2011 - A Great Year For Startup Businesses

By Larry Jensen 

2011 will be the ideal year for small firm start ups. The US economy is awakening slowly as a giant from a deep slumber. It moves slowly at first, gradually waking up with it's morning cup of coffee, but at some point in 2011 it will take off like an Olympic runner and it is time to start planning now if you want to catch the momentum of that first push.

 

It doesn't take quite a bit of money to start your own organization, only a little creativity, willingness to work hard, and an eye for what is needed in your area.

House Rules - Ten gentle suggestions for keeping the domestic seas tranquil

New Year's resolutions have always been good for Stonyfield Yogurt. Our sales invariably spike in January as a result of nearly universal vows to shed that extra 20. The season inspires people to set down concrete plans for improving themselves-and their relationships.

 

In that spirit, I approached my husband, Gary, for help with composing a list of rules for entrepreneurs who aspire to a happy marriage and thriving family life. Some of the following derive from our own experiences, and some were offered by other entrepreneurial couples. (I've cast the entrepreneur as male and the spouse as female because that's our situation. But the rules apply equally when the reverse is true.)

Choosing Between Online and Offline Business Opportunities

The Internet has brought profound change on franchising. New concepts unimaginable a few years ago today deliver value to customers almost entirely through the worldwide computer network.

Rounding Up Staff Ideas
By Darren Dahl

Business owners are always on the hunt for new ideas- ways to cut costs, increase revenue, and improve products and services. Often the most cost-effective source of ideas is right in front of you.
