Let’s face it folks—standing out and being an excellent and successful entrepreneur is harder than it sounds. I mean sure, it looks easy as pie on paper, but reality is often quite a bit different than what the textbooks tell you. Sure it sounds pretty awesome, and often is. No boss, no corporate culture, no need to put in 8 plus hours of work in a drab office every day, surrounded by snippy...
I am currently outlining some product ideas that I hope to roll out in the future, and to put it simply… I need your feedback. I need to know what YOU as a reader of BGB and fellow entrepreneur (or wannabe entrepreneur!) would happily pay good money for me to create for you. Now I know it’s tough to part with money, which is why I need your help in the creation department. I only...
I’m not afraid to take a stand… Everybody come take my hand… We’ll walk this road together, through the storm…Whatever weather, cold or warm… Just let you know that, you’re not alone…Holla if you feel that you’ve been down the same road.

We’ve seen them all come and we’ve seen them all go. There were different gimmicks, different features, different ways of trying to reel in the public and get as many people as possible to sign up for an account.

OK BGB’ers… I KNEW I was going to do something like this, and Lord help me, I woke up this morning and realized I did. What did I do? I freakin’ forgot to add an interview to yesterdays Entrepreneurial Wisdom post! And it was my interview received from none other than ProBlogger Himself, Darren Rowse! ::insert HUGE frowny face of shame here:: My only defense is that Darren was...
Whew! It’s finally done! The big masterpiece I’ve been working on for two weeks. lol I decided to go with one massive post, with the option to download the post as a PDF rather than break it up into a series… that way ya’ll can get the full monty right away rather than waiting over several days. Quick background- I decided to put this post together because of some...
If you are in any sort of business at all (and I am guessing you are if you’re reading this blog) you understand just how important branding can be. Whether it’s a corporate brand such as Nike or a personal brand such as GaryVee, or a even small business brand such as your local clothing boutique… branding is a critical component when it comes to raising awareness about your company and gaining...
Hey BGB’ers! OK, today is the big day! The results of my first ever Blog Carnival, run by Miz Joella at BlogsWithWings and hosted by yours truly. First I want to thank everyone who participated; it was fun to read everyone’s views on monetizing a blog without ticking your readers off and making a general fat mess of it. J We actually got a ton of spam submissions as well, which was extremely...
