States are competing for new business much like people bidding at an auction. The state with the lowest cost to the Company is likely to win the bid. Tax breaks, $1 land leases, state assistance, construction costs, availability to skilled labor, and logistics are major concerns for companies. States that solve these problems are likely to win the bid but many states aren’t even in the game.

I am always railing about how the best way to buy a business is to (a) buy a business worth a million dollars or more and (b) use investors -- as opposed to banks, lenders, etc -- to finance that business. But one thing I rarely talk about is the investor's point of view. Why this works out so well for investors and why they are more than willing to help you if any problems come up with that business.

No matter how adept a marketer you develop into, you'll still be a finite human being. We vigorously urge you to be fruitful, and multiply your small business marketing efforts by creating a core team made up of key employees. You already know who the achievers are in your company. They're that 20% of the workforce that is dedicated to the company and excels in their positions. They are the people that the company is built upon.
