This week we talk to Celeste Terry, host of Demystifying Non-Profits on Global Talk Radio and her podOmatic podcast, Digital Sista.

Digital Sista dishes about why she is so passionate about helping others to cross the digital divide; how she's stayed on point with her podcast for two years and what she sees as the biggest obstacle between many urban entrepreneurs and the technologies that can help grow their businesses.

We'll discuss the benefits of learning about great free resources that are available and the role Celese will play in the upcoming Completely Virtual SOHO Conference (www.GoCompletelyVirtual.com) happening online from December 5 - 7th.

You'll also learn about some incredible growth opportunities including seminars, free workshops, online networking opportunities and giveaways that will help you get started on the right foot in the coming year.

Downsizing, corporate mergers and other changes in the marketplace have made relying on someone else's business savvy less palatable. A growing number of people every year abandon their corporate positions to begin their own businesses.

According to statistics, women are starting businesses at twice the rate of men. African-Americans and Hispanics are rapidly starting their own businesses. Many of these businesses are doing quite well, while others struggle.

The Urban Entrepreneur's Reality Show will address the issues and obstacles that small business owners face and how these can be overcome using resources that are well within their reach. A theme for many of these resources will be the idea of "going virtual." Technology is a part of every facet of our lives. Small business owners in nearly every industry can take advantage of technology to improve their ability to work, reach new markets and increase their revenue.

Each week we will address resources and strategies that can increase the success of small business owners regardless of their zip code, industry, culture or income level.
