You made a New Year’s resolution, right? No, I am not talking about the one where you want to lose weight, I am talking about the resolution you made for your company.
I know the year has barely started, but I am going to make a bet with you.
Drum roll please… you’ve already failed to achieve your New Year’s resolution!
That’s right, although the year just started, I can confidently say that you have already failed. Now it doesn’t mean you can’t change this, but you are going to have to make some drastic changes. [click to continue…]
My business partner and I have been working together for about 8 years now and since then we’ve both learned a lot about business. When things start to go well you’ll start to feel like you know everything. But the harsh reality is, you don’t.
Just the other day my business partner and I were talking on the phone and we were trying to figure out all of the small things that the company could do to increase revenue and profit.
Funny enough, the majority of the ideas I came up with required our employees to put in some time. The problem with this is that our employees are already busy, which means they won’t be able to get to these things for months.

Are you a first time entrepreneur? Are you trying to learn what you need to do to make it in this world? If so, good!
Although you are going to fumble and make a lot of mistakes, here is why you’ll make more money than those know-it-alls:

Once you get some help, you’ll listen and try to act on the advice that was given to you.
On the other hand, know-it-alls have a tendency to not ask for help, and if someone goes out of their way to help them, they usually ignore the advice. Or even worse, they’ll keep on asking you for advice, but they’ll never act on it.
And if you ever get to the point where your customers start giving you feedback, you’ll listen. [click to continue…]
Starting a business is hard! You know it, I know it, and everyone else in this world knows it. But what you probably don’t realize is that it is really easy to screw up your business.
Entrepreneurs have to a tendency to mess things up through stupid mistakes. So save yourself from being one of these foolish entrepreneurs by avoiding the following mistakes:
If you want to be a big corporation like Apple, Google, or even Microsoft, you have to think big, right? Wrong!
None of these companies were thinking big when they first started. Thinking big will just cause you to spend more money than you have to and more importantly cause you to move really slowly.
Agility is what you have that a bigger company doesn’t. You can move faster than big companies even if you have a lot less resources. When you have a small team and little cash in the bank you tend to do whatever it takes to survive. [click to continue…]
