The Small Business News is our free monthly newsletter sent to all who have an interest in improving
the operation and profitability of a small business. The Small Business News began with the December 1999 issue and was originally titled, "e-retailer". Each month features a
link to a business article of the month from Tom Shay, as well as current
information to assist you in your business.
We
invite you to fill in the form below to add your name to the list
of our preferred website visitors. We will send to you on the first day of each month,
our free newsletter containing information about sales tips, tools
on our website, and books we have found that will help you improve your business. Mid-month, you will receive our Small Business Advisory; a short article with actionable business ideas.
As we have
archived all of the past issues of the Small Business News, we invite you to
look through them for information for your business.
Seems like today, everyone is a consultant for something. Most small businesses owners have likely received an email, phone call, or visit from someone wanting to sell the services of a consultant.
You might find the right combination of consultants (let's call them advisors) in your own neighborhood. And they would likely trade their advice for some advice from you. This month's Small Business Advisory explains how.
November has two special events tailored to small businesses. The first occurs in the third week of the month. It's the Great American Teach In Day. Your help will be needed and appreciated.
The second event is Saturday, November 28 - Small Business Saturday. Details of how to participate in each is in this month's newsletter.
Article of the Month
Approaching the end of the year, many small businesses start to consider their pay scale for 2027. With some small businesses, bonuses at the end of the year are a tradition. The article of the month shares ideas of how to approach payroll as the new year approaches.
Book of the Month
You are awesome at what you do. You are a small business owner and that takes a lot of bravery to do what you do.
Part of what you requires what Malcolm Gladwell calls, "thin slicing." Others refer to it as "gut feeling." The book of the month talks about the need to stop doubting your greatness.
All this plus the Internet Tool for Your Business and a staff incentive idea for your business.
