So this week we have two thoughts of the week.
I know you are worried about being overwhelmed… but both are just good enough that they both need to be here.
1) “When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.” ~Franklin D. Roosevelt
Sometimes that is all we can do, knowing that each situation will eventually pass.
2) “The road to success is dotted with many tempting parking places.” ~Author Unknown
Stay the course, the grass isn’t always greener on the other side… in most occasions it is a off brownish color

Choose Quality Over Price

While entrepreneurs that are starting their new business typically look for ways to save money on everything from office space to consulting services, there are some things that are worth the splurge and more often then not, can give you the competitive edge you need to succeed. When you are getting ready to launch don’t skimp on these:
Legal Services: It is a very bad idea to pinch pennies when it comes to legal counsel. The legal advice you get early on, including the form of organization for your business, is critically important and hard to undo. Make sure that however much money you have, you spend it well on legal counsel.
Good People: Spend money on hiring good people and creating strong partnerships. “If you add one bad apple to a company of four people, it can ruin your company.
Design: From your letterhead to your website, Is is an extremely smart investment to spend the money for good design. Using clip-art logos or a clunky website designed by your best friend’s cousin can scream amateur. Make sure that from the start your business looks as successful as you want to be.
Of course, that’s not to say you should break the bank on these essential elements but keep in mind that you should always choose quality over price.

Mobile Advertising: If you want to market your business, forget the Super Bowl. Instead, spread your message on the small screen–the really small screen, as in cell phones. With nearly two-thirds of our nation’s population owning cell phones, according to CTIA Wireless, it’s hard to imagine staying competitive if you don’t. For businesses looking to capitalize, the cost of mobile marketing varies from very cheap (sending SMS messages) to expensive (sending video commercials). According to RBC Capital, U.S. spending on marketing and advertising over wireless networks is expected to reach $1.5 billion by 2010.
