How is your business doing this year? Before you answer, what have you make 2011 a better year? It’s been a “mixed bag” for small business’s this year as the infographic from the Inuit Small Business Blog clearly shows. But that doesn’t mean you have to like it! Here are some things you can do to make your business better today:

Getting Started

Work at establishing trust? If you want your business to do better now and in the future, ask yourself first what you are doing to establish trust? This includes trust that your employees have in each other established through your company culture. But it should also include the trust your customers have for your product and brand. What Do You Want From Them

Build your online reputation. One of the best ways to do this, according to blogger Mariam Noronha, is through doing guest posting for business blogs. Often these blogs are in perpetual need of quality content and will give you an excellent opportunity to showcase your expertise and personal brand or that of your business. If writing isn’t your strength, possibly someone else in your company, a partner or family member could help. TheOneOfAKindPreneur

Networks & Strategy

Survey the landscape. Just like the infographic below of the state of small business, Joel Libava recently posted a detailed infographic showing an overview of the franchise industry.

Business Structure

Startup expert Martin Zwilling takes a few thoughts from the book of ancient military strategist Sun Tzu with a few suggestions about preparing your startup for the competitive realities of today’s market.

Avoid the traps. Even after your business is successful make no mistake. There are always risks. To learn more about the realities of what can go wrong and why, it’s a good idea to start with a checklist of some of the most common problems. Do you see your business described on this list? If so, look out. It may be the indicator of trouble to come. Bloomberg BusinessWeek

Adapting & Evolving

Be ready to start over. If something isn’t working, don’t be afraid to start over. This isn’t the case only with a new startup. Markets are shifting more rapidly than ever before. Being able to adapt is the sign of a business able to survive the many shifts in the current marketplace. Are you ready? WSJ

Use the right task manager. So many tools so little time: we’ve selected a post here that goes through many of the options. It may take some trial and error to find the option right for you. But the right answer will help you manage your lifestyle much more effectively in the future. What more to you want! You’re the Boss

Look for the right opportunities. These days they could be anywhere. Obtaining commercial property via short sale of foreclosure may allow you save considerable cost on your startup or expansion plans. With the economy still sluggish and many folks either forced to or interested in selling, the opportunities will be there…for those who do your homework. Open Forum

Celebrity real estate is always a hot topic since we are all interested in what is going on in the life of the rich and famous. In the current real estate market there is a lot of buying and selling, even in the celebrity arena. Selling a home is one thing that can be tied to each of the following: Project Runway, the NBA, and The Office.

Project Runway’s Heidi Klum and Seal Sell Their Mansion

According to L.A. Times, model, actress, and Project Runway

host and producer Heidi Klum and her musician husband Seal listed their plush Beverly Hills home for $6.9 million in June of this year and sold it only a few weeks later for $7 million - more than the list value. As Heidi heads into a new season of Project Runway and launches a website with AOL, she also managed to buy a new mansion in the heart of Beverly Hills. The Los Angeles Mediterranean-style mansion rests on multiple acres of land and is complete with a pool and tennis court among other luxuries. The couple purchased the 9,000 square-foot home complete with 9.5 bathrooms and 6 bedrooms in 2010 for $14.2 million, above the asking price of $13.4 million - indicating that multiple people were bidding to obtain this incredible property. Apparently, demand is just as high in the celebrity market as it is in the normal real estate market.

NBA Star Carmelo Anthony Parts with His Multi-Million Dollar Home

Heidi and Seal are not the only ones selling their multi-million dollar homes; so is NBA star Carmelo Anthony, better known by “Melo.” According to Denver Post, Anthony, who now plays for the New York Knicks and is a force to be reckoned with on the court, is also known for his stellar performance from 2003-2011 with the Denver Nuggets. This time he is in the news not for basketball, but instead for selling his home for $6.2 million.

Anthony listed the property for $9.5 million, already much lower than his 2007 purchase price of $12 million. However, with little financial concern for the new Knicks player who will receive approximately $65 million over the next three years, Anthony walked away from the property and decided to rent a New York condo as opposed to purchasing a new home. The buyer of this incredible estate definitely got a once in a lifetime deal.

The Office’s John Krasinski’s Makes a Sale

John Krasinski is best known for his acting, directing, and writing ability especially in relation to the hit television show The Office. According to New York Daily News, this marks the second time that Krasinski has attempted to sell his West Hollywood home in the last two years, with the first listing price of $1.245 million. However, when he listed his property in March of this year, his asking price was down to $945,000. Krasinski and his wife originally purchased the home for approximately $1 million in 2006. His second attempt to sell his home proved to be a lot more successful than his first, with his home selling for $880,000.

These celebrity real estate homes sell prices show that the decrease in home values is not occurring in a box that only affects those in the middle to lower class. Instead, celebrities are selling their homes for discounted prices as well, providing incredible opportunities for investors to leap on deals that may never be seen again in this lifetime.
