This is part two in a two-part series. Part one is featured on Biz Chicks Rule today.
My twin two-year old daughters reminded me, without words, about business and success. When you are starting a business, you need to think of it as raising a child. You start by crawling, then walking, then […]
Surviving isn’t a reason to exist.
It’s not good enough to want to survive, your goal should be to excel. This is something I’ve dealt with personally - a company that survived but could never get beyond that.
Most of the time, surviving is better than dying, and if your business survived through the dot com […]
Tackling big markets is great. Nobody wants to start a company in a market worth $5. Creating new markets is great too, but most startups are built in existing markets - and often they tout the enormity of those markets as a great reason to get into them.
“The mobile industry will be worth $50 billion […]
Everything else is…
How you market is important. Are you being authentic? Are you targeting the right prospects? Are you following up?
How you treat customers is important. Are you providing the best level of service possible? Do you genuinely care about them?
How you manage your money is important. Are you watching every penny? Are you questioning […]
It’s time for another Carnival! As the Carnival rolls into town I want to thank every participate and promoter of the Carnival. It means a lot to me and to others who get a bit more awareness, buzz and traffic to their blogs.
For the past few weeks I’ve been running the Carnival here. Starting in […]
The Carnival of Entrepreneurs is back with a slew of great content to start 2007.
Please check the links on the sidebar to read the past Carnivals. There’s a lot of content, but hopefully my summaries help you pinpoint what’s of particular interest to you; and then you can go beyond that, broaden your horizons […]
Entrepreneurs are nothing if they’re not failures. Yup, we fail. And it’s more common than you might realize.
Truth is, failure is part of being an entrepreneur. Trial by fire and all that nasty stuff. Although it’s not necessarily that entrepreneurs are huge risk takers, we are doers. And doers make mistakes.
When you do fail, it’s […]
It’s time for Round 3 of the Carnival of Entrepreneurs, with a whackload of great, entrepreneurial content. This round, like the first and second rounds did not disappoint.
I’ve highlighted some of my favorites, but I encourage you to check out everything and anything that interests you.
As well, please help promote the Carnival by linking to […]
The first Carnival of Entrepreneurs was a huge success. I received an overwhelming number of great submissions and I hope it generated some traffic and awareness for the bloggers that contributed.
Round 2 of the Carnival of Entrepreneurs is no different. Lots of great submissions. Lots of inspiration. Lots of practical guidance.
I encourage you to check […]
The naysayers have gotten to me.
Ideas are worthless.
But, they actually miss the entire reason why that’s the case.
Mark Cuban on the other hand, gets it. He recently wrote a blog post titled Success and Motivation: Drowning in Opportunity / Winning the Battles You Are In.
He’s listed 3 rules he uses when starting a new business […]
