WORKING SMART: ATLANTA BUSINESS CHRONICLE

What determines success? Read this short article for some quick inspiration if you are trying to define success for yourself. Answering these questions might help shape one's career course:

* What do I want to do?
* What do I want to be?
* What do I want to see?
* What do I want to have?

Some behaviors that contribute to success:

an attitude of confident expectation, learning from top performers, committing and focusing, anticipating competition, persevering and "doing it now."

The Business Owner's Toolkit has documents and templates helpful for work and home use: sample letters, policies and contracts. The sample independent contractor agreement might be used for hiring freelance researchers.

UNIVERSITYANGELS.COM

An interesting article in Business Week (and one that may be in the archives by the time you see this) details the growth of a group called UniversityAngels.com.

Founded by three Harvard Business School grads, the group enables students and alumni from top universities to help each other in matching new entrepreneurs with investors (also known as angels).
