Entrepreneurs all over the world suffer from a universal struggle. Productivity! When you’re in business for yourself, you often have so much going on it can be difficult to keep track of it all. As a result you get waylaid by the procrastination bug, or you drown beneath a mountain of “stuff” that you just can’t seem to get or keep organized. Apps to the rescue pal! I swear I’d be lost without...
This is a guest post by Danny Iny. We all have our moments of feeling overwhelmed, snowed under, and buried in feelings of stress and dissatisfaction with our daily performance. It’s normal and probably even a right of passage for entrepreneurs. But there are ways to bust out of the rut and get back on track. Danny shares his ideas below, and be sure to check out my take on this issue at...
This is a guest post from Aimee, on a subject near and dear to my heart since it’s something I struggle with all the time. Productivity and staying on task can be the bane of an entrepreneurs existence… when you work for yourself it can be HARD to stay disciplined enough to get your work done and keep your priorities straight. And I don’t know about you, but when I feel...
OK, so. When it comes to running your own small business, many people tend to think of “freelancing” as a dirty word. Personally, I really don’t see the difference. Small business, freelance business, entrepreneurship… they all mean the same thing to me, and that is- YOU WORK FOR YOURSELF! Get it? You and you alone are the Big Kahuna, you call the shots, you run the day...
This is a guest post by a gal named Breanna. This post is a bit shorter than what I’d normally run here on BGB but I found the message to be so inline with what I’m always a’ preachin’ and sheesh… she uses Alice and Wonderland as a reference! Who doesn’t love THAT? So short and sweet it it! When you’re done, I’d love to know how you’re doing...

You know all the reasons why running your own business is great—being your own boss, having a flexible schedule, less commuting. One thing you might not have anticipated was how...
If you’re the sort of person who makes a living out of using your imagination and creativity, then you know that losing the inspiration and the drive to write can sometimes feel like the beginning of the end. It’s like death in slow motion, like drowning in a sea full of sharks, like being left home alone in the middle of a snowstorm. It’s definitely not the most fun time of your life, and it’s...
OK, maybe not quite like Aerosmith. They’re pretty much Kings of the whole rockin’ it thang. But you can make every day count even when it feels like you can’t. I don’t know about you but I’ve been feeling like “work” is a bit slow lately. I find myself with not as much “vital I need to get this done to get paid shit” and more of the “less vital I need to get this done because I really want to...
Quick note: You may have noticed some funky looking links within my posts. This is my experimentation with monetizing my blog (I am after all an entrepreneur…) so if you’re a regular reader, you can feel free to disregard these links… they’re identifiable by the green color and double lines beneath them! 😉 Most freelancers and entrepreneurs may not be aware of it, but...
We all have those days. Those days where we let laziness and procrastination get the best of us. Those days where you don’t want to out of bed and pull back those curtains quite yet. You don’t want to start the day, preferring instead to prolong the warm fuzzy moments you stay curled up like a caterpillar underneath the covers. You want to skip breakfast and even forsake a shower and (gasp)… a...
