07/15/2008 Staying ahead of the competition can
be an on-going struggle. While it is not healthy
for a company to focus too much time and attention
on the competition, it is important to stay
abreast of what your competition is doing. When
evaluating the competition, assess the industry
giants and companies closest to your space.
But be sure that you don't exclude the small
companies in your assessments. Sometimes a small
competitor can have innovative ideas or marketing
concepts, but may lack the capital to really
benefit from the concept. This may present you
with an opportunity.

07/08/2008 Small businesses and entrepreneurs often
repeat the same mistakes. If you are an entrepreneur,
the following is a list of critical mistakes
to avoid in your new venture:
1. Promising The World
Entrepreneurs will commonly make bold promises
that are often impossible to actually deliver.
It is important that you stay grounded in reality,
and only agree to things that you know you can
actually deliver.
2. Lack Of Discipline
Owning a business takes commitment and self-discipline.
Since you are the boss you probably won't
be disciplined for things like not showing up
for work on time... but such things will have
a negative impact on your business. It is important
that entrepreneurs treat their business just
like a real business, and not like a personal
hobby. Act professional, charge for your services,
and be accountable for the product or service
provided. Self-discipline is critical to being
self-employed.

:: Deal of the Day
Websites, Where to Find a Bargain?
07/01/2008 With the economy in a questionable state,
everyone is looking for a good deal. Savvy business
owners have jumped at the opportunity to carve
out a niche for themselves in the struggling
economy. Coupon and Deal-Of-The-Day websites
have become extremely popular. Everyone is getting
into the action, from large conglomerate websites
to small specialty shops, and many now have
some sort of Deal-Of-The-Day special where an
item is offered at a significant discount for
a specified and limited period of time. While
the Deal-Of-The-Day websites were originally
designed to capture impulse purchasers, many
financially-conscious penny-pinching shoppers
are now monitoring these sites regularly, in
search of good deals on products they might
need.
