Over the last few months I have been completely and unapologetically focused on myself, and my company's growth. This past Friday I was happy to announce Argo Marketing's expansion of its customer service functions to Pittsfield, Maine, and our plans to hire 50 people within 30 days. A lot of people I know questioned why I would do something as foolish as taking on more liability and risk in the middle of a great recession! Well, my answer is simple: The recession is over. Now, my father used to tell me that "...a recession is when your neighbor looses his job and a depression is when you lose your job," so, to all those people out there who are still looking, keep your chin up - the worst is behind us. I am starting to see news stories here and there, amid the clutter that is the daily...
Randy Sebastian is completely satisfied with his company, Renaissance Homes, building 150 homes a year. Sure, it's not the 350- per-year average the company hit over the last decade, but even if Sebastian could return to those times, he says he wouldn't want to. The most recent economic downturn has taught him that sometimes less really is more. This is the first time since the Great Depression that the country's home construction market hasn't surged in the first year following a recession. Instead growth has been slow but steady. The pace, Portland-area home builders like Sebastian say, supports what they've come to realize is a far more sustainable business model than the approaches they employed in previous flush times.
S. consumers earned less and spent less for a second straight year in 2010. The government report released Tuesday offered a deeper look at how Americans have adjusted their spending after the worst recession since the Great Depression. People spent less last year on food, cut back on entertainment and eating out at restaurants and gave less to charity. At the same time, they paid more for gas and health care - trends that have continued this year. Total spending by consumers fell 2 percent last year, according to the Labor Department's annual survey of consumer behavior. It's only the second decrease since the government began the survey in 1984. The first came in 2009. Incomes declined 0.6 percent in 2010, after a 1.1 percent drop in 2009. This year, consumer spending and income hav...

Entrepreneurship and the development of new business continue to be the forefront of socioeconomic development in virtually all economies today. Despite evidence of increasing research into entrepreneurial growth, the existing research is limited by the fact that most studies define entrepreneurial growth as a unidimensional construct and operationalize it as "realized" growth relying on financially based measures. Consequently, this article has two objectives: (1) to develop a set of accurate and comprehensive entrepreneurial growth measures; and (2) to test a series of hypotheses regarding precursors of growth intentions-more specifically, to what extent, infrastructure factors affect entrepreneurial growth intentions. These two questions were examined using Entrepreneurial Profile Qu...
