastered the startup phase but feel stuck in day-to-day operations, unable to achieve the next level of growth. The Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program at Tri-C addresses this exact challenge through comprehensive executive education specifically designed for established small business owners.

Erika Hill, Executive Director of the program, explains how this unique curriculum differs from traditional business education. Rather than studying distant corporate case studies, participants directly apply business principles to their own operations. From leadership development to financial management, the program forces owners to step back and take a holistic view of their business—considering not just growth metrics but how business decisions impact their personal lives and long-term goals. The curriculum encourages participants to explore various growth paths, whether adding locations, developing complementary products, or entering new markets.

What makes this opportunity truly extraordinary is that it's completely free, funded by the Goldman Sachs Foundation with clear objectives: strengthen the economy by helping businesses increase sales and create jobs. Graduates consistently report that the program was life-changing, providing not just business skills but a powerful network that sustains them through both growth periods and economic challenges.
