MAP Your Path to GROW Your Business
Like anything else in life, if you’re thinking of starting a business, you should look to those who have gone before you. While you should take the time to learn from the successes of others, you should also spend time researching their mistakes. It’s reported that only 10 percent of new businesses will still be operating after five years. If you hope to be among that coveted 10 percent, here are common blunders that you should learn from: [Read more...]
My apologies to all my readers. I have people assisting me in restoring the hundreds of posts that are missing because of a hosting company server failure. Unfortunately, I had counted on them to manage backing up the site and although they claimed they would restore the site, there were apparently no usable backups.
We have been diligently manually restoring content because the only backup was more than a year old. We ask your patience as we train more people to help with the massive task of recreating 100s of missing posts and pages. Thank you.

With business competition becoming fiercer by the day, branding is quickly becoming one of the most important daily processes for businesses.

If you ever needed an example as to why you should be publishing content you care about on a platform you 100% control, look no further than MySpace.
In the latest attempt to pivot, MySpace removed the blog feature from the site. Why they would do this knowing full well that it would annoy their existing users is really besides the point.

If you are publishing on any platform your content is a prisoner to the whims of a business outside your control. Whether you use Tumblr, Facebook, Instagram, MySpace your content could go away at any time.
If you are a content publisher you can avoid this doomsday scenario by developing a publishing workflow where content originates on a device you control.
Social Media sites and photo sharing platforms are great tools for exposing your content and brand to the world. Use them like any tool; assume they will break and have a backup plan if they do.

Without a doubt, the best way to fund small businesses is through your own private investment or non-repayable grant funding. Putting your own money into the business means you don’t need to answer to anyone and you are free to make decisions good or bad. Non-repayable grant funding is obviously cheaper and carries less risk than investing your savings so if you have the time to enter into a lengthy grant application process, you could benefit from much lower costs and a risk free venture.
