Product Placement for Fun and Profit

I confess that the continued trend toward blatant product placement in the media makes me giddy. I already love Top Chef for its amazing chefs and the mouth-watering concoctions they create, but I get a special little thrill when they drive their Toyotas to WholeFoods and buy food that they will then pack in Gladware [...]

Writing a Business Plan for Your Small Business

Before I embarked on the adventure that is entrepreneurship, I had worked exclusively fornon-profit organizations.

Outright: Simple Bookkeeping Online

Outright was created after watching a number of small businesses, like ourselves, struggle to capture all of their business deductions, often piecing together a number of different solutions. We consistently found that business owners spent too much time and effort on the least enjoyable part of running one's own business. So we built Outright. The goal is to keep it as simple as possible, helping entrepreneurs track all of their income and expenses to get their taxes done accurately.
