Join Me For: Choosing the RIGHT Online Software
Mar 22nd
These days, more and more small businesses and entrepreneurs are jumping on the “cloud bandwagon.” And why shouldn’t they? After all, there are several advantages in doing so. Just think about it. . . speed of implementation; ability to scale the business despite lacking internal tech expertise; lower costs; relief from tech headaches enabling you to concentrate on strategy and core competencies; and, arguably, fewer security issues you have to worry about.
Those advantages were explored in a webinar I presented on March 9, 2011 titled, “In the Cloud: 5 Reasons to Move to Online Software.” In that webinar, I polled those participating and was pleased to learn that almost 80% are already using cloud apps in the form of online banking. Significant percentages were using other online software services. In short, the small biz folk attending seemed to be receptive to online software.
With that in mind, I am delighted to continue the discussion about cloud computing and software as a service (SaaS). On Wednesday, March 23, 2011 at 2:00 pm EST (New York time), I am going to be delving even deeper into this topic in a webinar I’m presenting for the Verizon Small Business Center, called “How to Choose the RIGHT Online Software.” The information will include:
- Reliability: Is the vendor reliable as a “partner” of sorts?
- Cost: Have you considered “total cost of ownership?”
- Support: Will the support provided meet your needs?
- Integration: Will the App work with existing software?
- Security: Will you be more secure (or less) in the cloud?
Join me there:
WHEN: 2PM EST (New York time)
WHERE: Register here and join me, it’s FREE. (P.S. If you can’t make the live webinar, no problem. It will be taped and archived and you can watch the replay.)

Invitation to join the triiibe
Nov 1st
If you read and got something out of Tribes or Linchpin, I’d like to extend a free invitation to join the private Ning group I’ve been running for the last two years. There are 10,000 members, and hundreds of very active, very smart, very generous people there all the time.
It’s password-protected and non-anonymous. No pitching or networking. The purpose of the site is to discuss and encourage and connect. It’s not for everyone, but if you’re interested, I invite you to give it a try. The only cost is having read a copy of either book before you join.
The application is here. Please read the short intro carefully, because there’s just no way to make exceptions to the three simple rules listed. Thanks for reading.

Get Fired Up at BizTech Day: Join Me
Sep 6th
I’m excited to tell you about BizTechDay, which is coming up in 3 cities:
Seattle – September 18, 2010
New York – September 24, 2010
San Francisco – October 23, 2010
I’ll be attending and speaking at BizTechDay in San Francisco. I would love to see you there at that event.
BizTechDay is an intensive one-day conference founded by Edith Yeung, a young entrepreneur herself. I met Edith in New York earlier this year at the Small Business Summit. She told me how she started the event in San Francisco, but this year has expanded it to 2 additional cities. Her energy is inspiring and she’s such an interesting person — I knew I wanted to get to know her and learn about BizTechDay.
There are a lot of conferences out there. Although this will be my first year at BizTechDay, I can tell it’s going to be different, because of the emphasis on learning from other entrepreneurs — especially those in technology — who tell you how they grew or are growing their businesses. You can learn from people who’ve “been there, done that.” And the networking opportunities look awesome.
Expect to get fired up by stories, ideas and strategies of other inspiring entrepreneurs. I enjoy events like this because it gives me a chance to meet in person the people I’ve connected with online through social media like Twitter. So if you plan to attend the San Francisco event, I will look forward to meeting you there.

SBA Russian Ministry Join Forces to Strengthen Economic Ties and Support SMEs in Both Countries
Aug 13th
Washington (PRESS RELEASE – August 10, 2010) – The U.S. Small Business Administration and the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation have agreed to work together to strengthen bilateral relations in the area of small business development in both countries. The parameters for cooperation are spelled out in a Memorandum of Understanding signed by representatives of both governments under the U.S.-Russia Bilateral Presidential Commission established by Presidents Obama and Medvedev in July 2009 to “reset” the relations between the two countries.
“SBA enthusiastically supports the President’s initiative to improve relations with Russia.” said SBA Administrator Karen Mills. “We are proud to contribute to this essential diplomatic effort through this memorandum of understanding with the Russian economic ministry, which will allow us to exchange experiences and best practices on small business development.”
The MOU sets the stage for the exchange of experiences in several areas, among them:
. methods and mechanisms of support for small and medium enterprises
. mechanisms of support for export-oriented enterprises
. government (federal, state, local) support of small and medium enterprises
. sources of small business finance
. job creation, human capital development and fighting unemployment
The document, signed March 23, 2010, in Moscow, will be in force through December 31, 2012 and may be extended for two additional years by mutual consent. As part of the follow-up activities, a Russian delegation of government and non-government representatives will visit the United States in August. The trip will include participation at a science and technology policy conference in New Hampshire, visits to innovative small businesses in New England and a meeting at SBA headquarters in Washington, D.C., to discuss policy environment for innovative small businesses and the implementation of the MOU.
