This is a guest post by James Adams. While I’m the first to say branding is about more than just a few business cards and a slick logo, branding literature is still important. Really, there’s something to be said for putting your best foot forward, and quality business cards can be a marketing tool well worth the investment, that allow you to do exactly that. So keep reading for some...
This is a guest post from the lovely Kazia. She’s a busy mom herself, and I’m a huge admirer of mom’s who are rockin’ it when it comes to entrepreneurship. Here’s her story on why she thinks her kids (and probably YOURS too…) are smarter than us all when it comes to biz. Be sure to make her feel welcome, and drop any thoughts or questions in the comments below...
I have a caveat for you: no matter how well-prepared you are for any eventuality in your business, no matter what you do to avoid all possible problems, you will never be able to ensure your success 100 percent. Contrary to the popular adage, all’s NOT fair in love and war. And make no mistake. Business is war, complete with state-of-the-art technology and sly tactics to outdo the competition. ...
Did you ever think that being “cool” was just for teenagers, wannabes and people with nothing else to do with their time? Think again. In the cutthroat world of business, there is nothing more important than projecting an aura that makes your brand sparkle from head to foot. Yes, sparkle my friend. As in being ridiculously interesting. Because in this day and age of digital technology, social...
Hey all you entrepreneurial rockstars. Have ya missed me? 😉 Unfortunately in addition to going through some family turmoil and custody issues with my step-son… I was also hit with a migraine early Monday eve, and it literally put me out of commission all week long. Today is the first day I’ve rolled out of bed without pain in my head. (Look… I’m a poet and didn’t know it too!) Hopefully, (fingers...
This is a guest post by Steve, regarding how important a role a blog can play in the success of your company. And as a blogger and entrepreneur myself, my blog is a huge part of the impact I make on potential clients every day… so this is me, giving this post a huge thumbs up!

This is a guest post by Carol Montrose. Networking today is vastly different than “the old days”. Romancing old clients, and seducing new clients used to be a face-to-face production… now… not so much! Carol explores the way things have changed, and how you can enhance your image today. 2010 style if you will. Networking doesn’t mean the same thing today as it did...
Photo by Dustin Diaz First up- a fracken disclaimer because you know I need one: I am NOT a doctor, a psychologist, or any other thing that ends in “ist”. So take whatever I say next with a grain of salt, not as gospel truth. Kay? They say that there’s a difference between hearing and listening. Hearing in my book is when something goes in one ear and right out the other. It’s ‘heard’ and...
Photo by YlvaS A light bulb moment happens occasionally. And during this moment… it occurred to me today that perhaps a bit of organization to Big Girl Branding’s content could be in order. With that in mind, here is the first of many (I hope) to come “cornerstone pages”, “pillar pages”, or “tutorial pages”… whatever particular handle makes...
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.
