Grants For Minority Owned Small Businesses
May 6, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Some part of society by way of their history or their social strata has a disadvantage. It takes a lot of political will and economic influences to these parts of the society to be at par with others. These minority groups usually get help through their elected leaders which in the senate try to influence key political and economic initiatives.
Grant is direct financial contribution given to you business by the federal, state or local bodies. This contribution is free of any repayments and it is an added boost to your business, which in turn helps the minority rise above the disadvantage. The minority groups have millions of dollars available to them as grants and these minorities may be like African Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanics or Indian Americans.

Systems — Your Ticket To Freedom!
March 12, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Small business owners are famous for working hard to build their dream, but without effective systems in place, these dreams often turn into nightmares. Life becomes an endless, overwhelming to-do list — daily running ever faster on the proverbial gerbil wheel to catch up and keep up. They’re headed for burnout, yet taking time off can be tough.
If you had to take time away from your business, could someone step in and take over without facing confusing challenges and wasting time figuring everything out? Would the business falter or fail? Putting systems in place will free you up to step away when needed. In addition, when you want to sell or hand your business over to others, stepping in to run it will be easier, significantly increasing its value to a potential buyer.

Out Of Control Www Domains
February 4, 2008 | Leave a Comment
People take advantage of small business owners who leap into the online world without the knowledge to make proper choices. Registration of a www domain gives you a license for a set period of time, and must be renewed to retain control, so you do not own it. Don’t wait to be asked the next question “Do you control your website domain?” because twice in 2007 I designed custom websites for clients who lost control due to an uncooperative originating party who registered the domains in question.
