Welcome to the October 22, 2007 edition of Business Opportunities and Ideas Carnival.
Luke Houghton presents 6 ways to write a list posted at Luke Houghton, saying, “The way in which we engage our readers is often through simple lists. How to strategies and aggregate lists are very powerful. Read this to learn techniques you can use to help build traffic and attract new visitors.”
Charles H. Green presents Software Programming and the Economics of Trust vs. Transactions posted at Trust Matters, saying, “Software programming, oddly, teaches us that treating transactions as one-offs which aren’t can cost us a great deal more money than approaching them as part of a series of transactions. This is the same lesson we need to understand about relationships — that making them into single transactions reduces long term value or increases our costs.”
Liz Fuller presents Friends are Vital to Small Business Success - More Than WE Know - Information, Inspiration and Support for Women Entrepreneurs posted at More Than WE Know, saying, “Studies have shown that having a best friend at work is critical for full engagement in your job. So where does that leave the solo entrepreneur? How do small business owners find motivation and resilience when times get tough?””
wilson ng presents SME 1- Should you get an MBA? posted at Reflections of a BizDrivenLife, saying, “Many believe that you need good gut feel and street smarts to succeed as an entrepreneur. They may be right. But in today’s world where you need every advantage you can get, a proper business education may give you the tools and skills not only to bootstrap your business, but to scale it to greater heights.”
Christopher J. Brunner presents Getting Others On Board With Your Vision posted at GreatFX Business Cards, saying, “Many visions require the support of others, especially financial investors, in order to press forward toward the goal. Because your vision is yours alone, you have to convince others of the value it has.”

I actually have written about several contests for small business owners, both men and women, and some just for having an idea about a business that you’d like to get funded.
