Working from home is a dream quite a few folks share. Regardless of whether you’re telecommuting for an employer (more and more people are today) or rocking your own business or freelance service, there simply has to be a dedicated space allocated just for work. (OK at least mostly just for work.) Even though working from home can mean the elimination of the dreaded commute and the horrific...
This is a guest post courtesy of Bianca where she talks tips about going all entrepreneur. She also talks about the exhilaration and fear of taking that plunge to personal freedom. I thought it appropriate food for thought for a beautiful Saturday afternoon. 🙂 Please make her feel welcome in the comments below. I’ve jumped out of a plane- twice; and spent all my money traveling throughout...
Speaking as a woman who knows, it’s pretty common to have a million things on your plate. Women tend to take the weight of the world on their shoulders. I know I do! Add to that trying to build a new business up and your days can seem pretty daunting. Where do you start? How do you find clients? How do you increase sales? How do you create a great brand?

I swear I’d be lost without...

(Really… why are we plagued with malicious competitors anyway? Haven’t they heard there is plenty of room for everyone?) A reputation challenge can be disastrous for your business and brand, and the damage can sometimes...
Hey there BGB’ers… this is a guest contribution regarding something highly important to the success of your biz. In a word? Money honey! OK so that’s two words. Sue me, maybe you’ll get some. 😉 Actually this post is more about the MANAGE-ment of money which we all know is just as important as making it. If you don’t learn to manage it properly you can make money all...
Howdy hoo BGB’ers! Just wanted to give you the heads up on a guest post that went live last month, but I missed the public unveiling somehow and failed to share it with you guys! So here ’tis if you’re so inclined. Enjoy and I’d love comments, sharing and feedback as always!
Just ran across this by Copyblogger and had to share with my BGB’ers. MAD fab! And the pic that accompanies it, I found and just thought it looked really cool and all immortal-y. Heh. Anyhoo, hope you get a kick out of both and feel free to pass the graphic along to your own people and mayhap reveal Copyblogger’s awesomeness to a few new fans that haven’t yet found ’em...
