I found a couple good articles worth taking the time to read.
Management Craft has a two part series on planning for team greatness. I’ve been mostly on my own since the mid 90’s and one of the things I miss is working as a team. There is so much synergy to be created when working with other like-minded individuals. Part two will be published tomorrow.
The other interesting article is Determining How Much to Charge by NFIB. In fact the whole NFIB website is chocked full of information and resources directed towards small businesses.
Dane Carlson posted some great links this evening on on his Business Opportunities weblog.

From Business Opportunities Weblog:
Entrepreneurs are a bunch of real dreamers.
ONE fifth of businessmen and women spend around 25 hours per week dreaming up new business concepts, mainly outside the office, according to a survey out today.
This means eight weeks a year are spent on coming up with bright ideas.
However, many ideas never reach fruition, as only a third of entrepreneurs jot down ideas.
This is another reason why I need my PIM.
It’s good to be reminded once in awhile that small business owners sometimes spend too much time with busy-work and not enough time on strategic planning and “high-leverage marketing”.
Significant business growth is more about purposefully allocating resources than doing more, better, faster.
Make a List, Check it Twice is the latest article from Entrepreneur magazine reviewing the newest book by Guy Kawasaki. Guy is the legendary founder of Garage Technology Ventures, a VC firm in Silicon Valley, and the former chief evangelist of Apple Computer. He has founded two software companies and has helped more than 100 companies raise venture capital. This article is the ultimate startup checklist for entrepreneurs who want to avoid getting bogged down in theory and unnecessary details. The assumption is that the goal is to change the world-not study it. If your attitude is “Cut the crap and just tell me what I need to do,” then this checklist is for you.
