    ROCK HILL, S.C. -- Ask any college basketball coach what the key stretch in a tight game will be, and he’ll most likely say the first four minutes of the second half. That’s why Liberty’s effort during those first four minutes after halftime Thursday at Winthrop was so puzzling.

"We definitely wanted to get it into the transition game because we knew they’re big in the post and it’s hard for them to get back on defense," said Bees guard Anitra Thomas, who was able to maneuver through traffic and shoot over defenders, leading all scorers with 18 points and grabbing six rebounds.

  • Why Cash is King?: Take the Basics of Business Ownership Class To Learn More (2011/11/11)
    * Those of us who work with small businesses can't emphasize enough the importance of cashflow management and the role cash plays in a business. This means preparing and analyzing your cashflow statement on a timely, at least monthly, basis. Cash is the underlying fuel for any business. Often, it is also the surest sign of profitability and general "health" of a business. Kudos to Elise Spontarelli, owner of GetCreative Web Design , who took our 6-Week Self-Employment Class last year and writes about it in her blog . Elise gets the importance of cashflowing, and she provides some interesting insights on how the training helped her business management skills. Don't take our word for why cash is important or why the class is helpful... read about the class and how it benefitted Elise . In t...

  • Calling All Innovators: Do You Have An Invention or New Technology? Do You Need Funding? (2010/9/14)
    *Portrait of Felix Nadar (1820-1910), Photographer and Aeronautical Scientist; Source: Flickr.com on CreativeCommons.org. Are you an inventor or do you have an innovation? Do you have an existing business or do you have an idea for a startup business that hinges on the success of your invention? Do you need funding to conduct research and development (R&D) on your product but find it too expensive to do it on your own given your current business cashflow? Do you need help with commercializing your technology, including marketing and distribution? If you answered yes to these questions, then you ought to find out more about the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Grant and the Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Grant. The SBIR and STTR grants are the primary vehicles by wh...
  • Top 10 Lessons Learned in Social Media (2010/7/21)
    I admit, I used to cringe when I heard the term social media—this was less than a year ago! However I soon realized that in order for me to help my small business clients best, I had to conquer this thing and “learn social media.” Here are my Top 10 lessons learned in my foray into social media which I hope will be helpful to other technically intrepid souls like myself: Lesson 1: You don’t have to conquer all forms of social media all at once. If you’re a good writer, consider starting a blog. If you’re the laidback relaxed type, begin with a Facebook page for your business. If you’re the visual/creative type, try YouTube videos. Lesson 2: Social media keeps your business front and center with customers and potential customers. What better way to...
  • Benefits of Blogging for Small Business (2010/5/27)
    Here's a link to a great article on the benefits of blogging for small businesses. It's short, concise, and easy to follow. If you're not convinced blogging is for you, read this summary to help you decide. Small business owners in the Region 2000 areas of Lynchburg, Amherst, Appomattox, Bedford and Campbell, like business owners everywhere, are at the cusp of a revolution in information and the internet. We can either choose to focus simply on local markets (and there's nothing wrong with that for certain businesses), or we can leverage new media such as blogging to get information on our products and services to a wider market geography (or dare I say, even the world). As someone who's a newbie to this whole blogging "thing", I can tell you that it's been a lot simpler than I ever imagi...
  • So How Does It Feel To Be A New Small Business Owner? (2010/5/20)
    A few months ago, we asked Carolyn Seaman, owner of Virginia Handcrafts , how it felt to be a new small business owner. Carolyn graciously accepted our (last minute) and impromptu request to do this video, and it is totally unscripted. Her response is moving and heartfelt. Our hats off to Carolyn Seaman and all small business owners like her, for everything you do. Incidentally last month, Virginia Handcrafts just celebrated it's 1st year anniversary of being in business. Congratulations, Carolyn!!
  • Is Your Business Ready to Come Roaring Back from the Recession? (2010/4/28)
    Congratulations! If you’re an existing business owner and you're still in business, you have probably survived the worst of the downturn. Many of your competitors may not have been as fortunate, and your own cash position might be low. Marketing your business might be the furthest from your mind. However, study after recent study confirms the economy is finally improving. Do what the big guys do in every economic rebound... Take advantage of your unique positioning now, and plan to GROW YOUR BUSINESS! Simply put, your marketing actions (or inaction) in the next few months could set the pace of your business for the next few years. We would like to invite you to attend a truly unique 3-part training session on no-cost, low-cost, and guerilla marketing techniques. This has been a prov...
  • The HIRE Act For Your Business (2010/4/16)
    There are two new tax benefits to help employers who hire and retain unemployed workers. If you're planning to hire in 2010, you should know about the new tax credits introduced by the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment (HIRE) Act . Basically, if a business hires someone who has been out of work for 60 days or more, the business does not have to pay Social Security taxes on the person until 2011. If the person stays employed for one year, the business owner gets a $1,000 business tax credit (not a deduction, but a tax credit!). The HIRE Act provides up to $6,621 in payroll tax credits and up to $1,000 in tax credits per eligible employee. The two tax benefits are especially helpful to employees who are adding positions to their payrolls. This is the closest to getting money in your p...
  • Business Owners: Get the Facts on Health Reform (2010/4/16)
    With so much in the media on the new healthcare legislation, it can be daunting for business owners to determine what impacts them. While our phones are not quite ringing off-the-hook on the topic, it is of concern to many small business owners. Here's a website with resources to help small business owners understand the new health insurance law, it's benefits, and implications. The truth of the matter is the legislation is going to affect every business differently. In most cases, the vast majority of small businesses with fewer than 25 employees are exempt from it. And those who aren't, or the small firms who now choose to provide affordable health insurance for their employees, now have tools and options, and tax incentives. Or at least, this is how it should play out. Check out www.He...
  • Taxes?… What Taxes? (2010/3/8)
    I just got out of a meeting with a startup business owner who started his business about 10 months ago. He hasn't kept many (if any) records, and is now scrambling to get caught up with his taxes. Every tax season, I seem to get a handful of clients in this situation... those who wait until the last minute to deal with taxes. Staying on top of taxes is actually fairly easy to do with a little bit of planning. Get organized - Don't wait until March 4 to do your corporate returns (due March 15th) or until April 12th if you're filing as a sole proprietorship (due April 15th). Get organized and stay organized throughtout the year to make life easy for when the tax man cometh. It's not difficult to do if you're even just a little bit diligent about your recordkeeping. At a minimum, have two fo...

