Discussed by Alex Hinojosa
with EMSI Public Relations (www.emsincorporated.com)

Part 1 of 3

Due to the stagnant Obama economy, many people are opting to start their own business. Maybe you are one of those people. Or maybe you are an employee at a small business.

Alex Hinojosa, with EMSI Public Relations, suggests that, in order for your small business to succeed, you must first target your consumers and go where they go. No small business owner is Superman or Wonder Woman. You can’t do it all, so don’t even try.

Listen in as Alex gives practical advice.

What if you work for a small business? Sometimes it’s harder to work for a small company than a larger one. You might be in tight quarters all day. You may work for a family member or close friend.

How do you keep calm in tough situations? You – and the boss – must be willing to brain-storm together and make a plan of action together. Be a “solutions person”.

Alex also suggests that you don’t set too many goals right from the beginning. Start small and slowly build from there. If you get overwhelmed, it will consume you. You cannot be everything to everyone.

Likewise, as an employee at a small business, try your best to help the company run smoothly. If you help them succeed, you will succeed.

Discussed by Ashley Fingarson
with National Federation of Independent Business (www.NFIB.org)

When examining the current U.S. tax code, two things are clear: it is unnecessarily complex and it is unfair.

Congress is considering comprehensive tax reform. In other words, they are preparing to reward their friends and punish their enemies.

Small Businesses are about to be ‘left behind’, holding larger tax bills, while big businesses reap tax cuts. Let your voice and concerns be heard. If you own a small business, join the NFIB.

Listen in.
