Networking: A Cost Effective Investment for Entrepreneurs
Let’s be honest. When most people think of making an investment in their business, their minds become clouded with thoughts of dollars and cents. They think about the cost of equipment, websites, lawyers, accountants, advertising, payroll, etc. Entrepreneurs especially feel the strain as they often bootstrap and throw all of their personal funds into their ideas.
Communicating as a Leader: Conference Call Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
Sadly, energizing, motivating, and inspiring are not words that are usually associated with conference calls. More often, words like boring, ineffective, and frustrating come to mind. Although there is a shift toward newer technologies like videoconferencing, webinars, and Skype, many business leaders still rely on conference calls to communicate with their colleagues, customers, and vendors.
Entrepreneurship: Get it Right from the Start
If you are thinking of starting a business this year, you will soon find that everyone around you has sage advice to offer. Here’s a laundry list of practical advice I have collected working with budding entrepreneurs to help you along the way.
1. Get excited. If you are not energized by your idea, why should anyone else? Show enthusiasm for your idea.
How User Experience Designers are like Therapists
In writing for NYEWeek, I always try to think of topics that will relate to the Entrepreneurial mind. The post I write today may or may not do so, but my hope is that it will invoke some ideas that will change your thinking about how you approach your customer. As I’ve mentioned in several previous posts on my blog I’m surrounded by counselors and therapists of all kinds. In talking with these folks, I can’t help but see the similarities that keep coming up between our two professions, those of Therapy and UX Design.
New Classifications of Entrepreneur
In a world of niche advertising, marketing and brand differentiation, it is little wonder that the title of Entrepreneur has been prefixed to further define to the world not only who they are, but also the market segment and/or mission they serve.
This new way of segmenting entrepreneurs is not only a boon to marketers and consultants like myself, providing a means to segment and target our audience, but also to the legions of emerging entrepreneurs who are in need of clarity and definition of their new life’s path.
