November Theme: Holiday Survival Guide

Thursday, November 1, 2012 by Jessika Hepburn

Happy November & hooray for a new OMHG theme! This time of year can be crazy for small business owners, especially those who sell tangible products! There are a bazillion things to prep, orders to ship (and long lines to stand in), not to mention cranky or demanding holiday customers.

Submit your Business for a Community Critique!

Monday, October 22, 2012 by Jessika Hepburn

Sometimes it is tough to be your own boss/designer/bookkeeper/commander of your personal army-all those slashes and hats can get in the way of objectively looking at where our businesses are at.
