Self Actualization is the Key

You can become anything that you want in this life, but you must live the life of what you want to become, you must be open to the ideas and problems of others, you can not limit yourself to only one way of thinking, and you must allow your strengths to shine through without holding […]

55+ Year-Olds Starting More Businesses than Us?

Have you read the July 2006 edition on Business 2.0? If you haven’t, you should because it’s an amazing business magazine – perfectly suited for young entrepreneurs such as ourselves. Ok, let’s get to the meat and potatoes of this post, or should I say the tofu and carrots for all you vegetarians (like me)?

Raw and Uncut: Two Entrepreneurs Talking

Over the weekend Reid Morrow and I had the chance of recording a sweet entrepreneurial chat. We spoke about various topics that entrepreneurs face on a daily basis such as: reading self-help books, fear, college, choosing your friends, and much, much more.

Entrepreneur’s Monthly Revenue : Back it up!

Did you ever come across a young entrepreneur’s blog where the author has posted their monthly revenue? If you’re like me, you have come across many of these blog posts and were left wondering why the author posted these significant numbers without any supporting information as to how that money was obtained or the underlying […]

Blogs: money, great content, or both?

Over the past few months I have been working on a little side project at Classhelpers. I originally created the site after being inspired to flip (re: build and sell for a profit) the site after reading an article over at College Startup, but now I am considering holding onto it.

Entrepreneurship is an Art

Running a company is like learning how to play chess: it’s easy to learn how the chess pieces move, but it’s pretty damn hard learning how to actually beat someone with that understanding.

Focus on making that Goal!

In light of the World Cup I’ve been playing more soccer than usual lately. I love soccer, don’t you? I’m not that good, but I don’t really care; I just love playing and having fun. Yesterday I was kicking the ball around and taking some shots. My shot was really off and I continued to […]

Ditch the suit!

Today I was reminded of how much I actually hate business suits after I wore one for a formal meeting. I don’t know if it’s just me, but I feel so suffocated and constrained when in a suit. That tight-ass tie around my neck is like a chain cutting off my bloodstream.
