BGGE.com has a new look and focus. Relaunch - January 1, 2010

BGGE.com has a new look which reflects its new focus - free or low-cost business products, services, and resources for novice entrepreneurs. With a strong emphasis on quality, BGGE also appeals to veteran entrepreneurs and the discerning consumer.  The official relaunch of BG&G Enterprises is planned for January 1, 2010.

At the end of 2007, I realized that BGGE.com had grown into a 800 page one-stop shopping "monster".  Not only was the site hard to maintain, I was beginning to feel the economic pinch due to dwindling sales.  A two-year review and overhaul of the online product and service offerings have resulted in a website that is more reflective of my home-based business. 

Currently, BGGE is divided into seven main channels - Bookkeeping & Taxes, Custom Web DesignBusiness Gift Shop, Free Business Tools, Free Webmaster Service Center, Free Education & Career Resources, and About Us.  Not only is the site smaller, it is easier to navigate and update.  Visit often as I continue to revamp the individual pages.  Feel free to post a comment in my guestbook.

By the way, I feel a complete overhaul of my blog is also needed.  So, I am starting from scratch.  In the future, not only will I be providing updates about "what's new" at BGGE, but I also plan to provide tips on what to-do and what not to-do based on my personal successes and failures throughout this "new" entrepreneurial journey.
