It’s finally here…well, almost! After a whole lot of hard work and preparation, the first episode of our new podcast “Smashing the Plateau” goes live next Monday, July 28. Over the next few weeks and months you’re going to hear from a top video game designer-entrepreneur, the guy who signed the Red Hot Chili Peppers,…

Summer is in full swing, and the year is right around halfway through. (How is that New Year’s Resolution coming along?) If you’re like most people, the heat of summer pushes you back indoors. Here are three articles we think will keep your brain sharp and focused on the tasks at hand.

You’ve probably picked up by now that while we certainly care about big ideas, we’re far more interested in how they’re successfully implemented. That’s why a recent Fast Company article (they’ve done it again!) is so fascinating to us.

We at TEND like to serve up our favorite blog posts each week so that you, our dear reader, will have something to discuss on Monday. To email to a colleague. Or simply just to ponder. Here are this week’s posts. Happy discussing/emailing/pondering.

We’ve been blogging for a while now, and it’s been a fun ride. We’ve love sharing our thoughts and opinions with you in print, and you’ve responded in kind. That’s why we’re doubling down. We’ve decided to go multimedia. We’re expanding the blog into a full-fledged podcast.

As small business owners, we all know it’s important to keep up to date with the industry’s ecosystem. Personally, we like to scour the Internet for the best blog posts each week. It’s our way of relieving the pressure a little; think of it as one less fire to fight. Usually there are too many…

Thanks to you we’re expanding our blog in a big way! When we started featuring interviews on our blog a few times a week, they quickly became our most popular posts. If there were any complaints, it was typically that 5 questions aren’t enough to give our fantastic guests the time and space they need…

Keeping up with one business blog after another may be effortful, but even the most careless owner can recognize the importance of keeping your finger on the pulse.
