Ready to take the plunge and start your own business?  Or are you held back by visions of your family eating nothing but ketchup sandwiches and phone calls from your mother-in-law asking you when you’re going to get a ‘real job?’

 

Let me ask you this—are you passionate about this idea of yours?  Do you have a dream of owning your own business and you just can’t stop thinking about it?  Then go for it.  Find work you love and you’ll never ‘work’ another day in your life.  You’ll begin to feel sad for people who say, “Hang in there baby, Friday’s coming.”

 

To help you get started, here are fifteen things you should know about becoming an entrepreneur: To read more of this article, CLICK HERE.

Molly Ramsay, a recruiter with MedMan, was hiking near Fairbanks, Alaska, when she received word that a top candidate had backed out of a deal.  Not to worry.  MedMan provides Ramsay with the tools and flexibility she needs to get the job done.  She was able to conduct her investigation and negotiate an offer with the next candidate from a trailhead on the Yukon River.

 

Medical Management, Inc. (MedMan), helps medical groups manage their practices.  It’s a model of how to run a multi-million dollar company virtually.  After going digital 10 years ago, the company has saved thousands of dollars on overhead while allowing employees the flexibility to work while touring France, staying at home with their children and yes, even hiking in Alaska.

I love our Traveling Office community. 

 

To keep this site a free, vibrant place to share ideas, let’s help as many people as possible become entrepreneurs so they too can share what they’ve learned with all of us. 

If you’re a new or experienced entrepreneur, especially one thinking of taking your business virtual, I want to hear from you.

 

If you could receive the perfect entrepreneurial training program to help you succeed in today’s business world, what would it look like?  What would you like to know?  Where would you like to learn?  Online?  In person?

 

There are a lot of ‘systems’ available today, but I want to create an entrepreneurial training program based on what YOU want; not what someone else says you want.

 

If you specialize in training entrepreneurs on a particular topic, I want to know that too.

 

Will you help?  Anything goes!  Leave your comments and ideas HERE.

Where’s the Wi-Fi? Featured City: Boise, Idaho

coffee-and-laptop-photoHas this ever happened to you?

You sit down at a café with your laptop and freshly purchased latte.  You’re preparing to meet with a prospect.  You turn on your browser and up pops the equivalent of a virtual raspberry, asking you for “your credit card, please.”  Or, maybe you discover there are no available wireless networks at all.

 

Now you’re stuck.  You can’t leave, because your client is expecting you.  You’ve just spent five bucks and will likely have to spend another five bucks after your meeting at another café—one that has Wi-Fi so you can actually get some work done.

 

Personally, I don’t get it.  It seems to me that charging customers for Wi-Fi is like hosting a successful grand opening and then making your guests pay for cocktail weenies.  To read more of this article, CLICK HERE.
