SMB Nation Pocket MBA Academic Program
The SMB Nation Pocket MBA is an online certification course offered through Aspen University, that’s tailored to provide the business information you need to grow within your SMB market.  The curriculum draws from cutting edge business leaders and materials, focusing on essentials necessary to aggressively build a competitive market advantage, starting the day you complete the course! Why the SMB Nation Pocket MBA? Some companies cannot change in response to market disruptions.  Those companies die.  Other companies do respond, but only after the fact.  They survive, but they see their profits squeezed and their growth flatted.  Then, there are the long-term winners: companies that create their own market disruptions and thrive on the change.       "Dean" Brelsford on the SMB Nation Pocket MBA: "It’s no secret that someday, someway, I want to return to the academic community as a professor.  I’m delighted to announce that journey has started with my appointment as the 'Dean of Technology Program' at Aspen University.  I look forward to this role in addition to my day job as CEO of SMB Nation. More importantly, we are DELIGHTED and thrilled to announce our SMB Nation Pocket MBA program.  This is an online accredited academic certificate in “BusinessSpeak” that requires the completion of six rigorous courses taught by real instructors.  The academic credits are transferable if you plan to continue the full MBA program at Aspen University.  How cool is that? Why did we launch the SMB Nation Pocket MBA as a bona fide certificate that our tribe can earn?  We did it because the world is now full of SMB "kits" of different flavors and stripes and we wanted to distinguish our brand and offering.  We did it because I have a strong academic background, having taught at the vocational, undergraduate and graduate levels for 12+ years as an evening adjunct instructor.  We did it because YOU have communicated a hunger for on-going continuing education, and this professional certificate fulfils that demand!”    ~ Harry Brelsford      CEO, SMB Nation      Dean of Technology, Aspen University
