Small Business

by Karen Blotnicky

A Business Professor and small business owner offers practical advice and encouragement. This highly praised column is very popular with current and would-be entrepreneurs.

Plain and simple, entrepreneurs are one of the fastest growing population segments. Corporate and government downsizing has forced many of your readers to consider their options. Very often that leads them to start a small business of their own. Karen Blotnicky is uniquely qualified to provide insight on the topic of small business, both as an owner of a small marketing research company and as an assistant business professor at Mount Saint Vincent University in Halifax. Many of her students are the type of reader you are trying to reach, and as a business owner Karen has tested many of the business theories herself. She conveys this wealth of information in a timely and thought provoking weekly column, long running in the Sunday Herald in Halifax and now in The Standard in St Catharines.
