Obama in New York

President Barack Obama made history yet again today for being the first sitting President to be on a daytime talk show. Although, most of the questions were easy going some of the discussion actually involved some serious topics such as, the war in Afghanistan and the unemployment rate, were the President defended his job bill despite the current 9.5% unemployment rate. The interview also tested his pop culture knowledge, the President said he knew Lindsay Lohan was in jail but claimed he didn't know who Snooki was. I have to say for a President Barrack is certainly in touch with pop culture, he even has Jay-Z and Bob Dylan on his iPod.

While in New York the President made good use of his time by also attending a Democratic fund raiser party at Vouge Editor Anna Wintour's home. The President also visited our neighbor state New Jersey to speak to the press alongside small business owners following a meeting at the Tastee Sub Shop in Edison, NJ.
SOUNDOFF: Do you think the President is focusing enough on stimulating the economy?

Networking for Entrepreneurs

Networking is key to starting any small business. Not only does it lead to the chance of meeting potential partners, but it is a great way to improve your own endeavors or method of marketing.

Many of us who are thinking of starting our own business do not have enough of the funds or the manpower to be able to get our entrepreneurial hopes off of paper and into reality. However, as demonstrated by our special guest, Darryl Murphy Jr of Big Money Talks Entertainment, LLC, networking is crucial to a young entrepreneur. Even if we were able to set our dreams into fruition, the chances are high that our investment will fail as many of us lacks the experience needed for our business plans to flourish- therefore we need MENTORS, because it provides them the chance to meet the seasoned veteran who would be more than willing to offer them crucial advice. Networking also provides us a chance to meet potential partners who would help share the responsibilities of starting a new business. This would help create a safety net for us so that we do not plummet our entire life savings into a failing endeavor.

As suggested by our special guest and publicity expert, Bryan R. Adams of FAB Communications, not only does networking spread awareness of your business, but also it is a great way of developing public relations by increasing your credibility in the community.

Though it would be ideal to be able to do everything ourselves, it would be impossible for us to start a successful business without the help of others. Because of this, it is crucial for an aspiring entrepreneur to network.
