Now is really a great time to own, start, or grow a business. The TV says there’s a recession, but I say there’s opportunity for progress. Are you aware of how many resources, how much wisdom, knowledge, and understanding you can gain from blogs now-a-days? The library still has it’s place in society and certainly in doing research to starting or growing a business. However, a blog can give you that information and so much more.With blogs you really get first hand advice that you would probably have to pay a consultant to receive.
Today, I want to share with you some of the best blogs for entrepreneurs that I can find. I subscribe to each of these in Google Reader, my RSS feed reader of choice. Don’t know what RSS is? Check out Darren Rowse’s excellent explanation of it here. You can subscribe to my Google Reader shared items here.
Business Pundit – What I like about this blog is it’s really all about business. You won’t find too many “tips, tricks, and how-to’s” here, just good old fashion business reporting. Great information on big business brands in a way that gives you an “insiders” look into their success.
Seth’s Blog – Seth Godin is the entrepreneur’s entrepreneur. Seriously, if you want to learn from one of the most informative businessmen, you’ll love his witty, educational, and brief blog posts. Nuff said!
Duct Tape Marketing Blog – This is by far one of my most favorite blogs. A lot of the links I share on Twitter come from John Jantsch’s blog. He has truly built a wealth of practical marketing information, social media tips, and business advice all in one spot.
CopyBlogger – If you’re a blogger this site is a great spot for practical information and help to increase your readership, traffic, and become an overall better blogger. If you’re looking for information on making money with your blog then visit . . .
ProBlogger – Darren Rowse really puts a lot into delivering solid content for his readers and it really shows. You’ll find great articles on ways to create a profitable blog, increasing reader engagement, best practices, and more.

Possessing Your Land – This is a great blog by Paul Cooley who shares business principles from a Christian perspective (like yours truly). It’s not updated regularly, but there are still plenty of great articles in the archives to be read.
Success Factors – This is a blog by my good friend, Steve Borgman. I really enjoy his articles on success, branding, and even metrics for measuring your success. How cool is that? You’ll find a wealth of valuable information, inspiration, and empowerment from Steve’s posts.
Young Entrepreneur Blog – Another one of my favorite blogs! I love their interviews, social media tips, and articles on entrepreneurship and leadership. I’m not going to say anything else about this blog other than subscribe to it now!
Small Business Trends – SBT is by far one of the greatest blogs for entrepreneurs I’ve come across in a long time. Pod casts, white papers, marketing tips, social media advice, blogging advice, it’s all there for mass consumption. There’s always something new to read and share. It really does have it all and they do a good job of delivering all their content. Check it out!
Chris Brogan.com – If you’re an entrepreneur and you want to learn how to maximize social media, Chris’s blog is the place to learn from a master. If Bill Gates started a blog about making money, would you read it? Of course you would! Same thing here with this blog, it’s an excellent resource for maximizing social media [business wise] in a way that really earns your customer’s trust. You might even check out Chris’s excellent new book; Trust Agents: Using the Web to Build Influence, Improve Reputation, and Earn Trust
