Wellness & Small Business
Get Your Wellness Score
Entrepreneurs need to find work-life balance. Having a strong work ethic and being willing to put in extended days when required is critical. During your startup phase and later when you encounter bumps in the road, you will work long hours with great satisfaction. But as things progress you need to find balance by building your team, easing control and empowering your staff.
Small Businesses Giving Back
Making Deposits into the Community
Research shows that giving back is not only important to small business, but also important to your customers. According to a 2010 philanthropic study by Cone Communications, 85 percent of consumers have a more positive image of a product or company when it supports a cause they care about. Ninety percent want companies to tell them how they're supporting causes. So more that 278 million people in the U.S. want to know what a company is doing to benefit a cause.
