WWJ's Bill Stevens spoke with business consultant Randy Stafford who said, with the right tools and financing, Michigan is still a great place to launch your own business. "

I've been representing entrepreneurs for over 35 years, and there are a lot of really, really smart, capable people out there," Stafford said.
