   Greater Prairie Business Consulting, Inc.’s “Small Business Owner’s Covid-19 Survival Tool Kit” is the most comprehensive resource available on the Internet for small businesses looking for ideas to succeed during the Covid-19 crisis. 

   Greater Prairie Business Consulting, Inc.'s CEO James J. Talerico, Jr. put together this “Covid-19 survival tool kit” for SMEs during the pandemic, from his Bloomberg Talk Radio appearances and the articles he wrote for several different blog sites.

   This tool kit was offered “pro-bono” to small business owners through the SBA’s Small Business Development Center in Plano, Texas, to members of the Institute of Management Consultants, to his clients and prospects, and to the business community for just $19.95 via a press release that went virial on 6/25/2020.  It includes free updates, a 100% satisfaction guarantee, and is available on his company's web site.

   This information includes everything from practical advice for businesses that have struggled to reposition their business to compete in the post Covid world to the latest digital strategies for succeeding in today’s marketplace.  The ideas shared in this Small Business Owner’s Covid-19 Survival Tool Kit are relevant to any type of business.

   The information assembled in this “Small Business Owner’s Covid-19 Survival Tool Kit” can, moreover, be viewed as a guide for businesses that have not created a “disaster plan” for their business.  Given the more frequent occurrences of natural and man-made disasters, disaster planning will, without question, continue to be an important topic for small businesses worldwide. 

   In short, the reason this “Small Business Owner’s Covid-19 Survival Tool Kit” is relevant internationally is that it is a comprehensive, unique, and pertinent resource – relevant both today and in the future - for successfully repositioning any small business in a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) world.
