This is a guest post by a dear man named David from The W.O.N.D.E.R. Technique ®. I thought it a suitable follow up to my Thanksgiving gratitude post, as typically the holidays can become a time of year where we as entrepreneurs (and humans) begin to assess where we’ve been and where we are going. Sometimes you might feel down on yourself if you haven’t accomplished everything you set...
Howdy… if you’re reading this, I hope it’s because you’re on a little mini vacay for the holiday and you’ve got some free time to catch up on your reading pleasure. 😉 Turkey day is around the corner and I don’t know about you but I’m gearing up for some yummy food, yummy deserts (pumpkin cheesecake anyone?) and possibly a nap to kick all nap’s asses...
When it comes to being an entrepreneur, it isn’t always easy. And whether you’re a solopreneur that outsources certain aspects of your business, or a small business with regular employees, good help can be hard to find! However it doesn’t have to be quite so difficult, if you put a few systems and practices into place first. When you know exactly what you need and what...
These days, entrepreneurship isn’t just for the mature and experienced adult genre. More and more youngsters (and I do say that with grain of salt, being in between mature and youngster m’self!) are dipping their toes into the self-employment realm, dreaming up the next big start-up that’s going to make all their dreams come true. And honestly, why the hell not? Success in the...
Thanks to Amy for this guest post. I’ve always identified with the saying that if you fail to plan you plan to fail. It’s resonated with me since I first dipped my toes in entrepreneurship. Unfortunately I’m abysmal at taking my own advice and didn’t make a plan when I started! But I quickly learned that without that plan, even if it’s just a loose one, you leave...
This is a guest post from Steve Waller. I’m all about creativity and the variety of ways smart entrepreneurs can compare business to other things in life. In this case, the military! And since I have a ton of appreciation for our military, even when I disagree with the way our government abuses it’s power, I thought this post a uniquely interesting fit for BGB. Enjoy and if you find...
This is a guest post from Ally. You already know budgeting and saving is a smart idea both personally and from a business stand point. But Ally gives you some hope that it doesn’t have to be all deprive-y and angst-y. And she also points out a few things you absolutely should not sacrifice when it comes to budgeting well for your biz. Hope you find the read useful and please drop any...
Yo! This is a guest post from James. You all know that entrepreneurship isn’t for the faint of heart. It takes guts to work for yourself, make a living without the security of a boss and a safety net, and at the end of the day totally rock at it. It takes sweat and determination, hard work and commitment. (Kind of like marriage, eh?) It also takes a brain just a wee bit off from the rest...
Every entrepreneur has dreams beating in their passionate little hearts of creating their first portrait of freedom by working for themselves. Shedding the shackles of their J.O.B. if you will. Maybe that’s you. Often times however, those same entrepreneurs get stalled out, because they aren’t sure WHAT they want to do for a business that won’t bury them under a mountain of...
Halloooo BGB’ers! 🙂 How’s it shakin’? This is another post by guest author Chris Hoole and his take on why planning is the shiznel for freelancers. Diaries, efficiency, breaking up, not down… well, you’ll just have to read it sweetcakes and see what he has to say for yourself. Now make him feel welcome ya’ll. You know what to do! (I hope.) Some people fall...
