First, I would like to apologize for not keeping up with the posts as I have been. It has come to a point in my web design business where I have almost too much work to keep up with. On a positive note, at least my business is doing well.
I have every intention to update [...]
Feel free to check it out on the bottom of YBO’s sidebar. This widget, recently released by SuiteMatch, is a way for any owner of a blog (or any site really) to help their viewers find office space in their area. If you are unfamiliar with SuiteMatch, then read my original review here.
Now, SuiteMatch is [...]
I have stumbled across an interesting article while checking search engine results for “teen business” (which, by the way, if anyone knows how I can start getting a better Page Rank for YBO, contact me).

It goes on to [...]
This may sound simple but it has to be one of the best things that I have started doing. I plan my day the night before. My next day’s plans come from different events that have occurred, scheduled appointments, and deadlines.

After getting many compliments on my business card holder, itself, and many emails thanking me for the tutorial, I decided to follow up with another article and some more pictures.
If you are not familiar with the holders or tutorial that I am speaking of, you can read the original article here.
Moving on to the new [...]

Online, it’s a different story, but right now, [...]
I’ve provided this link before, but I’m going to do it again. Here is the link to SCORE.org’s free business plan template and, I must say, this is one of the best templates anybody could use: http://www.score.org/template_gallery.html. (Hint: It is the first download.)
I use this template myself when planning out my start-ups and even though [...]
You may have noticed or you may not have noticed, but I have changed the interval in which I post my articles.

Basically, I would still [...]
