This is a handy infographic courtesy of WhoIsHostingThis.com. Obviously LinkedIn can be a valuable social platform in successful business building. But are you using it effectively? If at all? My guess is that you (like me) could stand to learn a trick or two on increasing the effectiveness of your LI efforts in the least amount of time. So keep a readin’ and let me know if you found this...
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...
Howdy doody all. OK so I am definitely not yet on the Pinterest bandwagon as yet (still waiting on that invite Pinterest! Hint. Hint.) however all I see and read about lately is Pinterest this, Pinterest that. So when Tom approached me regarding a guest post on the very topic, I said sure, I’d be happy to run it because I might learn a thing or two along with you guys! Entrepreneurs live...
Woo! BGB is back online! If you dropped by at all in the last week or so, you may have noticed the unfortunate maintenance signs hanging around the joint. Me with my DIY’er mentality tried to fix a teeny design issue and ended up creating a much BIGGER design issue. In short, I broke it. Yes I’m a dork and that’s what I get for trying to tell myself I got skills. Heh. Anyhoo...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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? Â So short and sweet it it! Â When you’re done, I’d love to know how you’re doing...
Hey BGB’ers… time for me to share some info on yet another cool event that might just be happening in your area sometime soon. Especially if you live in or near areas like L.A., New York, the ATL, and Chicago to name a few. And for my Orlando people, mark your calendars for May 19- 21! (No, really… mark your fracken calendars, I want to see you there if you can make it!) 😉 Where exactly is...
