OK, so my time’s been a bit crunched today so I’ve not written my usual length post. (What’s that you say? You’re relieved?! I think I’m hurt…) But I did want to take a few minutes to talk about Twitter, as I’m a pretty active Twitter user myself. OK, so a couple of weeks ago, cyberspace was all agog about Twitter’s announcement about rolling out new features and a new business model...
Chances are the answer’s yes. I know I am a bit of a workaholic, most definitely. But the problem is, my work often doesn’t feel like work, which is why I get so into it. And when it does feel like work, I do it anyway because I’m motivated to earn more revenue and build my business up even bigger and better. You now, some folks say that the harder you work, the faster your business will grow...
OK, so this might stem from the fact that I’ve been taking Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace class now for the last several weeks. And in fact I wrote a post not too long ago where I talked about some of what I’ve learned so far on getting intentional and focusing on your goals. And then I talked about good ole Dave Ramsey again when I talked about emergencies being guaranteed to happen… that’s just...
OK, so I’m inspired to write about distractions again today simply because I’m stuck in a hospital room at the moment with my lovely mum, and did you know hospitals are ripe with distractions? Who’d a thunk it right? But I’m certain if I was home, I’d still be distracted because quite frankly… it’s a daily battle! When you’re working from home, you need lots of will power. No really, I mean LOTS...
When you’re starting out on your own and establishing yourself as an entrepreneur, the hours can be very long. And when you’re a one-woman team, juggling between being the CEO, the marketing guy (um, girl…), the secretary, the accountant, the tech administrator, and even the janitor (!) it’s hard work. Long workdays can suck the energy from you. I know, I’m feeling that energy suck today! And...
OK, maybe not exactly religion, but heck if you’re a smarty… you’re a smarty! Worship at the altar of smarty pants and flaunt it if you know it. Er… or something to that effect anyway. And if you don’t yet know these 5 things, prepare to be enlightened, and join the ranks of smarty pants the world over. Dum da dum dum… Ooohh… that was a bit dramatic wasn’t it? Alright, enough with the...
Working a J.O.B. sucks. And I can say that because I used to work one. A back-breaking one at that. And now I don’t. Yay me! I’m J.O.B.less! Does that make me a slacker? Not even. That makes me 100% self-employed. 100% self-sustaining. 100% entrepreneur and singer of freedom and contentment. Now I don’t say that to brag, not at all. If you met me in person you’d find I’m pretty humble 99.87%...
OK, so in keeping with the SEO kick I’ve gotten on the past week or two, this is a guest post by Remy Shepard on the importance of always sticking to the basic before branching out and getting all complicated. This is applied to SEO strategies, however, I feel the basic message applies to just about everything in life. Start with the basics and work you way up from there, and you...
Being an ‘entrepreneur’ has a ton of challenges. When you’re a freelancer on top of that (meaning you cater to clients, not just “customers”) there are even more of them! One of the biggest challenges I think with being a successful freelancer is in finding the right people to work for. Clients might be your boss (sort of) but guess what? They are also your partners! (Sort of). And, while it’s...
Delegation. What is this crazy idea you speak of?! Relax. It’s really not that crazy of an idea at all. “Delegation means delegating responsibility, authority and accountability”. Now… doesn’t that sound pretty sweet? Sheesh, it does in my book! Who wouldn’t want to hand off a bit of responsibility and accountability to someone else? In strictly a good way of course! 😉 Effective delegation...