  • Get Inspired! National Entrepreneurship Week - A Must See Video (2010/2/23)
    Every once in a while, we ALL need a shot in the arm. Business owners especially, and especially given this economy. It's easy to get beat up (and beat yourself up about it). Entrepreneurs take heart! If you're looking for a reason for being, a reason for why you do what you do, check out this video (and ignore those who think you're crazy). The video is in celebration of National Entrepreneuship Week (Feb 21-27). It certainly gave me the shot in the arm, that I very much needed. It helped me re-answer the question of why I do what I do, and why I enjoy working with entrepreneurs. In celebrating National Entrepreneurship Week, remember that entrepreneurship is really a mindset, and a way of thinking. It's not just about owning your own business. An "entrepreneurial mind" pays off anywhere...
  • Did you say New Year’s resolutions? (2010/2/11)
    If you're a small business owner, you probably set all kinds of well-intentioned New Year's resolutions. Whether it's developing a social media strategy, marketing plan, having X amount of dollars in sales, or preparing and actually reading your monthly financial statements on time (yeah, that!), you probably set all kinds of goals for yourself for 2010. Now, at the end of January, is a great time to revisit your resolutions and goals, see how you're doing, and even reassess or tweak them if you need to. Sound daunting? Follow these steps. First and foremost, write down your goals and resolutions on paper to give yourself more accountability (and er, ahem, shall we say, a conscience). Be SMART about your goals and resolutions: S pecific - Be specific about what you want to accomplish. For...
  • Thinking about starting a business? (2010/2/11)
    In a down economy, thinking about starting a business might be the furthest from your mind. However, some of today's best and well-known companies were started during deep recessions (think Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard, Revlon, etc). What many don't realize is that starting a business during a recession actually offers many opportunities--such as lower costs than during boom times and a better market in which to hire talented workers. Of course, as with starting a business at any time, you have to consider the pros and cons and do a proper market analysis.

Virginia Legislative Reps Propose Menhaden Extinction! Posted by DigitalDominion (2012/1/1)
Virginia State Senator Richard H. Stuart of Montross and Va. Delegate Barry Knight of Virginia Beach have filed bills for introduction in the 2012 Virginia General Assembly which could set the stage for total extinction of the Menhadden fishery in the Chesapeake. Menhadden, which form a basic foundation of the Chesapeake Bay's food chain have been increasingly subject to overfishing, and in November, 2011, the Atlantic States marine Fisheries Commission took the first steps towards establishment of science based "catch limits" to preserve the species.

The menhaden fishing industries reaction: let's move to remove all limits and make a fast buck while we can. Two bills pre-filed for introduction in the 2012 Virginia General Assembly pose a grave threat to efforts to promote Bay conservation.

