I’ve found myself suggesting these two websites several times over the last few months and I thought it would be worthwhile to mention them here.
The two websites that are helpful for entrepreneurs: Quick MBA and Launch in a Day.
Quick MBA isn’t particularly quick in that it covers so many facets of a business. But it will give you more insights to areas where you may have just a little bit of knowledge and a lot of questions.
Launch in a Day gives you step by step instructions on how to get going with your new business and is written by Denise Easterling, a friend of mine who is a CPA, has successfully launched, grown and sold several businesses and now is sharing her knowledge as an instructor at KSU.
The marketing section of Launch in a Day is all about the website. In 2013, doing business without a website seems like just a hobby. In years past you needed so much more: an office, business card, telephone, fax machine, printed catalog, and full time employees. Of course marketing is much more than a website, but for getting started, it is a strong first step!
What other websites should I suggest to people who are starting their own business? Please leave your suggestions in the comments below. Also, please use your real name so I know you aren’t spamming! :-) Thanks!
