    Hi. I think you’ll need to add a lot more detail to your article to get it featured because you’re talking about someone’s financial situation. The article is too general at the moment. Your title says that you are going to share "secrets" for growing a small business. The information in your article needs to reflect this title. In addition, you should include authoritative references to support your suggestions to readers.

    It’s risky to say “Don’t think for a moment you made a wrong decision” in reference to someone starting a business. Running a successful business requires a lot of thought and work, as I’m sure you know.

    Your bio says that you specialize in extensive research about business and financial management, but you don’t state your experience or qualifications on your profile. You need to describe the businesses that you’ve run. You also need to give your relevant academic qualifications if you have them. You should mention your business experience within the article.

    Titles and subtitles should be written in title case. You’ve numbered your first bold heading but not the others. You should proofread the article. Using one of the disclaimers that HubPages provides is important because your article is related to finances.

    Good luck.

    Title should be changed to something like "5 tips to running a small business" as there are no secrets there.
    Article starts out with a number list, changes to bullet points. (Be consistent. Why not all bullet points?)
    Article should include at least one helpful image.
    No reader interaction. The reader will be off of this page in less than a minute.
    "be open to critic" should be "be open to criticism"
    Do you have any experience with business or did you just write this because you were interested in the subject? If you do, include that in your profile at the top of the page. If I were a reader and I found this on Google I would bounce out immediately and find an artile written by someone with experience.
    Best of luck.
