Beginning next year, traditional incandescent light bulbs (that’s right, Thomas Edison’s invention from 1879) will start to disappear from store shelves in an effort to save energy, reduce waste and use more environmentally-friendly products. Consumers will have two options moving forward: compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) and light-emitting diodes (LEDs).

Embarking on a new business venture or project can often be a difficult and stressful period for a business owner.

One of the more interesting trends we've been following over the last few years is the rapid growth of small business media coverage.  The main reason for the jump in coverage is the growing popularity of small business, which is leading to a growing audience for small business content.  The Internet and new media are, of course, another reason for the increased coverage.  New media has created the opportunity for entrepreneurs to create new on

One of the most uncomfortable situations at work is when two co-workers don't get along -- and you somehow get caught in the middle. Perhaps each person comes to you at different times to try and get you on his or her side. Heather might say, "Can you believe what Brad said in the meeting?

Many times we spend so much time and energy on finding clients that we fail to see other equally as important aspects of marketing our small businesses. One of those aspects is the way we introduce ourselves and our businesses. As a small business owner, you need to separate yourself from all of the other small businesses out there vying for your clients.

Laughing all the Way to Work

When dealing with meetings a good question to ask yourself is what is your role in it? Are you the leader or are you just providing your boss's availability? If you are organizing the meeting, then you are responsible to send the initial email out requesting the participants to attend. You will need to give them as much information as possible so they can make an informed decision about attending.

I may have been wrong about procrastination. Well, not really wrong.
