One of my favorite sites is Snopes.com, you know the one that debunks urban legends. Since I'm easily spooked, it sets my mind as ease about all those e-mail forwards warning me to avoid strangers asking for help in the parking lot at Target. A few clicks on Snopes.com, and whew, I realize they’re “False.” Maybe that's why I was excited when my editor came up with the idea for the cover story of the current issue of MyBusiness.
In "Debunking Small-Business Myths" we do our own bit of Snopes.com and set the record straight about the urban legends that run rampant in the small-business world--like that most small businesses fail, that you have to have money to make money or that small businesses aren't interested in exporting. Thanks to the NFIB Research Foundation for helping us disprove these myths and more.
