Entrepreneurship in my blood...

It's funny but every time I take a job working for someone else, I always seem to come up with an idea to create a new business. Since most of the ideas I come up with would take me off course of my dream, I usually just put it aside. I'm just never happy working for another company. I've had two... Sign in to see full entry.

Helpful books...

I'm always on the lookout for books that will help me to communicate better and ultimately help me to grow my business.

If you have a business...

or are planning to have one, please let me know. Having and running a business is a challenging quest and having the support of others in the same boat can mean a lot so I propose that we create our own support system here. Even if you are an independent contractor, you are in business for yourself... Sign in to see full entry.

The Vision, Part Two

A few days ago, I talked about the beginning part of the vision I have for my company. But now, I'd like to talk about a more long term vision.

Small Beginnings, Big Dreams

How many of you either have small businesses, are trying to start small businesses, have an idea and want to start a business, have a craft/art item you sell or want to sell, or simply need to make extra money to supplement your income?

The Vision...

Every dream in life requires a vision if it's ever to come to pass. Building a business is building a dream. If you can't envision where it's going and what it is supposed to be, you will never reach the goal. I tend to be very good at the overall vision of things and seeing where I want to wind up...

Endurance will pay off...

Sometimes the hardest thing to do when it comes to your own business is to endure even when it looks like nothing is happening.
