Small Business: the Hidden Economy

Anita Campbell, CEO, SmallBizTrends.com is an online publisher focused on small business and entrepreneurs. Anita participates in Northeast Ohio's small business network, an expansive community of sole proprietors and small business owners.

Anita generously shares her insights and perspectives into what really makes regions and communities tick. She offers a thorough assessment and in depth view of the value entrepreneurs and small businesses bring to local and national markets.

Anita's story describes why she feels this network is overlooked and often unaccounted for, and how such a community of resilient leaders now generate a "flow of commerce" quite capable of re-invigorating the future of America and global enterprise.
