There are many aspiring entrepreneurs looking for more revenue and resources, with no idea how to make it happen. I get letters every day that say, “I want to start my business—but I’m not making the money that I need to do so!” Some try borrowing from relatives and others look for investment capital opportunities. Although getting capital for your business is hard to come by these days, all hope is not lost. You can build your dream business on your own through self-funding.

It happens every year. I start out with good intentions of making sure I have time for mid-year planning but things just seem to move too quickly and before I know it the year has passed and I have to scramble.

For small businesses looking for a way to attract qualified college students to their company, or to save a little money by eliciting entry-level help—an internship program can be a beautiful thing.
