			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://blog.cmiinteractive.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/200px-McDonalds_Corporate_Logo.svg.png" width="200" height="152" alt="200px-McDonald's_Corporate_Logo.svg.png" style="float:right; border:5px #ffffff solid;" />Question: Does McDonald&#8217;s make the best hamburgers?</p>
<p>Answer: No (unless you ask your 5 year old)</p>
<p>Then why are they the world&#8217;s largest chain of hamburger fast food restaurants if they don&#8217;t make the best hamburgers? It&#8217;s because McDonald&#8217;s knows how to get you or your kids into their restaurant. They are great at marketing their products and they have carved out solid facility administration rules and standards for each of their franchises.</p>
<p>Are you afraid to open a business? Starting a new business is safe and simple, if you know what you are doing. The secret behind a great company&#8217;s start is in avoiding the pitfalls of starting and running a small business.</p>
<p>First of all, a successful small business starts with the owner&#8217;s personal characteristics. As a business owner you will not have an overseer to guide you in the right direction. You must be motivated to and focused.</p>
<p>Poor choice of opportunity (or a lack of market research) is another small business&#8217;s administrative pitfall as well as failure to seek professional advice. Here at CMI Interactive, we focus on providing serious knowledge for science professionals. We offer business mentoring, discounted continuing education, industry news, as well as a toolbox full of small business tools for independent contractors.
