Following was reported in BizWorld - Small businesses optimistic for the year.

A total 50pc of companies in the Republic of Ireland expect their business prospects to improve in the year ahead and a further 30pc believe their business performance will remain the same, according to the first all-island survey among businesses with up to 100 employees
The 'Ulster Bank Business Confidence Survey' carried out by independent researchers Amarach Consulting in April 2007, assessed how businesses felt their company performed in the last year and how they feel about the year ahead.

In the Republic of Ireland, of the 5 in 10 companies expecting to achieve a stronger performance in the next year, over 20pc expect this to be fuelled by more orders and enquiries, with a further 20pc planning on expansion to deliver the expected stronger performance.

Only 15pc of businesses believe their operation will not perform as well in the year ahead and 45pc of these said their main concern was competition.

What does this report tell us? For me, the answer is that there will always be entrepreneur success stories - because of the determination of people who want to succeed in business and even earning money at home.

However, having said that, sadly there is an unsavoury element in the business world who use every - so called - 'business' opportunity they can to 'steal' from the business they profess to own and then put that same business into liquidation! These people invariably go on to repeat this at every opportunity.

It is therefore important that the genuine people who want to own their own business keep focussed and enlightened with all the entrepreneur success stories they can read.

Ways To Make A Lot Of Money - Bill Cullen

Ways to make a lot of money are explaind in Bill Cullen's number one bestseller - 'It's A Long Way From Penny Apples'.

This is a really interesting read, telling the story of his childhood in Dublin. I'm only half way through it as I can only spent about thirty minutes a day reading but really look forward to reading the next stage of his story.

The book is also quite heart breaking in places, such as reading about the famine. How the Irish people were thrown out of their homes, left dying at the sides of the streets through starvation, whilst other healthy produce was shipped out of Ireland - to England!

This guy went from a poverty childhood to building a business worth over £250 million. He has been very generous with helping and supporting many because of this.

Highly recommend you read this book, as one minute you are reading a true life fiction story mingled with the history of Dublin, life in the 1950's onwards and the ways to make a lot of money even at that time.

I found it very strange, as he and I are only a few years apart, lived just within a few miles of each other, I even went to school in the heart of Dublin, yet our childhoods were miles apart in respect of the material advantages we lived with.
