. Track your progress (with flair, of course). When you’re juggling many creative projects (as most musepreneurs do), it can feel like you’re not getting anything done. Rather than getting frustrated, acknowledge that you’re moving forward even if it’s one baby step at a time. A great way to do this is to find a beautiful bowl, and each time you complete something from any of your projects, drop a bead into the bowl. Before you know it your bowl will runneth over!

7 Lessons Olympians Can Teach Entrepreneurs

by Ben Parr — What qualities would you come up with if you were asked to describe an Olympian? Perseverance? Determination? Fearlessness? Quick Wits? Teamwork? You could probably come up with a long list of admirable qualities. Now how about if you were asked to describe an entrepreneur? Don’t all of those terms apply to the most dedicated of entrepreneurs? Don’t the successful ones share the fearlessness and dedication that Olympians exhibit? Although a professional cyclist may be different

Dan is serious when he says you’ll spend 80% of your time on entrepreneurship. Any time you consider going into business for yourself, do so because you want to become an entrepreneur, not because you want to do what your business does.

You’ll be disappointed to find that you spend very little time writing code/inventing/baking cakes/etc. Most of your time will be spent finding customers, marketing your product, closing sales, getting paid, paying bills, or managing people to do those things.

clipper's remarks: One, who combines his passion for motivation,, positive thinking, LoA with sports&yoga

Clip Source: www.canada.com

Wilson has a strong faith in the motivational seminars of the "human potential" movement, which argues that people can unblock their extraordinary potential by avoiding negative thoughts and making daily affirmations about taking responsibility for their own success. Wilson's not just a sports-gear guy who's sold a gazillion form-fitting garments to women doing the Downward Dog and to a far greater number of women (poseurs, some might carp) who want to look like they do the Downward Dog.

Wilson sees himself as a Great Motivator who can help people achieve fitness, inner peace and personal "greatness." (Think motivational speaker Tony Robbins leading endorphin-buzzed triathletes on the deck of Kitsilano Pool in a round of yoga sun salutations.)

clipper's remarks: How to start a real internet business.

If you are willing to work for your freedom and you are passionate about something...anything...you can run your own business from home.

The C

Time for the Big Picture

If you are like me, you have searched the internet for ways of making money online. It makes so much sense to work from home and drop the Just Over Broke (J.O.B.).

There is no shortage of websites promising to make you a fortune in the time it takes to make a cup of tea.

Site Build It (SBI) is completely different. Here is the core business model:

SBI focuses pretty much all of your attention on building CONTENT. That means useful information for the traffic that will come if you follow the methods you will be shown as part of SBI.

You do not start by trying to take money. You start by giving value. Hmm...novel idea...

Check out Twitter

The true meaning of Twitter

What exactly is Twitter? And what does its exploding popularity say about the state of the tech industry? Inside the hottest Web startup since ... gosh, February at least.

Twitter, in case you're over 25 and don't live in a trendy coastal metropolis, is a "micro-blogging" site. It's a free service that lets you send the briefest of messages to everyone in your network. It marries the mass appeal of blogging with the rat-a-tat-tat of text messaging.

Dorsey created Twitter in 2006 as a project within a now-defunct podcasting company called Odeo, which was run by entrepreneur Evan Williams (who had sold a previous startup, Blogger, to Google (GOOG, Fortune 500) in 2003).

Birds twitter. Their tweets may be meaningless to you, but they presumably mean something to other birds. And therein lies the latest flight of fancy dreamt up by ambitious entrepreneurs hoping to strike it rich.

Facebook and YouTube have yet to gush profits - a fact that is the talk of Silicon Valley. Yet here I am again, in July 2008, listening to yet another boyish entrepreneur discuss a quirky, compelling - and nearly revenue-less - startup. I ask Dorsey, a 31-year-old NYU dropout whose slender build and mop of hair evoke the pre-psychedelic Beatles, when Twitter will start making money, known around these parts as "monetization."

clipper's remarks: Looks as if Ms. Fiorina knows a lot of women the rest of us don't.

Clip Source: www.google.com

So here are the facts about women entrepreneurs (all taken from my book Illusions of Entrepreneurship):
• Men are twice as likely as women to be involved in starting a new business at any point in time.
• In 2004, women made up 51 percent of the U.S. population and almost half (47 percent) of the non-military workforce, yet they composed only 27 percent of business owners.
• Women-owned businesses make up 25 percent of non-farm businesses in the United States.
• In 2003, only 34.2 percent of self-employed people in the United States were female.
• In 2004, 7.1 percent of women in the U.S. labor force were self-employed, as compared to 12.4 percent of men in the labor force.

What startups can learn from Haruki Murakami

Clip Source: www.readwriteweb.com

The elements of his work and life story are inspirational and (here's where ReadWriteWeb comes in) particularly applicable when you're running a startup. Therefore in this post, we take a look at what modern technology startups can learn from this Japanese literary master.

Find Your Passion and Commit to it

Whether you're a blogger or software engineer, you've experienced the same feeling: a blog post that has to be written; a piece of code that needs to exist. These moments of clarity are precious and we should follow them whenever possible.

Stick With What You Know

It is better to start a company around the topic you're an expert in or know a lot about. This will give you an edge and ensure you're not wasting your time.

Start Even and Finish First

startups are more like marathons, so pace yourself.

Never Settle and Always Seek Creativity

the artist needs to reinvent himself, so also do startups.

Create a Business Plan Answering 4 Questions

There are a lot of would be entrepreneurs out there with a great idea, but are afflicted with Business Plan Paralysis. Instead of shipping product, they're "working" on their plan, doing more "research", or "thinking about it".

I think the current literature on entrepreneurship overcomplicates things. Read the guides at Entrepreneur.com or bplans.com, and you run into 50 page documents with charts, spreadsheets, and financial projections accounting for every dime. And if these sources are to be believed, your business plan must also have serious sounding sections like Executive Summary, Competitive Analysis, and Financial Projections.

No wonder would be entrepreneurs stall at this step.

The good news is that you don't need that kind of plan right now.

Right now, all you need is an internal working plan to get you going. And to get that working plan, all you need to do is answer these four simple questions.

MOJAVE, Calif., July 28 -- British entrepreneur and adventurer Richard Branson on Monday took the wraps off an aircraft that, for $200,000 a seat, may someday take tourists who can afford it on the first leg of regular, albeit very brief, commercial flights into space.

The dual-fuselage, all-composite plane expands and refines the smaller version that famed aircraft designer Burt Rutan twice used four years ago to begin the journey of a piloted capsule to sub-orbital altitude, winning the X-Prize competition aimed at encouraging private spaceflight.

WMI recently joined forces with Carbon Copy Pro Review to create a business model to eliminate the home based entrepreneur from the role of 'salesman'. Most (if not all) home based entrepreneurs dread the sales process. After looking at the above 'history list', we can see why. Carbon Copy Pro offers a 'brand' and a system that will have professional marketing people take care of the sales process for the home based entrepreneur. This is priceless as the people making these contacts are Six Figure Plus Earning Businesspeople.
