Triples Space for Entrepreneurs
| |
Recently completed renovations at the Hannah Grimes Center's 25 Roxbury Street building have tripled the size of its Business Incubator Program from 5 to 15 incubating offices. It has also created a new home for the Hannah Grimes Center.
"Construction of a new main floor creates a beautiful and extremely functional office space ideally suited for start-ups and small businesses that are ready to grow," said Mary Ann Kristiansen, Executive Director.
The offices include access to educational and business development programming, and critical support services such as high-speed internet - wired and wireless; secure 24/7 access to offices; a multi-media conference room; kitchenette and shower facilities; and a networked multi-function color copier/fax.
"Peer networking is an important aspect of a business incubator space," added Kristiansen. "Entrepreneurs often feel isolated. We help entrepreneurs engage, energize, and connect which increases their opportunities for success." Studies show that small businesses have a significantly higher success rate when they locate in a business incubator space.

Tools That Can Help When There Is Too Much on Your Plate
By David Freedman, Original Posted on NYTimes
| We all feel a bit disorganized and even overwhelmed at times. You know the feeling - crucial tasks are slipping between the cracks, you're not sure what needs to be done next, you're missing deadlines, other people aren't coming through with their pieces of the project. If you're feeling that way more than occasionally, you may need help from project-management and other task-organizing tools.
