Tom Reber provides seven great reasons to slow down and reward these future small business leaders with your time and spare change, because we have no idea how far that quarter’s going to go in the long run.
1. They have the ‘bouncy balls’ to take a risk. Seriously, only God knows what mom or dad had to say to encourage the kid to get out there and try something. The last thing I want to see is a kid forever discouraged because nobody stopped to buy a product from their new business (you know we all have deep childhood issues!). Small business is the driving force behind our economy. I say support small business and buy local!
2. They are taking action. That’s right. They’re not sitting on the sideline waiting for a handout. Maybe they have a goal to buy a new Hello Kitty Pencil Box or an XBox Memory card. Whatever their reason, they are making something happen. They got out there and are creating something from nothing. That’s entrepreneurship! That’s worth paying attention to and honoring!

21st Century Fox Debuts New Logo
Via the Huffington Post:
Rupert Murdoch announced last year that he would be splitting his media conglomerate into two separate companies. One company, which will keep the News Corp. name, will be comprised of the publishing and newspaper properties. The other, aptly named 21st Century Fox, will consist of the organization’s entertainment and broadcast operations.
In the new black and white logo, the company’s name appears in white block letters alongside a white circle with two black spotlights. A video of the logo accompanied its debut and it included some strange computer-like techie blip noises, which were probably used as an attempt to imply the future, or new horizons or some other forward-thinking metaphor.
