Small Business Resources

Too little time...too much to get done. This is the life of an entrepreneur.

Not only does a small business owner clean the bathroom, but they are the CEO. They may not be naturally good at all of these roles and have a steep learning curve. For instance, someone who is cleaning residential facilities or making homemade peanut butter, may not know a lot about marketing and it will take them a while to figure out what works best for their company.

If you are already busy looking after your accounting, getting new clients, and actually doing the work that you said you would get done, when do you have time to be strategic? And even worse, when do you have the time to gather the necessary information in order to ensure that your strategies are going to make sense?

This blog's focus is going to be to provide a central place for small business owners to find out what is happening out there. Topics in the upcoming weeks will include:

1. Technology (The current question is how new iPhone applications can help business and how social media can best be used)

2. Taxation (The current question is how HST will affect small business?)

3. Government grants and program updates (The current question is how and is the OSEB program changing?)

4. Economy (The current question is whether the recovery is real or not? And what new business to get into based on the current economy?)

5. Trends (The current question is what is the next big thing? And how small businesses can take advantage of this?)

Also, the blogroll will be an added source of information.

The mission is to make this one place to keep track of what is going on out there. Saving you time to focus on what is important...your business.
