I’ve been a bit frazzled lately. Yesterday, I realized that my refrigerator was full of condiments but empty of real food. But the idea of going to the grocery store was almost overwhelming. I’d have to make a list, first off. And then, even after I had the food, I’d have to prepare it and clean up after myself. Sounded like a lot of work and, being already frazzled, I wasn’t in the mood for all that.

Small businesses often focus on how much money they are going to make, the amount of turnaround and, significantly, how much profit their business is going to generate. However, in looking at the bigger picture, many small businesses lose sight of the day-to-day cashflow of their business; which can cause major problems for both fledging and established businesses.

by guest blooger Peggy Vasquez. I remember sitting in an auditorium and hearing the speaker ask, “How many of you are leaders?” Surprisingly, very few hands went up. What holds us back from thinking of ourselves as a leader? Perhaps it’s the fear of failure or being accountable to ourselves and others. Or is it that if we are the leader we have to know all the answers?

Technology companies are, unfortunately, almost as well known for having poor customer service as they are for their actual products. Why is that? Small business expert Anita Campbell cited poor customer service for web apps as one of three key issues that needs to be overcome before cloud apps can become ubiquitous in small businesses. Shame on us web software companies for allowing an easy-to-fix item like this onto the list!

It can be done, though, with a good work plan in place and the right tools.

Probably the most frequent questions I get and that I see asked on the internet is what is appropriate work for an Administrative Assistant. You will rarely find any cohesive answers for this question, though, because the job description for any Administrative Assistant position will vary widely depending on the industry, the company, the department, and even the individual boss involved.

The Small Business Administration (SBA) should be commended for their help in sustaining the small business sector with their microloans. However, a recent report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) shows that the funds which should be distributed to businesses that need it, actually go to ineligible ones. The HUBZone certification which businesses need to qualify for a loan is a program which spans 13 years and is meant to help small business owners build companies in economically dis

Today’s article is a guest post from Wendy Stoneman. In my time with my current employer, I’ve been involved in training a few of our new admins. At some point in their first year they generally ask about training. Can they get some sort of training to improve their skills in a particular software program or office process? (Unfortunately, at our office the answer is “no”.).

The greatest investment you can ever make is investing in you! When you invest time and money to grow your skill sets, you will take that with you the rest of your life. No one can ever take that away from you. You might be thinking, "Well I've done pretty well for myself so far without a lot of training.". The world is a very different place today; the economic climate turned into a storm about 18 months ago and the future is unpredictable.
