Yvonne Russell started writing on our SmallBizMentor.com in Oct 2007 and immediately made a very positive impact—so much so, in fact, that recently SmallBizMentor was named as one of the “Best Small Business Blogs You Might Not Know About” by AmericasBestCompanies.com. Only 11 other small business blogs were included on the list (of the hundreds of small business blogs in existence), so this is a considerable recognition for Yvonne.

SmallBizMentor is our blog devoted to small businesses and those who run them. America’s Best Companies is a “small business association dedicated to the future of small business.” Here is what the best small business blogs article says about SmallBizMentor: “How would you like to have your own small business mentor? Here you go… You’ll find a steady stream of business related topics here.”

Yvonne Russell has owned a number of small businesses, including a training & development business and a freelance writing business. Additionally, she writes on the Grow Your Writing Business blog and the HomeBizNotes blog. She is also an accredited Myers Briggs Trainer. She says, “The combination of exploring business and people potential, writing, blogging and sharing ideas and tips, all comes together here at SmallBizMentor.”

We extend our congratulations to Yvonne for this great achievement—it is certainly well-deserved. SmallBizMentor is as good as it is because of her hard work, excellent writing, and expertise.
