As
our 5 year celebration continues, we are looking back at all of our
past and continuing projects and looking forward to new
endeavors. Anniversaries are a great time for reflection, but
also planning.
We
are looking forward to beginning new Collaborative Poll projects
starting with Cuyahoga County in 2011. CMOR is also
expanding its field interviewing division, having worked on several new
field interviewing projects this year and planning several more for
2012.
These
are just some of the things CMOR has been doing and are planning for
the near future to assist organizations in gaining the insight and
information they need. How can we help your organization?
We would love to collaborate with you on future projects!

5 Lessons Learned in 5 Years as an Entrepreneur
By Amanda Barna
 For me, being an entrepreneur all started in a supply
closet. Weird, I know, but true. I was organizing a supply closet as
part of my new corporate job when my former colleague and close friend
Michelle called me and asked me if I would be interested in starting a
new company with her. After a great deal of laughter (at Michelle) and
answering concerns (from my family), Michelle and I both quit our
stable jobs and started CMOR. And what a ride it has been.
The past five years
have been full of excitement, uncertainty, opportunities, and lots and
lots of learning. I can honestly say that I have learned more in the
past five years than in any other time period in my life, even college.
Given that CMOR has just celebrated our 5-year anniversary, I thought this
would be a good time to reflect on the top 5 things that I have learned
in my five years of being an entrepreneur.
