NEW YORK, NY (NOVEMBER 2012)
-
Winter is almost here. And the buzz is not com-
ing from the cold snap. Small businesses are changing the way they do business by dis-
covering ways to get new customers (and keep them), stay prevalent online, and get
ahead of the competition. Job security and financial success are just around the corner.
The 2012 Presidential election is here. After months of campaign promises, it has come
down to two candidates: the incumbent Barack Obama and presidential hopeful Mitt
Romney. November 6th, Judgment Day, small business owners will decide which candi-
date can garner funding that will increase new hires and revenue. “Governor Romney
doesn’t have a five-point plan” -claims President Obama, at the 2nd Presidential Debate.
“
He has a one-point plan. And that plan is to make sure that folks at the top play by a
different set of rules”. In this month’s
Powertic
section, both Romney and Obama ad-
dress the hottest kitchen table political topic.
With 2013 only weeks away, business owners are wasting no time in putting their game
plan into play. In the November issue of TOMI Magazine, Joe Shure, co-founder of Inter-
sect Fund, offers detailed advice on how small businesses can get to the front of the mi-
croloan application line by improving their credit in our
Forecast
section. In our
Indie-
pendent
section, Author Deborah Henry discusses the chilling discovery she made when
writing the book ‘The Whipping Club’. “I was shocked to find out that during the 60s and
way before there was this underbelly going on” - says Henry. “This hidden atrocity of
people.”
In our ongoing feature of Irish Academy’s online
Public Relations
course, we focus on
the art of fabricating a story and how this can get you and your client into serious trou-
ble. ‘It’s like telling a tale that you just have to keep up with’. In our
Personal Assis-
tant
section, we address the challenges that come with the everyday business life. At
times, getting through the storm of a business day can be an ‘all hands on deck’ type of
thing. “People are busier these days than they’ve ever been” - says Charell Star, founder
of PAforaday.com. “I’m willing to say in history. Employers are overleveraged and over-
extended. We’ve gotten to a point in our society where people are afraid to ask for help.
We have to move away from that.”
The November 2012
issue is filled with resources for entertainment business owners to
begin putting all of the pieces of the puzzle together. By maximizing your internet mar-
keting with programs like Postling and SproutSocial. You can turn tweets into dollar
signs, increase your customer service value by listening to key points made from current
customers and would-be consumers, apply branding techniques that can turn your busi-
ness into a household name.
