Small Business Owners - Do not Neglect Existing Customers to Attract New Ones
"Heather - Good question. There is a always a need to do external marketing to attract new customers. My point is you do not want to do it at the expense of existing customers. Many times I have come across a situation where customers who have been loyal for number of years are denied special promotion because they are targeted only at new customers. Just imagine the feeling you would get when hearing this, especially when you have done business with the company and spent significant amount over number of years."Strengthen Your Small Business by Using Subcontractors
"Excellent suggestion. Subcontractors not only reduce the cost for small business owners, but it also provide flexibility by not having to hire employees full time when you are not sure about the demand. Having proper agreement, NDA and proper understanding of the expectations are keys to success when hiring subcontractors. "26 Tips to become a Better Leader
"Victorino - Excellent list. My favorite is #19. A true leader is someone who inspires others to do something that they would not otherwise. Look at the examples in history - Gandhi, Martin Luther King. and so on. All of them I would consider as true leaders and had this quality."Why Transparency Supports Healthy Organizational Culture
"Excellent topic and something that applies to both large and small companies. When you have open and transparent culture it encourages people to come forward with new ideas as well as challenge the ones that may potentially hurt the organization in the future. The lack of transparency only encourages gossips and guesswork, which is bad for any company."5 Ways to Save Money for Your Small Business
"Ivan - Excellent points. I particularly like the last one - Negotiate. It's amazing how much you can save just by asking vendors to provide better price. In many cases it doesn't even require much effort. I would also add that you should look into buying used equipments, furniture, etc. especially when you are just starting out. This can save you significant amount without sacrificing much."How to Take Smart Risks to Improve Your Business
"Couldn't agree more. If you are not willing to take calculated risk you don't belong in the entrepreneur / business community. It's how you manage those risks and learn from failures that inevitably occur once in a while that determines whether you will be able to succeed or just stagnate, or even fail."Subscribe

Why it’s Okay to Be Lazy
"I would use a different term than Lazy to describe the second type of laziness. These people work in order to relax and enjoy their hard earned money. And yes, it is ok to be that type of lazy and yes, you don't want to do it half-ass. If you are going on a vacation (or become lazy) put all the work away and enjoy your vacation. Just be prepared to get back to wok when it is over."
