This is certainly my first experience with Google Reader, I had heard about it but never before was I interested in it. Now I consider it is a powerful tool that among other things will allow me a most appropriate process of research in my Action Research Project; the facility to stay informed retrieving the latest content from the sites people regularly visit is a real advantage.
I considered the sites I’ve chosen could offer me useful information around the theme of my research. I’m pretending to verify if the factors to become a successful entrepreneur are associated with special skills, good luck, taking advantage of an opportunity or perhaps all those together and after having the results, to build a sequential educational process where the interested in any entrepreneurial option can secure that their projects are feasible through its different stages: Marketing, Administrative, Finance and finally, it looks profitable.

These are the sites I have considered:

Programs and Services to help people to start a business and can operate it successfully - the site includes permanent and updated information about how to start a business, tutorials about the business plan, etc. The information is presented in English and Spanish.

http://www.sba.gov

Guide about how to start a business – the site is operated by My Own Business, Inc, that is a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to help people to be successful in business. Being the information presented by successful business owners is real guarantee that the interested will have not just actualized information but the vision of expert business people.

In the same segment about how to start a business, I’ve selected a site operated by Inc. Magazine. It offers a huge amount of information about different topics of interest on this matter.

The entrepreneur magazine, perhaps the most well known publication on business matters operates this site, that have the distinctive characteristic to offer not just permanent information about how to start a business, but useful techniques for those who operate one and need a permanent updating of their strategies in many different areas of the entrepreneurial focus.

My last selection was for the site businessknowhow.com; although it seems to be in the same line of information of the other four, it offers some additional ingredients that make it very attractive, i.e., the productivity and news, where they include templates, software, etc.
