Can anyone be a business owner?

YES! Not only do I believe that everyone can be a business owner… an entrepreneur. But I also believe that everyone already is.
It’s just a matter of how you look at and define “employed by someone else” versus “employed by self.”
Here’s how I explain it:
Let’s say Acme Company employs John Doe. But, for the moment, [...]

“90% of all businesses fail in 5 years!”

Networking at chamber events is fun. I get to meet new people, share ideas, exchange business cards, and learn what’s new in the world.
“What do you do?” was the question that came at me at just such an event yesterday from a middle-aged gentleman in a gray pinstripe suit.
I handed him my business card and [...]

How much money does it take to start a business?

Many people think that starting a new business takes a great deal of money. Realistically, many do.
You can’t start a trucking business without a fleet of trucks. And you can’t build a freestanding restaurant without a lot of time and money.
I have two primary goals at ThinkSelfEmployed.com. The first is to help people start a [...]

Economy is “on the verge” of growing

CNNMoney.com reported yesterday that 4 million loans are delinquent… and that “the highwater mark should come this fall.”
According to the report, the number of Americans who have fallen at least 30 days behind on their home loan payments jumped 44% in the second quarter from a year ago.
That puts delinquencies at a record 9.24% of [...]

Great wisdom

Not only do I get a great meal when my wife and I visit Hunan Balcony on Johnson Avenue in Riverdale, New York. But I also get great advice.
My fortune cookie last night read:
Better to do something imperfectly
than to do nothing perfectly.
It doesn’t matter what your endeavor. Nothing is ever or will be perfect. [...]

Get rich quick

Like you, I see opportunities daily that claim to help someone make thousands of dollars a week or month in a business of their own. Many, of course, have to do with Internet businesses.
The one thing that these all have in common is that they boast tremendous financial rewards.
I clicked through to an offering this [...]

The story the unemployment numbers don’t tell!

The number 14,500,000 (actually more, depending on who you ask and how you count) unemployed is a big number with a lot of zeros. But it doesn’t tell the real story.
Behind that 14,500,000 statistic are unemployed victims of the economy. They represent stories of real people and real families who we caught by a thundering [...]

Success is its own motivator

Success is a powerful motivator in and of itself.
Once you taste success, you gain euphoria, excitement, pride, and confidence. In turn, that helps to motivate you for the next challenge… and the next… and the next.
Accumulating small successes adds up.
One (1) small success may not seem an impressive result. But when you add [...]

Avoid unnecessary distractions

Most people who start a new business are doing it for the first time. So they don’t have the firsthand experience of knowing what to do and what not to do during those critical first couple of months.
If you head off to the library or a bookstore or surf the Internet, for example, you’ll find [...]
