A small handful of you know that I was considering this idea. I needed a place to consolidate my thoughts, questions and ideas on being an entrepreneur in Maine. I also want to share with you things I have learned along the way. I am not even close to where I want to be, but I am for sure headed in the right direction and working my way to the goal/dream I have held for 15+ years now. I hope you will follow me and share your thoughts in comments as I work through day to day life living and working towards the ultimate in American dreams.

Small Business Blogs
It stands to reason that budding businesspeople would be attracted to Weblogs, those do-it-yourself publishing sites that embody the very spirit of entrepreneurism. What do blogs add to the small-business dialogue that a whole host of magazines, cable channels and Web sites don't? In addition to transmitting news, industry gossip and occasional rants, the best small business blogs offer interactivity, allowing readers to chime into the dialogue with their own bright ideas. There are, unfortunately, too many small business blogs peddling the same prosaic resources you can get from a simple google search. The better ones at least offer fresh insight on the mundane and first-hand accounts from the entrepreneurial front lines. -- Lea Goldman

Thank you for gathering this info! Friends & I have sat around over a bottle of wine many evenings and disscussed the "business" of being an artist, and what that means. Art is from the soul, a life not a living...right? Oh sure, some of it is apparent...you sell a work and make a profit it's a business, or you need to advertise and promote so it's a business...but still, some look down upon it as such...a dirty little capitalistic secret.
ReplyDeleteI've been in business for more than a decade...I still don't know the proper resources I should be exploring! Thanks for a place to learn a little.
