Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Subscribe to entrepreneurship magazines to boost your business knowledge

Pick up the latest copy of Entrepreneur magazine, as well as other business publications, or purchase an Entrepreneur subscription for monthly business advice delivered to your home or office. Published 12 times a year, the magazine offers news, commentary, growth information and tips to keep you at the forefront of your industry.

I recommend: Go online to view Entrepreneur magazine before you purchase it. After making sure the content is right for your business situation, consider subscribing from Entrepreneur.com. Check other websites such as magazineline.com and magazines.com to find deals on this and other publications.

Use Entrepreneur magazine online features

Entrepreneur offers content online that it just can't fit into a monthly issue, such as extra interviews and daily news, as well as highlights from the printed publication. The website offers business executives a glimpse into the management world with articles in diverse fields such as advertisement, marketing, sales, franchises, home-based businesses, e-business, technology and money.

I recommend: Visit Entrepreneur online to see all the website has to offer business professionals. The company also offers Entrepreneur in Spanish and a website designed for business women. Sign up for specific newsletters, which are then sent directly to your email inbox.

Subscribe to online content and get more information from Entrepreneur mag

Along with Entrepreneur magazine articles, the website also gives you access to back issues, archived articles and daily blogs. Look for last month's highlights, subscribe to RSS feeds and order back issues all from the website.

I recommend: Keep up with the Entrepreneur Magazine Franchise 500 and Hot 100 companies to see how your business compares with the competition. Save articles or look at reprint permissions to use specific articles in your company newsletters or business website. Add RSS feeds to your own website or blog for immediate access to small business news.

Read books brought to you by the editors of monthly Entrepreneur magazine

Entrepreneurial magazine companies often publish books with similar content to that of their monthly publications. Experts on small business startups and product sales, Entrepreneur publishes a series of books designed to help you with your specific types of startup.

I recommend: Order books from Entrepreneur's Small Business Books website to learn how to start your business and keep it running once you've gotten it off the ground. "Start Your Own Business" by former editor-in-chief Rieva Lesonsky and the entire Entrepreneur magazine's legal guide series makes starting your own small business much less intimidating. Also consult the Entrepreneur Daily blog for updated commentary and industry news.
