Weekly Roundup: There is Good News for Small Businesses

[Ellen_Yu]

This week we got some great advice on small business loans from Tanya Brockett, a former adjunct professor of Entrepreneurship and Book Publishing at the University of Virginia and author of The Loan Solution. If you missed the live webinar with Tanya, you can get the archive here.

The Web was full of news about the protests on Wall Street, prime ministers losing their power and the latest gaffs by political candidates. In the small business blogosphere however, we found several articles worth sharing to our entrepreneurship-focused friends. So here they are, with everything from franchising to social media:

• 7 Due Diligence Tips For Future Franchisees
• Ten Tips on How to Get the Entrepreneur X-Factor
• For Retirement, 80 May Be the New 65
• Five Tools for Twitter Power Users
• More Small Businesses Extol the Benefits of Social Media

Have a great weekend!
