small business owner

The Daily News Journal reports on the Republican attempting to bring the 48th state House seat home for their party:

Joe Carr, Jon Jaques and Lou Ann Zelenik are vying to steal Hood’s seat away from the Democrats.

There is clearly a divide between businesses who understand the "shifts" happening and those that don't. Whether a Fortune 500 or a small business owner the divides in understanding will separate the winners from the losers.

The last thing I want to blog about is sales tax, however, there’s a lot of confusion being twittered and blogged around the Nashvilleosphere today about a “technical correction” measure that is working its way through the Tennessee state legislature.

Some days I wonder if I should be blogging more about my experience as an entrepreneur. A couple of people suggested that when I first started this endeavor. Honestly, though, by the time I have solved a problem, I really don't feel like blogging about it. I'm just glad it's over.

I asked you guys to e-mail me any questions you have about Compassion International.  Christine did.  She wrote:

One thing I have wondered is whether it is really working.  Is it really breaking the cycle of poverty?  Are there adults who were sponsored as a child still living in poverty?  I sure hope not, but I’d really like to know the story of an adult that came through Compassion and lives a better life than the generations he/she came from.

I assume you are aware that MCB is moving to an editorial model (if not, read this). As part of that process I (Jackson Miller) have been given the honor / responsibility of acting as the Business & Technology Editor. The key word there is “editor” (well, I guess “business” and “technology” are pretty key too, but…)

This weekend was a good lesson for me, a reminder of the importance of asking for help.

I have an independent spirit, with a good dose of pride as well. No, I don't think I'm better than everyone else. I just think I know the best way to do things. (See, that's not so bad. Um, right?) Add to that an unwillingness to "inconvenience" others.
