Preparing Your Kids for Success
By Chris Crum - Tue, 07/08/2008 - 10:29am.
It seems that entrepreneurs are starting their careers younger all the time. As I mentioned a few months back, 30 young entrepreneurs were being recognized for their accomplishments in connection to the National Foundation for Teaching Entrepreneurship. Look at Carl Ocab, who started teaching people how to make money online at the age of 13.
Are You Spending Enough Time Learning?
By Chris Crum - Wed, 07/02/2008 - 10:55am.
It's an age old saying, but it will never change. Without trying to sound like an NBC public service announcement, the more you know, the more you will be able to use that knowledge in your own life, or in this case, business. A business owner's time is limited, but some of that time should be used for learning. Always. Spend some time (each day if possible) just reading and learning about new tactics, strategies and trends related to your niche.
Trouble With Finances?

If finances aren't your thing and you are looking into starting your own business, you might be interested in this piece of news. The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has announced that it will offer two free online finance courses for small business owners to help them with basic finance and borrowing. The magic word there of course is "free". The fact that they are online isn't bad either. Free courses that you don't even have to leave the house for. What do you have to lose?

Are Your Trainees Ready to Take the Reigns?
By Chris Crum - Thu, 05/22/2008 - 1:39pm.
New hires have to get their feet wet sometime, but what steps are you taking to ensure that they are really ready to do so before you turn them loose? This will be more of a factor in some jobs than in others. If you are going to put the hire out there with the customers, make sure they know what they are doing (at least to a reasonable extent).
Help Out the School Team, Get Some Advertising
By Chris Crum - Wed, 05/14/2008 - 1:59pm.
Since I've been talking about offline advertising tactics today, I'll follow up with this idea. Extracurricular activity programs at schools (especially high schools) are always in need of funding.Fundraisers are held all the time for all of the different high school sports, the yearbook, etc.
Student Entrepreneurs - Pay Attention
By Dharmesh Shah - Mon, 05/05/2008 - 8:25am.
I did the opening presentation at MIT's Underground 2008 event for student entrepreneurs. My hat's off to Albert Park and his colleagues for organizing a great event. We need more of this kind of stuff in the Boston/Cambridge area to bring student entrepreneurs together with others.
Is Every Day Earth Day for YOUR Business?
By Chris Crum - Tue, 04/22/2008 - 10:45am.
If every day is Earth Day for small businesses, maybe it's time to ask yourself if this applies to your own business. Let's face it. Not all businesses are out to help the environment. I'd be interested in seeing the actual percentage of small businesses that are creating environmentally friendly products or those that are dedicated to actually cleaning up the environment.
So Where's Your Website?
By David A. Utter - Mon, 04/14/2008 - 9:56am.
Not everyone succumbed to the advances of the last decade and tossed a website onto the Internet. Small business owners thinking of taking the plunge may wish to learn more first.
