A B C D or X A P G

From Freud we learn that our dreams quickly melt away in the mornings when we try to remember them because of the lack of connections. Dreams aren’t easy to remember because they are an incoherent string of images – there are no clear patterns to make connections with.
That makes a lot of sense. Think about […]

What Bank Do You Use for Business?

Since starting my company in 2004 I’ve been using Commerce bank for my business accounts. At first everything was cool, but after the first year or so with them, things quickly began to fall apart.
Just over the past year I’ve endured numerous strings of fraudulent activity on my account. Most recently in August there was […]

It’s Tough & Rough Being an Internet Entrepreneur

Can you believe it: the internet recently passed the 100 million page mark. That’s amazing. Personally, I’m proud to be a part of such an evolutionary time that we’re going through. The internet is changing our lives and helping us to do things never before possible.
Many of us young entrepreneurs have ventures focused around the […]

Don’t Pay it Back – Pay it Forward

Remember that movie Pay it Forward? I don’t remember all the details of the movie, but I remember the main idea: a young student comes up with an idea for a class project. His idea is called “Pay it Forward” which means that every time he helps someone, that person doesn’t pay that person back, […]

Do Entrepreneurs Cook Anymore?

I remember once upon a time when I wasn’t an active entrepreneur (can you believe that? ha) and I always seemed to be cooking. I feel that back then, I had a lot more time to cook in the morning, afternoon, and at night. It was pretty fun, too.
Nowadays, to be honest, there are some […]

Be Careful Who You Get Into Bed With

As an entrepreneur you’re going to come across a lot of business opportunities. There will people who want to work with you because they love your vision, enthusiasm, or for whatever reason or another.
It’s important that you always give each opportunity a lot of thought and consideration before you jump right into bed with […]

The Burden of the Entrepreneur

Wouldn’t it be So Easy If
“I could just continue to work at my job, make my $60,000 per year, take my yearly 2 weeks vacation, purchase my BMW, and just sit back and enjoy my life without worrying about becoming ’successful’ one day like what those entrepreneurs are trying to do. Heck, I’m already set […]

Taking a Naturopathic Approach with Your Business

What’s Naturopathy?
Naturopathy is a blend of different therapies, all attempting to restore the body to health in the most natural way possible. Based on the idea that the body has the innate ability to fight disease, its techniques are noninvasive and designed to stimulate the body’s natural healing powers.

Naturopaths believe disease is not just a […]

Female Entrepreneurs in my Life, It’s Great

I’ll admit it: most of the entrepreneurs that I have dealt with over the past few years have been males. Why? Not too sure, really. To be honest, I haven’t met too many female entrepreneurs, at least not ones who are writing about their businesses via blogs and business journals.
However, I’ve been lucky enough to […]

Crunching Away with the Calculator

If you’re like me, you always have a calculator by your side. Math homework and grueling calculus exams aside, the calculator has become a trusted friend over the years. Calculators are great for entrepreneurs in many ways, especially when it comes to playing around with numbers and figures of your startup. Fun stuff, I tell […]
