and Smith Gruppe, LLC in conjunction with the
Greensboro Public Library will offer a free, sixweek course on The Business Creation Model.
Classes will be held each Wednesday from 1:00
pm to 3:00 pm beginning November 6.
“Attendees will get clear and concise insight on
every step one needs to take in order to have
the correct data to comprise a legitimate
business plan,” states Antoine Smith, President
and COO of the Technology Center of the
Piedmont Triad, and Smith Gruppe, LLC.

3. Creating a strategic plan is the most important
steps for aspiring business owners. According to
the Small Business Association, only half of new
establishments survive five years or more.¹ Most of
the failures are due to the lack of planning pitfall.²
Smith is the class facilitator and creator of The
Business Creation Model. “This class is part of the
program offerings provided by the Technology
Center of the Piedmont Triad for small to medium
size businesses throughout the region for training
and development, on-going growth and strategic
planning, and for informative sessions on how
technology can increase your competitive
advantage in the marketplace,” states Smith.
