The Secret to Business Success: Diligence
August 12, 2007
Everyone enters into self employment for different reasons. It is a tough but rewarding road to travel. There are numerous challenges along the way. If you have ever written a business plan or run a business for a long time, you know there are days that are just plain depressing. Do not lose heart! There is light at the end of the tunnel.

Creativity in Business
September 18, 2006
Business is changing and so to do we as business owners need to adapt and change. More than ever entrepreneurs must become more creative and innovate to thrive.
To varying degrees, every entrepreneur I have met has a streak of creativity and the ability to innovate - to look at the world a little differently. Perhaps I am preaching to the choir but over the next few years I plan to research and explore this topic in depth. It is that important - I have a question for you.
