More Than Business … BABM is Balance

This month we take a look at how technology is driving new businesses and entrepreneurs in the Bay area. Most people in the country wouldn’t think that Florida, the Tampa Bay area in particular, is so rich in visionaries, research, and manufacturers that have led us toward the future of technology. Our orange grove and tourism economy is sharing the stage with biotech and information technology.

With a mission to educate, support and inspire, BABM reaches beyond reporting daily and weekly business news. We profile successful Bay area entrepreneurs and let you in on their secrets, what kept them moving forward when others would have given up.

As a business publication we understand the importance of utilizing every possible medium to reach our readers, our business owners and emerging entrepreneurs. It is our intention to constantly evaluate how to best serve our readers and adjust our course. We began in August by bringing on the best SEO (search engine optimization) expert in the bay area who has landed us organically on page one of Google for business magazine Florida. As we develop our website into the digital BABM, our marketing partners will be able to take advantage of our Google exposure.

We invite you to become a BABM Online member and be among the first to learn of special promotions, whether it’s our November/December 2-for-1 subscription rates, a discount on banner ads or business category sponsorships. As a BABM Online member you’ll be the first to know.

Business owners, CEOs, professionals and entrepreneurs work extremely hard to develop and grow their businesses. They are usually very cognizant of the balance sheet and bottom line. They don’t achieve “success” with an attitude of earn it so I can burn it. It would be more accurate to say they understand the importance of planning ahead and being socially responsible for the next generations. That’s not to say they shouldn’t and don’t reward themselves with the finer things in life. They do! You do --- and you deserve it!

From the first issue, BABM has offered columns to inspire you and encourage you to improve yourself as well as your business. In keeping with a balanced philosophy, as we step into 2008 BABM will be offering some great information regarding rewarding yourself as well as making thoughtful and wise investments in your future.

BABM is more than business --- it’s balance.
