In order to stay motivated and on track with your small business, you need goals that are the right fit. Goals too high will never be reached. Goals too low will never challenge you to your potential.

If a small business emulates another businesses way of cutting costs, they will be able to do in a shorter period of time.

Weekday Dot-Commer, Weekend Farmer? At first, the resume reads like a gag – Programmer, Dot-com Entrepreneur AND weekend Hobby Farmer? True, an odd combination for most, but David Bryant is living his dream. By day he and his wife Kim manage their high-tech firm in rural Virginia. They play the roles convincingly, with Dave as lead programmer cranking away at his laptop until the wee hours and Kim handling sales calls and customer demonstrations via state-of-the-art teleconference tools. If not for the unusual setting of their workplace, a renovated 100 year old country home in the sleepy town of Lovingston, Virgina, one could easily be convinced they were observing a Silicon Valley operation…with one major distinction.
