Grow Your Business

Today, we launch Larry on Business, my new blog designed to help you, as small- and at-home business owners:

• Earn more money
• Increase sales
• Improve your product or service
• Reduce overhead
• Have fun doing all of the above

Let me share an example. Dave loved doing stained-glass. He had a passion for it. He wanted to share his passion with others. His stained-glass business had drifted along, but he had to augment his income with another job. He got involved with one of our self-employment groups. He took our workshop. Six months later he wrote "I've been involved in your program for six months and have tripled my business".

Today, Dave teaches stained-glass to others. His works now adorn symphony halls, commercial buildings and homes. He publishes a newsletter and loves his life.

We hope to help many of you do the same. Our blog will focus on the fundamentals of business: planning, sales and marketing, accounting and financing, operations, legal, human resource management, growth, exit strategies, and more. While I will author many of the blogs, we will also feature content prepared by others just for this blog.

We will publish the blog on Fridays each week. We hope that you will enjoy the blog. Your comments will also enhance the blog. We hope that you share your experiences and reactions to the topics. We invite you to share your success stories, but also to be willing to share a challenge--and respond the comments posted by others. This blog will be better the more you get involved.

It will be even better if you also invite friends to contribute.

Our goal is to help you grow your business, increase profits, and enhance your personal satisfaction about owning a business.
