Lesson 1 -- Business Resources

1.  According to the Datamonitor report in Business Source Premier, Peter Klein is the Chief Financial Officer of Microsoft.  Before joining Microsoft, Klein spent 13 years in corporate finance in Seattle area communications and technology sectors.

2.  A search for "handicrafts" in Small Business Reference Center yielded several helpful sources on where to sell crafts.  The article "State of the market" in the publication AMERICAN CRAFT, features the online websites for selling crafts such has Etsy.  A book chapter, "Crafts"  in LEISURE MARKET RESEARCH HANDBOOK talks about places to sell crafts in person including fairs, festivals and craft galleries.

The advanced search feature of Small Business Referernce Center was useful because I was able to limit the search to a publication type of book.  I found a book chapter on crafts in the book, 199 INERNET-BASED BUSINESSES YOU CAN START WITH LESS THAN ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS.

I also did a search on personal training in Small Business Reference Center.  I found many articles and also a book that looked helpful entitled HOW TO OPEN & OPERATE A FINACIALLY SUCCESSFUL PERSONAL TRAINING BUSINESS.

3.  Using the 'browse by popular resource' tool in Small Business Reference Center, I found a NOLO publication called DEDUCT IT.  It was a current publication and one that small business owners would find helpful since it is tax time.
