starting your business
Why get help making decisions when you know what you want to do?
I was reflecting this morning about how clients who came to me to sort out their life’s direction often knew all along what they wanted to do.
Sure, we needed to do some tweaking and planning, but their desires were pointing them in the right direction.
So why did they feel the need for my input?
For some [...]
Finding clients: If you can help people with these two things, you’ll be in demand
It’s really hit home lately how people, especially entrepreneurs, feel distressed by two things more than ever:
They are overwhelmed by the array of choices: strategies to implement, tasks to complete, technology to learn or outsource, etc.
They are facing this alone and will fully bear the consequences of their choices.
Gone is the established set of procedures [...]
Pre-planning; the most overlooked factor in successfully starting a business
The post title might surprise you, because so many people who have a dream to start a business get stuck in the planning phase, so how can I say it’s overlooked?
What happens is that the planning never gets finished, either because it’s too vague (and therefore more akin to day-dreaming) or lacking in a cohesive [...]

Creating a business with meaning; isn’t that a luxury in uncertain times?
That’s the question someone asked me recently, and I’m sure she wouldn’t be the only one with that opinion.
I believe that it’s more important now than ever to create a business that has meaning for you, and here’s why.
A meaningful business will increase your chances of being successful
I’m saying that for very practical reasons.
Your marketing [...]
Are you afraid of starting your online business?
The most natural response to this question is to say:” Of course not! Why would I have spent all this money taking internet marketing courses if I didn’t want to do this?”
Before you dismiss the question as being irrelevant in your case, it would be worth your while to take a bit of time to [...]
Why you might still be stuck starting your internet business despite buying courses on how to do it
Maybe you’ve bought books or programs on how to market online, gone to live events or even part of a coaching program, and yet are still stuck, meaning you haven’t made any money, chosen your niche and business model, or haven’t started altogether.
That happens to quite a few people actually, even if they’ve been taught [...]
Questions to ask yourself if you are starting an internet business
The main questions are the same for both off line and online businesses:
Why do you exist; who are you serving and what are you doing for them?
What is unique about your offerings?
How do you plan to deliver them? You won’t know all of it yet, but you should at least have a general [...]
Most people don’t ask themselves the right questions when they start their online businesses
Using a gross over simplification, people come from one of two points of view when they are considering doing business on line:
They want to make money to pay the bills and/or escape their jobs
They want to tell a wider audience about the services they provide
Continuing to indulge my mood for grossly over simplifying:
Many people in [...]
The internet allows really nice people who provide valuable services to thrive…if they do it right
That’s why I’ve been devoting time lately to helping people succeed online.
Now at first glance, I don’t look like I’m an internet mentor. My mission is to:
Help entrepreneurs start and run successful businesses that reflect who they really are
Provide the tools to allow people to make money while doing meaningful, satisfying work
Contribute in creating [...]
