Welcome to Grabbing Green, where Steve O'Leary and Kim Sheehan help you answer these important questions and many more. We've created a database of RESOURCES to address the key questions small business people and entrepreneurs ask themselves every day.

We're different from other online sites. We use the stories and experiences of real small businesses, tapping into their expertise to give you reality-tested solutions to help your business thrive in a constantly evolving marketplace. And to give you an added edge over the competition, we post fresh material from the industry's top professionals everyday. If you have a resource you'd like to share, or a story you'd like to tell, send it in via our COMMENTS page.

Steve and Kim, authors of "Building Buzz to Beat the Big Boys" and the just-released "Small Business Smarts: How to Survive and Thrive in a Recession," created Grabbing Green for entrepreneurs with the desire to compete successfully in today's competitive, technology-driven marketplace.

Each month we feature a new, free action guide. This month's guide, "Getting Started with Facebook," will teach you how to set up a Facebook account and fan page specifically for your business. And for those searching for a strategic approach to retail marketing, we provide a variety of in-depth action guides and our books, all available for purchase in our PRODUCTS section.
