We rely so heavily on our computers and electronic data. A small business could easily be devastated in the event of a hard drive failure or natural disaster. You need to regularly back up your data – at least once a week, and ideally even more than that.
To help small business owners along these lines, Carbonite is offering a free one year subscription to My Organized Biz readers. Here’s some information from them:
It’s never too late for small business owners to consider how they can best organize and prepare for potentially catastrophic affects such as fires, natural disasters or hard …read more

Fantastic response. Thanks again. We have much more to come!

Have a lot of projects to keep track off with many deliverables and tasks? We have just the thing for you! Tomorrow we’ll open a contest to give away the 7-column BBB weekly fridge grid pad. It comes with 52 pages, so you can get a year’s worth of planning in.
The pad is 3-hole punched so you can put it in a binder. It’s also magnetic, made to hang on your fridge. But it’s perfect to put on the side of a metal filing cabinet. See a week’s schedule all in one glance, but broken up by project. …read more

If you were reading along during our Great Blog Off, you know that I listed a plethora of great office supplies. It just so happens that #8 on my list was my iPod. It’s great for shutting things out, especially when you’re working at a coffee shop or any noisy area, or going for a run.
Do you want one but have hesitated to spend the money? Would you like to win one?
Then head on over to Biz Chicks Rule and enter their contest to win an iPod shuffle. You won’t win if you don’t enter! I’ll be back later today …read more

(www.myorganizedbiz.com) – Sometimes a piece of software just sounds so great, you really want to try it. But will you like it? It’s tough to spend a good chunk of money on something that may not even work for you. That’s why I love free trials. I don’t have to commit completely.

I’ve used several tools from 37 Signals, including BackPack and Basecamp. …read more
