This is a guest post courtesy of Melissa. I’m glad she’s covering this topic because talking categories and tags bore me to tears! LOL However they are a necessary evil when you run a blog, and Melissa does a great job of explaining why. Methinks I may redo my own categories in the near future to make finding things more streamlined! Please make her feel welcome by sharing your...
This is a guest post courtesy of Lior again. Excellent advice to ensue! Happy reading BGB’ers, do make him feel welcome by sharing your thoughts in the comments below. The failure of a leader does not necessarily mean the failure of your organization. Nevertheless, aside from bankruptcy, the fall of a key leader may be one of the most threatening events in the life of a company. How your...
This guest post is brought to you courtesy of Shane Lee.

I’d love to hear how you’ve gotten creative financing your entrepreneurial passion. Feel free to share your story in the comments below. I became a freelance writer...

This is a guest post courtesy of Amanda with her take of the top 5 oddball (yet oddly effective) promotional items you might want to consider implementing for your business and brand.

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...
This is a guest post courtesy of Alan Grant. I thought it’d be a fun piece to share with my fellow dorks as choosing your work space can vary massively based on personal predispositions. This post highlights a couple (ahem) less than traditional ideas for your office. My advice for the day? EVERY one should have an office in a fracken tree! Now who wants to make me one? 😉 Oh and as always...
This is a guest post courtesy of Christian Muller on three big potential risks that can often go hand in hand with a rebranding effort. While it’s not impossible to do successfully, it’s also not always easy. In fact I’d even go so far as to propose it’s never easy! But if you keep in mind these brief tips from Christian, you can increase your odds of a successful attempt...
This is a guest post by an old buddy named Nick Thacker. Since I’m all about leverage and teaching yourself to work smarter (not harder) I thought this was a great fit for BGB readers. And since this blog is about biz and branding… well how could I resist?! So cop a squat, whip out your granny glasses, and get to readin’. And when you’re done, be sure to drop a thought in...
