Photo by LawGeek Well, actually no. Social media is here and it’s changing the way we do things on a daily basis. But if Twitter, Facebook, Plurk and all those other social networking sites mushrooming up every nanosecond or so have that much power in the real world… We should all be running screaming in fear away from our laptops, computers and iPhones, right? Wrong. You see, the social media...
Photo by Molly OK, so I know by some people’s standards I might be seen as a pretty busy bee. I blog, I ghostwrite, I guest post, and I Tweet just to name a few. I also have my own projects in the works, I have a home to maintain, and mustn’t forget to work on my fitness while I’m at it! And I do it all with a smile while raising two crazy boys… so take THAT Super Mom! So I won’t even get into...
Photo by Dev Null Let me tell you a little story first. (Warning.. grab a coffee, take a break… this one is long!) Once upon a time I too, was in that same swivel chair as you are, thinking about my future and the futility of my career as I realized that I was headed for a bleak looking dead-end. Yep… My near future dead-ended smack into a solid brick wall that could just about stop a...
GAXWUDYZ3WXS <—Please ignore the geek speak! Photo by Duncan Leaving the rat race to build your own business is a bit like jumping off a plane. You know that there’s a chance of your parachute malfunctioning and your day ending with a resounding splat… but still you do it in the pursuit of liberty and happiness anyway. Bully for you! You’re daring and adventurous. I like it...
OK, so after much ado about nothing, I’m announcing the winner of the “Oh So Lucrative” $10 contest! First though, thanks to all of you who took the time to introduce yourselves and come out of Lurksville. It was fun, and I got to see that more than just my Mom secretly stalks me! 😉 Luckily no restraining orders are needed quite yet, so I feel quite safe. After mucho deliberation, I decided that...
Photo by Rokito When I was younger, the idea of me being a professional writer was kinda laughable. I wrote poetry, but never considered myself “a writer”. And actually making money at writing? That was something I thought only big name novelists did. I was so clueless! (Only without the blonde hair and skimpy skirts… and the shopping habit…) As I got older, the idea of writing for...
So what’s your name? OK ladies and gents… I know many of you are subscribed to BGB’s newsletter (hint: the sign up box is over to the left!), as well as RSS and Email. .. so I KNOW you’re reader’s of mine! (Yep, your secrets out!) However, only a handful of you have made yourself known to the rest of us by commenting (which I totally appreciate by the way!!!) and...
Alright, so I know you’re busy and have a ton of stuff on your plate… who doesn’t? But really… you can’t be so terribly busy that you can say no to watching a few great movies for your weekly dose of R and R can you? (Don’t answer that, just watch them anyway!) And yes, I know I’m demanding. I understand that you may have a lot weighing on your mind these days, what with your new business...
OK, so I know that when you’re first starting out as an entrepreneur, there’s a tendency to accept all of the projects that come your way. As in all… like A-L-L. Luckily it’s a natural inclination and you’re not just bonkers. Chalk it up to perhaps being excited to establish your expertise and credibility—you want to show the world that you can do anything! Or maybe, like many first...
I’ve always been a bit on the ‘special’ side, since as far back as I can remember. And by ‘special’ I do mean ‘special’! My sister and I fondly call ourselves dorks on a regular basis, and wear the label proudly. Heck, I’m surprised we don’t have special t-shirts made by now that we wear in public. With afore mentioned pride. And brightly colored too! I’m not certain just where I got this...