HB 88
Introduced by Barry D. Knight would remove the cap by removing a provision that allows an adjustment for underages or overages in the annual harvest cap to be carried over to the next year's cap limit. Currently, if a person harvests less than the 109,020 metric ton limit on taking menhaden, he can add the difference to his cap for next year's harvest. Conversely, if he exceeds the cap in any one year, he must reduce his harvest in the succeeding year by the amount of the overage of the preceding year.

A copy of this bill is available at:http://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?121+ful+HB88+pdf" rel="external" title=""> http://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?121+ful+HB88+pdf

SB 18
Introduced by: Richard H. Stuart removes authorization for Virginia's membership in the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Compact. The purpose of the Compact is to promote better utilization of the marine, shell, and anadromous fisheries of the Atlantic seaboard through the development of a joint program for the promotion and protection of such fisheries and by the prevention of the physical waste of the fisheries from any cause. If any state desires to remove itself from the Compact, it must send a six months' notice in writing to the member states of its intention to withdraw from the Compact.

A copy of this bill is available at http://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?121+ful+SB18+pdf

To stop these bills, Virginia legislaturive representatives need to hear from you now - early and often!

Our Home Page and the Terms of Use linked thereon provide that by accessing, retrieving files from or sending files, form submissions or E-mail to and using our site you agree to be bound by those Terms of Use as a legal agreement.

We outsource virtually all our operations, support and functions to various third parties. Although we seek to disclose the policies and contractual and legal obligations of these providers, we disclaim any and all liability for failure to accurately disclose practices of those third parties (or of their
employees or contractors) which may vary from the policies and procedures described herein. Under our Terms of Use, you waive any liability on the part of the owner of this website for actions or omissions of third parties providing software, hardware or other support or services to us. Nonetheless, if you become aware of actions of such parties which you believe are not consistent with the Privacy Policy set forth herein, please notify us and we will endeavor to correct the situation.

    Via software provided by our web host provider and via Google Analytics we collect certain information automatically when you visit any of our site web pages. This includes the placement of "cookies" upon your computer so that we may track your visits to and activity upon our site based upon your originating IP address. Generally, your originating IP address does not disclose your personal identity, but merely identifies you as a user from your internet service provider or, for visitors accessing thru a business account, the internet domain of your business. Although we do not seek to solicit or otherwise obtain further identifying information, it is possible that this information, coupled with access to the IP address logs of your internet service provider could permit the future individual identification of you as a user. Other information will only be collected if you voluntarily submit that information by entry or registration and submittal or by accepting a "cookie" designed to gather and track certain information. Information collected may be aggregated and used for our purposes, however, unless expressly otherwise noted on part of our site at this time it is our policy that individual user information is not resold or otherwise made available to any unaffiliated third parties (other than consultants working for us on the development of this site) for commercial or other purposes without your express consent and acknowledgment of that possible use. We will, however, make information, available to law enforcement personal or whenever required by order or subpoena issued by a court or other regulatory or governmental body. Although we (1) disclaim any obligation to contest the validity of any such request order or subpoena, and (2) assume no liability for failure or inability to do so or to notify you, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you by E-mail (assuming we have your E-mail address), and if you wish to contest such request order or subpoena on bona fide grounds through valid use of judicial process through legal counsel acceptable to us, we will generally cooperate in such efforts.


If you visit our site to read or download information, we utilize software programs provided by our web server hosting services provider to collect and store the following information about you: the name of the domain from which you access the Internet (for example, aol.com, if you are connecting from an America Online account, or gmu.edu if you are connecting from George Mason University's domain); the date and time you access our site; pages within our site which you access, and, if applicable, the Internet address of the website from which you linked directly to our site. In addition, for repeat users of certain features on our site, the program offers you the option of having a "cookie" placed upon your own computer so that our computers will recognize you on repeat visits without need for re-entry of a password. If you share your computer with others, you may wish to consider whether or not you desire to use this feature as it could permit those other users to make posting under your name.  We use the information we collect to measure the number of visitors to the different sections of our site, to gauge the level of interest among visitors in various topics, and to help us make our site more useful to visitors.

You may personally identify yourself by registering, sending an E-mail or by registering for and participating in one of our features.

To the extent you provide identifying information by posting to or participating in our forum bulletin boards, visible information posted by you will be generally available to other visitors to our site. As a registered user, you are given certain options about information that you chose to make publicly
available. Our site Terms of Use provide that by using our site you (and others) agree not to exploit or utilize information or E-mail addresses posted by others for commercial use. If you become aware of a violation of this term by any third party, please advise us.

Unfortunately, some users may not honor this policy, and it is possible that providing an E-mail address may result in "spammers" obtaining and using your E-mail address.
