Interns Move Small Busines Forward
At Roundpeg, we love interns, so I was delighted when Lindsey Paho, a writer at Professional Intern offered to send us a guest post. If you’re one of those brave souls at the helm of one of the United States’ more than 5.6 million small businesses with employees other than yourself, you solve problems every hour. Some of these problems have become routine, but others loom large, such as how to expand without wrecking an already tight budget. Even more daunting is figuring out a way to grow your own knowledge base to effectively manage that small business when it’s not so small anymore....

Owning a business is about so much more then just what you started the business to do. In today’s guest post Brad Farris talks about what your job description really is.

Recently, I attended the Business Marketing Association’s February event. The speaker was John Luginbill of The Heavyweights, who discussed increasing your company’s value. One of the lessons I took away from his presentation was that all of us-CEOs, managers, and even entry-level employees-own our own company. The real lesson is that we all have a personal brand, and it’s up to us to decide how much that brand is worth.
