When looking to hire this summer, do not hesitate in hiring those young adults looking for a summer job. Some of these kids are very computer savvy that may help you increase business using the internet, social media etc. Those straight out of college will be looking for a more permanent job so look out for them as well.

Read More Five ways to make an impact and grow your business
Larry Ellis Do you have a hard time remembering the name of someone you just met? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. People forget who you are too. And when you're trying to grow your business, being forgotten can be bad news. So, what can you do to be more memorable and make a big impact on others? Sure, you could dress unusually or give yourself a funny nick name – that might work, at least initially. But, for long-term success, you'll be much more memorable if you simply make positive impressions on others and add value to their lives. Read More Our year for choices
