Here are a few posts published last week that offer some great tips for small and large businesses - highlighting everything from project management tips to ways to keep your employees dedicated to their jobs.

Can Entrepreneurs Be Made? - Contrary to the belief that entrepreneurs come from entrepreneurial families and have always had the drive to be their own boss, TechCrunch publishes some findings that show that is not always the case.

Rewarding Employees... By Giving Them The Company - Last week, Entrepreneur.com showcased a company that, despite the current economic climate, is giving a huge reward to its employees - the company itself. Through an employee stock ownership program, the employees of Bob’s Red Mill Natural Foods received part ownership of the company to which they have been extremely dedicated. This is a great way to encourage the success of the employees and show there is no limit to what they can do for their business.
