Although I am young, what you may not know about me is that I have been an entrepreneur for 10 years. Looking back I’ve learned a lot and, as you already know, I’ve tried to share some of my experiences on this blog.
But what I never talk about are the people who got me to where I am today. Without them I wouldn’t be an entrepreneur or nearly as successful as I am today.
These people are the reason I am successful today: [click to continue…]
One question that I constantly get asked by you is:
How do you create a popular blog?
The obvious answer is to write really good content. But good content isn’t good enough. When I started blogging 5 years ago I had information to share, but I didn’t have many readers.

This is a guest post by Shane Mac. Shane spearheaded marketing at Gist (acquired by Blackberry) and now he’s in charge of marketing at Zaarly. He’s also the founder of Hello There.
About a year ago, I sat in a coffee shop pitching a new idea to one of the founders of Startup Weekend, Clint Nelson. Never would I have predicted that this one meeting would have such an impact on the next year of my life.
This is my best effort to share what it takes to get a (bootstrapped) startup off the ground, while also having a full time job. Here are the ups, downs, the good and the bad. Here is what we learned:

The entire concept was all on one page of my notebook. Sketches, pricing models, tag lines and even people I should sell it to. I’ve put every idea from notes, books, speeches, and product sketches in an indexed notebook since I read a post by Tim Ferriss 2 years ago. [click to continue…]
Being an entrepreneur obviously isn’t an easy, which is why most people shy away from trying to be one. There are tons of services and programs for you to use that will make your entrepreneurial life a lot easier. So before you throw out the idea of becoming an entrepreneur, make sure you check out the following free services and programs:
Whether you love or hate Microsoft, as an entrepreneur, you’ll need their software. For example, I always find myself using Excel, Word and PowerPoint. There really isn’t a day that goes by in which I am not using one of those 3 applications.
In the beginning , you may not buy all of the Microsoft products you need as money will probably be a bit tight, but luckily for you, Microsoft gives all entrepreneurs their software for free through their BizSpark program. There aren’t any strings attached and they literally just hand you all the software you need for free. They even let you use their cloud program, Azure, for free for 750 hours.
The best part about BizSpark is that once you get your startup up and running, through their media relationships with sites like Mashable and Techmeme, they’ll help you get your business out to millions of people at no cost. [click to continue…]
