Every week I publish articles on this blog to help small business owners start and grow their entrepreneurial ventures.  My mission is simple: to end small business failure. There are times when I write things based on questions I am frequently asked and then there are other times when I wake up in the middle of the night with an idea I simply must get down on paper. I write this blog for all the people who I never get to meet or mentor.  I want you to succeed as your own boss, and I write faithfully so that you can have a roadmap to achieve your small business goals.  Over the past year, I have grown as a writer and business consultant, and I shared what I have learned with all of you. Happy New Year everybody. Lets make 2012 is year to remember!

Here’s the best 10 articles I have written in 2011 according to all of you.
