Growth is always a hot topic for entrepreneurs and small businesses on the move. Inc. magazine has joined UPS to host a series of events with the common theme, Delivering Growth. CEOs from the magazine’s 5000 list offer personal and financial tips on growing businesses.

Small business owners in Atlanta and Houston have already learned how to develop joint ventures, expand products and services and successfully market their brand. The next live event will be in San Diego on December 13 to discuss Delivering Growth Internationally. Panelists will share how to find resources for export and custom regulations. If you can’t make it to California, you can join the session online at: www.inc.com/upslive.

The CEOs are sharing personal stories about managing risk while in pursuit of growth. They address topics such as accessing capital (with and without banks), overcoming cultural barriers for international growth and maintaining a reputation for quality in the midst of fast growth.

Panelists are leaders of fast-growth companies, including PopLabs, Jurlique, Ludus Sports, eCardio Diagnostics, SpeakEasy and Abukai. Some of the panelists are former executives at Fortune 500 companies, and have since made the transition to the entrepreneurial community.

From the Atlanta event, moderator Lisa Calhoun describes how small business growth isn’t just about numbers.
