So why was our little hero locked in a small room in front of an abacus wearing a green tinted visor? Like all good little businesses, it was doing numbers. It found that they were hard. It felt good to build and manage its future, and knew the more it learned the stronger it would get.
And yet, it was only one little company. When it ran smack straight into the wall of something called 'capital gains tax' it stopped and had a glass of milk to cool off.
"I'm only one company!" It exclaimed. "Wouldn't it make sense if I worked on my work, and another company did this for a living? Wouldn't that mean I have more time in figuring out ways to help kids read?"
Skratch brought out its giant magnifying glass and began inspecting the 'Registry of All Known Businesses and Associates in the World, Ever' and found out there was help.
Best thing we've learned in starting a business is to know when to do things yourself and when to hire people who know their turf inside and out. Web designers design, artists art, and accountants account. Makes life simpler for us and keeps Skratch Publishing focused on developing products and services for kids and their parents.
Material on the blog is growing steadily, which is fantastic! New sections have been added, and new articles are on the way - So many people we talk to have great stories about reading, books and their connection to literacy and we look forward to sharing some of those experiences with all of you!
