The web 2.0 phenomenon is so powerful that business professionals have not even began to see the tip of the iceberg and grasp the power of social media/ social networking for business purposes. that is what specilize in discussing here http://www.socialnetworkingsandiego.com/blog/ As i mentioned in my most recent blog post- Obama states “It will be the small businesses that save this economy” and he is so right!

But in order for this to happen, we have to focus on jobs creation (to grease the wheels) and credit extension (to help us grow).

There are roughly 2 million manufacturing, wholesale, and retail business establishments in the United States, if every business became their own $150k stimulus, the economy as whole would be stimulated by $300 billion! At an average of $18.50 per hour, this amounts to 8 million jobs in the countries backbone - small businesses. This is John Krech and I own ePhiphony Incorporated. We specialize in helping small and mid market businesses improve their bottom line and free up cash. Who isn't interested in doing things better, reaching bigger goals, making more money, and providing better service? Our product, Phitch OC 9.0, is the only software of its kind. While there are many solutions that manage and track inventory, only Phitch OC 9.0 optimizes inventory from a financial performance perspective. The end result is that many businesses can stimulate their business by $150,000 or more by improving their capability to order the right amount of inventory at the right time. There is nothing to lose and everything to gain - we offer a free trial and a 30 day return and if your mention this call to action by entering VAR number USGO in your online order form, you will receive a 20% rebate (www.phitch.com).

Yet, 70 million people either own or work for a small business. Its time that small business is invited to the table. But, we have to be on message, and small business has yet to come up with a coherent one. I blogged about this not too long ago. Small business owners needs to get involved, join green and trade groups and push for greater advocacy. Until small businesses demand attention—which they could get given their collective power—it'll never come out way. http://ecopreneurist.com/2009/01/21/what-can-you-do-to-green-the-country/ For years small businesses have been invisible.

Whilst we do not have the volume of special interest groups, the connection between the what the government is proposing in their handouts eg construction and the benefit to small businesses is a stretch at best.

The small business owner will be shut out because these solutions are being designed as if 'one size (large) fits all'; when the reality is that there are a wide range of solutions required for the wide range of businesses.

Don't wait for the handout, special stimulus package, etc., start get busy... But at the same, "we the living" (to paraphrase the novel by Ayn Rand) have to get some "slack" from the establishment and let us put seed in the ground, let it grow, and then have the right to harvest and use the fruits of all our labor! I will send you an email regarding on how you could have a fresh look on what's going on. I am positive that good things will happen in the near future and in the long run... :) Ivana:
