Somerset County Library system recommends resources for business … – NJ.com

Latest post from Evan Vitale Consulting -

Somerset County Library System of New Jersey (SCLSNJ) Adult Services Librarian Cathy DeBerry knows local small business professionals and the challenges they face: “The small business or home-based business often is a one-man show. As a result, the owner wears many hats. He or she is often the CEO, CFO, Network Engineer and VP of Marketing.”

With that in mind, DeBerry created a list of business magazines that she recommends small business owners read. “With limited access to staffing, funding and resources, the small business owner can look to our ’12 Magazines Every Small Business Owner Should Read’ list so that he or she can learn more about marketing, technology, finance, leadership, human resources, management, entrepreneurship and goal setting,” she said.
