Growing Business

Hello again.

There are not many periodic print publications aimed at start ups and small businesses on the market today. This is probably due, in part, to the decline of printed medium and enormous growth in online content.
If you’ve not read Growing Business magazine, then I recommend that you take a look.
It is aimed specifically at small businesses and contains news, informative features and interviews with entrepreneurs who share their experiences and offer advice to others in business or those looking to start up on their own.

If you prefer internet based information sources, then Growing Business has just re launched its website, after a major overhaul (as usual, the link is below).
The website has the latest small business news, a number of “Sixty Second Guides” on specific topics, Entrepreneur TV – featuring more than 60 full-length interviews with successful entrepreneurs and information on business events happening around the country.
There is also a regular newsletter you can sign up to.

Whether your preference is printed publications or surfing the Internet, Growing Business is an excellent source of information for small businesses, I hope you find it useful.

If you so desire (and can afford to!) you can book Mike for a personal appearance from here, but there are a number of other free resources that may be of more interest.
