You have expenses that need to be paid quickly and customers that want
Most business publications tell us about people we can never identify with, even though we love to read about them. They have seemingly unlimited resources, celebrity contacts, and brilliant well-connected friends. Fun to read but with very little direct relevance to us, except for the moral, legal, and ethical dilemmas and lessons each article contains.
iBizResources.com was launched with the intention of putting Main Street faces, successful business owners everyone can identify with, along side practical, insightful articles written by business professionals from a range of industries. Thought-provoking, idea-generating articles first published in 1999 are just as popular today as the latest Blog posts on iBizResources.com.
To date we have written and published almost 100 profiles of successful business owners.Each business owner who participated was nominated as a thought leader, someone whose story deserved telling, by his or her trade association.
Individuals were interviewed at length over the phone around a set of questions crafted to bring out how the company was formed, when and by whom and some of the challenges they overcame along the way. And each success profile described their plans for them future - especially how they believed the Internet would help them grow their business in the future.
You see it occurred to us that there were lots of stories from Main Street that people would want to read about. So we made a few calls to our association executive contacts in a dozen industries and the rest was easy - time consuming, but easy.
As it turns out, our assumption was accurate.
The success stories along with a handful of how-to articles featuring the tactics of successful business owners account for a scant 1% of the content on iBizResources.com and yet they receive over 32% of the web site's traffic. One profile, published in 2002, accounts for 10% of all web site impressions. People still access it several hundred times a week.
Experience dictates that no matter where someone is in the development of their business, there are people who are behind them on their own path toward success. People want to read about experiences they can leverage and tactics they can make their own.
Fortune 500 companies have in-house writers, contract authors, along with advertising and PR professional people who spend their days telling the world how great the company is. Mainstream everyday companies do not have that luxury, until now.

So many business consultants often say that they are tired of being right all the time and wish that their clients or business associates would listen. They get upset and admit that millions of dollars were wasted because they just did not listen. One top-notched consultant from PA mentioned this to me not long ago. Indeed, as a semi-retired consultant, I must agree with her.I also caution myself and others not to always blame the client, even though it is their fault for not listening. I remi
