Starting your own business is rarely easy. You may be working late into the night and on until morning for many years, but the benefits of developing your own business, and being your own boss, can be significant. Here at The Mendocino Voice, we’ve experienced our fair share of both the challenges and the rewards since launching our new online newspaper in September — and we’re just getting started! Every day we learn something new about how to do a better job at covering local issues, and we hope we can keep improving. From the beginning, we’ve had assistance from West Company, a non-profit economic development organization that helps small businesses in Mendocino get on their feet.
