Small business success is really quite predictable because there are certain things you can and must do if you want to be successful. Most of us know when we're doing something that isn't working. This Tweet popped into my head when I read on a pickup truck "Some Assembly Required Handyman".

In the classic movie "Wizard of Oz" we discover the person behind the curtain differed greatly from the persona of the Wizard. Does the image portrayed by your small business start-up differ from or match you as a person?

If you operate online you either have or will create an "Opt-In Offering" to build your list. Up till now there was no easy way to quickly "step out from behind the curtain" and reveal your true personality. Today, thanks to Social Networking, its fast and easy to rev

This group is another example of the many social networks. Although the eventual goal is more of a physical group than online, it is still part of the ever-increasing world of social networking. I have found online social networking to be beneficial and some of them are just wasting my time. I now use facebook (thanks Amber for the suggestion) to connect with people in ways that I can't on linkedin and don't want to myspace.
