As the end of the year is closer, I want to check different small business resources around me to see what was interesting from the outgoing year.
Before several days I was simply trying to look at my Evernote notebooks to see what small business resources I was reading in 2012 and what will need to stay in my Evernote account, what will need to be in which notebook and what I think will need to be deleted.
Quickly after searching for 2012 as a year of creating notes I find more than 2,600 notes that I was created in that year. There are different stuff in the form of my notes, my lists, interesting articles, books… It’s a huge small business resource list.
Here I want to share 100 small business resources that I found in my Evernote account from last year for which I think is valuable for entrepreneurs.
