Photo by Dev Null Let me tell you a little story first. (Warning.. grab a coffee, take a break… this one is long!) Once upon a time I too, was in that same swivel chair as you are, thinking about my future and the futility of my career as I realized that I was headed for a bleak looking dead-end. Yep… My near future dead-ended smack into a solid brick wall that could just about stop a...

GAXWUDYZ3WXS <—Please ignore the geek speak! Photo by Duncan Leaving the rat race to build your own business is a bit like jumping off a plane. You know that there’s a chance of your parachute malfunctioning and your day ending with a resounding splat… but still you do it in the pursuit of liberty and happiness anyway. Bully for you! You’re daring and adventurous. I like it...
OK, so after much ado about nothing, I’m announcing the winner of the “Oh So Lucrative” $10 contest! First though, thanks to all of you who took the time to introduce yourselves and come out of Lurksville. It was fun, and I got to see that more than just my Mom secretly stalks me! 😉 Luckily no restraining orders are needed quite yet, so I feel quite safe. After mucho deliberation, I decided that...
Photo by Rokito When I was younger, the idea of me being a professional writer was kinda laughable. I wrote poetry, but never considered myself “a writer”. And actually making money at writing? That was something I thought only big name novelists did. I was so clueless! (Only without the blonde hair and skimpy skirts… and the shopping habit…) As I got older, the idea of writing for...
This is a guest post by Adrian Swinscoe regarding a very important topic for a small business owner and entrepreneur… customer retention! Most conversations about business growth would have acquiring new customers right at the top of their list of things to do. For most established businesses, I think that’s rubbish! I would argue that the most important thing for any established business...
So what’s your name? OK ladies and gents… I know many of you are subscribed to BGB’s newsletter (hint: the sign up box is over to the left!), as well as RSS and Email. .. so I KNOW you’re reader’s of mine!

Alright, so I know you’re busy and have a ton of stuff on your plate… who doesn’t? But really… you can’t be so terribly busy that you can say no to watching a few great movies for your weekly dose of R and R can you? (Don’t answer that, just watch them anyway!) And yes, I know I’m demanding. I understand that you may have a lot weighing on your mind these days, what with your new business...
OK, so I know that when you’re first starting out as an entrepreneur, there’s a tendency to accept all of the projects that come your way. As in all… like A-L-L. Luckily it’s a natural inclination and you’re not just bonkers. Chalk it up to perhaps being excited to establish your expertise and credibility—you want to show the world that you can do anything! Or maybe, like many first...
