Outsourced CFOs Help Businesses Grow and Avoid Pitfalls | CFOwise
"Hi Ken, It really does seem to address a pain point for a lot of starting or midsized companies though I guess I also wonder about the benefit of outsourced executive talent of all kinds even for downsizing established businesses. This is sort of in the human talent area what ideas like cloud computing are doing in the field of software, making it possible to become less self-contained in areas outside a company's core competency."Is Your Internet Marketing Generating Hot Leads?
"Responses to Internet marketing, into which I would lump blogs and other social media, seem to fall into at least two categories, those interested in more information about your service or product and those who have obviously already made up their mind except perhaps for some minor clarification on price or some other detail. There also, of course, are some people who will peripherally interact by leaving a comment or posing a question. It seems to me that the benefit of social media and most particularly blogs is that they answer a good many more of these questions and tell the story of your product, service or expertise thus delivering more of the people who have already made up their minds."7 Steps to Selling Your Business
"Hi Tony, Really helpful and I think also of interest to startups who want to build a business that can be sold some day as opposed to just a form of freelancing based only on the owner's expertise. Obviously, the point is to build a revenue generator hopefully with a process that can be learned and repeated by a new owner whether or not the original entrepreneur is still involved."18 Top Industries in Which to Start a Business
"Ethan, One exception here in the candy department is in the world of chocolate. I have no idea if the same goes for other parts of the country or the world, but in eastern Pennsylvania the small chocolatier, basically a person who makes confectionaries out of chocolate, can become a viable small business operator with considerable independence. I can think of one small city in Pennsylvania in particular where several of these small businesses operate quite successfully usually as single proprietorships with perhaps a choclatier working alone or with a handful of other employees. Than there are the slightly larger brands that might employ several choclatiers, sales people and have somewhat more area in terms of a shop front. All are far lower on the food chain than giants like, say, Hershey, but all seem viable business models. I am not certain what the investment requirement is for such an operation but know it is a business that relies mainly on the skill and training of the chocolatier. Another thing to consider in the wine/beer/liquor sector is the small specialty wine label and microbrewery revolution which have substantailly challenged the giants in the market in recent years.

Why the Bank Account Fools Most Entrepreneurs
"Ken, I would imagine all of this can also be important when calculating tax liabilities for end of year especially for startup businesses that are living virtually hand-to-mouth with cash flow in the beginning but may still be showing a profit."
