New Concept for Small Business

It’s not new NEWS that we are facing extreme challenges in this economic storm.  Businesses are looking for ways to keep from going under.  We are all looking for ways to cut cost, and lower our overhead.  The luxury of our 1500 square foot executive office may have to be put on the back burner to survive.

The Business Resource Center has developed a new concept for small businesses that may have to give up their full-time office.  This new concept is called “Office By The Hour” and what a buzz it’s making.

For only $8.00 per hour, you can come in and take care of your business needs without having to maintain a full-time office.  All the resources of your old office are provided, with none of the associated overhead cost. No copier lease payment, no monthly internet fee, no monthly utility bill.  It doesn’t take a Bill Gates to quickly realize this could be lifeline for a drowning business.

The Business Resource Center has made it simple to schedule your time by creating a website specifically for Office By The Hour.  Direct your browser to OfficeByTheHour.net and scroll to the bottom of the page.  Click the link for “Book It Now” and set your appointment.

Office By The Hour may be the saving grace many new businesses may need to keep their business alive during this economic storm.  Once you try it, you may be hooked.  Call the Business Resource Center for more details at (321) 433-2950.

Affordable Office.. Really?  Yes Really!

Looking to cut your overhead?  Who isn’t.  If you are like most small businesses in today’s business world, you are paying anywhere from $500 to $1,200 per month just for your office.  Add the cost of your copier lease ($200 per month), utilities ($300 per month), your receptionist ($1,400 per month), Internet ($80 per month) and your grand total is getting close to $2,000 per month… WOW! 
How long could your business survive if you were able to cut your overhead in half?  What if you could reduce your overhead from $2,000 per month to less than $500 per month.  Now you can… Really!
  
The Business Resource Center offers furnished offices for as low as $485.00 per month.  These offices include a receptionist, utilities, copier, internet, and a conference room.  If you could use an extra $1,500.00 to keep your business alive, you owe it to your business to at least see what they have to offer.  What do you have to loose?  Call the Business Resource Center at (321) 433-2950 for details.

LAID OFF?  Start your own Business.

Sounds Crazy Right… not to some experts… According to an article published on our world wide web by ABC news in the small business section last year, more and more people are taking their severance pay or savings and starting a business doing something they have always wanted to do.  According to the articles author Ron Scherer:

“Even as more and more large companies hand out pink slips, budding do-it-yourselfers are starting new businesses – some of them far different from the jobs they used to hold.”

I know it sounds crazy, but Google “laid off start your own business” and you will see.  Here are some tips to help you decide if starting your own business is right for you.

1. Choose a business you are passionate about.  Use the skills and resources you have at hand.
2. Create a small clear statement about what your plans are in this new business.
3. Take your business for a test drive.  Try your idea out on people you know and people you don’t know.

Sound Interesting?  Call the Business Resource Center to see if we can help you get started.

Look at the Ant...

Many times in business we get overwhelmed at the mountains we must climb to get our work done.  Especially as a small  business owner, we are often the chief cook and bottle washer. 
So what can we learn from the Ant?

If you have ever had one of those cool ant farms, think about what you saw.  You fill it with sand, dump in a bunch of ants and a week later, those little buggers have built a complex system of tunnels all over the place. 

If you were to tell those ants, build a city in this sand, they would probably say, are you crazy, that’s too much for me… but no...watch what they do.  Each little hard working ant picks up one piece of sand and takes it to the other side of the plastic box, then goes back and gets another, and another, and another.  When they are all done, surprise, they have built a colony.
If we can break down our tasks in to little grains of sand, and concentrate on getting that one simple task done before we move to the next, surprise, we will have our big project done, one grain at a time.
