New Year’s Eve can be a reflective time for anyone, but especially for small business owners. In addition to all the personal resolutions, you have many for your business as well. For many small business owners, the line between ‘Personal’ and ‘Business’ blurred such a very long time ago.
Here are some articles I have written in the past few months, which might be related to your resolution for the New Year:

Happy New Year’s!
It’s Monday morning and I’m enjoying a cup of Joe and ESPN. Then my morning is torn from me with one TV commercial…
Hewlet Packard (HP) has decided in their great wisdom to get in the logo and web design market. Yup, you can now have HP design a new logo for you. You know HP, the maker of printers and such. Now they are branding, web and logo designers.
Sorry, I just threw up my cup of Joe. What the *@&* is HP doing extending their brand into the logo and web design world? Are they crazy? Nuts? On crack?
How many of these big companies have to learn the hard lesson that you can’t be everything to everyone. Do they think that because they sell printers that they should now be graphic and web designers?
And of course HP has priced their “design” services from $99 and up. Lots of strategic value in there I’m sure.
Damn, now I have to go make a new cup of Joe. Thanks HP, you morons!

I found this cartoon on cartoonbank.com . It reads: “Here, perhaps you’d like one of our brochures on how we don’t give loans to people like you.” (Loan officer to man.)”
I like this cartoon because it reminds me why I love being able to provide small businesses with alternative financing options. To see what I’m talking about, you can read more from my small business finance blog.
