For those of you who read us here weekly (and for those who don’t either), I thought that I’d follow up on a post from 4 months ago or so, on two new online entrepeneurs over at uncorkedventures.com, an online wine club and store.

I hate it when people think just because they have a fancy job title that it qualifies them automatically as a leader. We don’t see this issue too much with small businesses, but more with your big brand businesses. So what if you’re the CEO, President, Director of whatever – if you don’t have what people gravitate towards, then you really have no power with the company you are supposed to be in charge of. We see more people flock to those that are the true leaders of a company because they possess the knowledge, right character and the simple fact that they care about people without having the big fancy title. This makes them the authority figure that is going to make the big boss sweat. Big brands need to take another lesson from the small business owners on this one. If you truly want to be the go to person in your company here are a few things you will need to know.

This is a story about risk, but a bit of background is necessary, so please bear with me through the first paragraph.

Eleven years ago, when The YPS Group was launched, “we” made a strategic decision to focus on serving small to mid size customers, from $5 to $500 million in revenue. “We” also decided to stay small ourselves; to be a boutique consulting business; to not hire any employees and to use contractors sparingly. “We” are still here. (OK, OK, “I” am still here…), proving, at a minimum that the strategy is at least valid Read More
Here's an opportunity for small business contractors with a background in IT. The U.S. State Department is looking for help with "planning, architecture, engineering and documentation" for consolidation of its data center. Work will include "hardware and software evaluation and recommendations, configuration management system design and implementation, physical server virtualization and transition, and local area network administration support for server transition and consolidation." If any of this sounds like something your company can do, check out the links to the initial announcement to enter into the competitive bid process Read More
First, there are some businesses that I would certainly recommend that you avoid. Those would be businesses with a low or declining demand for its products or services; those with a start-up investment that puts your entire future at high risk; and those that you know absolutely nothing about or do not enjoy. So what does that leave Read More
