A blog? What a great idea! Business is all about connections and your blog gives your former students a place to stay in touch with you and each other. As always, I am very grateful for your generosity in the sharing of your knowledge, resources and of yourself. This blog goes way beyond your classroom obligations and we all benefit as a result. I plan to check in on a regular basis to see what’s up and what’s new in your small business education world.
On that note, here’s something new that may be of interest to your readers - a series of free small business oriented webinars. Yesterday, I participated in my first one. If you don’t know, a webinar is an online training seminar - I didn’t know that until yesterday! It was called “Avoid the Top 10 Fatal Mistakes; Marketing Success for Your Small Business”. It was REALLY informative and fit perfectly with Martha’s current BUS95e Marketing and Advertising for Small Business class (which I am in).
The webinar hosting company is Vista Print, the free business cards people (www.vistaprint.com). Their webinars are free, not loaded with too much self-promotion and are very useful. Here are a few upcoming titles: Mar 4 - It’s All About Results; Postcard Marketing for Small Businesses
Mar 11 - Avoid the Top 10 Fatal Mistakes; Enable Success for Your Small Business
Mar 13 - Logo Design: How to Build Your Brand in Five MinutesYou can see the full schedule at:

BTW, you may remember from past class discussions that I’m a photographer (as a hobby). Well, I am currently taking pictures of the Edison High School band practices to document their efforts to compete in the Delta Band Fest in mid-March. The final product (I hope!) will be a photo documentary. You can check out some of the photos on MY blog at www.photoblog.com/bchat. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.So, cheers to you Martha and blog ya later!
