Ah the smell of new pencils, clean chalkboards and the crisp paper of new notebooks!  It's Back to School time for kids of all ages and as a business owner, it's time to sharpen your pencil and prepare for times ahead.

Fourth quarter will quickly be upon us followed by the beginning of a new year. Now is the time to look forward regarding your business.

• Are you developing your marketing strategy for 2013? 
• Are you feeling discouraged because this year isn't going to close as you had planned? 
• Are you feeling uncertain about committing to new tools such as email marketing or social media?
