Cascades Technologies' Casta: Entrepreneurial Passion Fuels Success

In 2000, Alfredo Casta launched information technology business from his home. Today, he has 87 employees and takes in nearly $10 million in revenue.

Can Small and Medium-size Businesses Avoid Layoffs?

Falling consumer demand, tight credit, and problems with cash flow are forcing many small- and medium-sized businesses to operate proactively and tighten their belts.

Investing a little time into making your business communication is attractive, creative and unique should certainly set you apart from your competition.

Correction: high-volume McDonald's restaurants. Meaning busy. Meaning successful. True, she may have had a leg up of sorts.
