Hello fellow solopreneurs! I hope you had a massively productive week and have plans to get some fun time in during the weekend. I’m planning on visiting the Alt Build Expo, a showcase for alternative/green/energy efficient/recycled building materials and methods. I always get great ideas there for our fixer upper house, although the downside is that I always get some “I wish I knew that a year ago” ideas.
Here’s the news I picked for the week. If you’d like to see these links in your Facebook feed throughout the week, head over to my page and click the like button.
I was amazed by this story that news of Osama bin Laden’s death was reported on Twitter first!

I find clever thinking to be fascinating and almost thrilling. I loved this article on the difference between smart and clever and how to be both:

One of the reasons I focus on solopreneur businesses is that they are everywhere and I see them being a powerful economic force in the post-recession economy. Micro-enterprises are also on the rise, and this article talks about what they are and why they matter. Did you know 87% of US businesses fall into the micro-enterprise category?
That’s all the news for this week. Have a great weekend, take some time to recharge and tell me about your plans for the weekend in the comments.
