Spending money to make moneyNow that I’ve moved out of the corporate world and am running my own business, I’ve experienced a huge mindset shift. Quite simply, I now look at my life decisions – not just business – in a Return On Investment (ROI) frame. Growing up, my schooling and activities were paid for by my parents. When I got to college, they helped me out with the first year and a half, and I paid for the rest.

I have some big news!
I have just signed up with a coaching services firm, Small Fish Business Coaching, based in Australia.

I don’t know what I don’t know
Sunday, October 25th, 2009My thoughts today are about my lack of experience in marketing and selling my company’s services. The problem is how to get started, because I don’t know how deep I’ll have to dig before I’m done.
Why such a tough decision?
Wednesday, October 21st, 2009In setting up my new business, one of the toughest challenges so far is picking a company name. I’ve been (kind of) working on that for a month now, but have really been putting concerted effort behind it for the last week.
