Reviewing What Worked and What Didn’t in 2011
By Jay Goltz, New York Times, January 4, 2012
"The beginning of the year is a great time for reflection, revelation, resolution and even a little celebration. We did do some things right last year, and the results are starting to show. I also did some things wrong, which I intend to rectify in the near future. Move out of the way, 2011."

7 Small Business Tips to Make 2012 a Huge Success
By Stacy Karacostas, StartUpNation
"No one could argue that our world isn’t changing fast—and I don’t mean just technology-wise. Consumers aren’t spending like they once did, manufacturing and shipping costs are fluctuating wildly, and the age of the environment is slowly (finally) being ushered in. On top of that, the Internet has finally really changed the way people shop and buy – not to mention the way we entrepreneurs market our businesses."

Quotable

"Most entrepreneurs are merely technicians with an entrepreneurial seizure. Most fail because you're working in your business rather than on your business. My experience has shown me that the people who are exceptionally good in business aren't so because of what they know but because of their insatiable need to know more." -Michael Gerber

"Contrary to popularly held assumptions, the highest rate of entrepreneurial activity belongs to the 55–64 age group over the past decade. The 20–34 age bracket has the lowest." -The Coming Entrepreneurship Boom, June 2009

"Rather than making history for its deep recession and record unemployment, 2009 might instead be remembered as the year business startups reached their highest level in 14 years — even exceeding the number of startups during the peak 1999-2000 technology boom.” -The New York Times, June 2010

"The entrepreneur is our visionary, the creator in each of us. We're born with that quality and it defines our lives as we respond to what we see, hear, feel and experience. It is developed, nurtured, and given space to flourish or is squelched, thwarted, without air or stimulation, and dies. If they don't fail outright, most businesses fail to fully achieve their potential. That's because the person who owns the business doesn't truly know how to build a company that works without him or her...which is key." -Michael Gerber
