The internet is crawling with misleading claims of “overnight success,” which can be incredibly discouraging for those who can’t achieve the same “get-rich-quick” results. The truth is that starting a business takes time and persistence, and most overnight success stories were years in the making. What is the truth behind your journey to success, and how long did it really take for your business to become profitable? Continue reading
With more and more people facing layoffs, salary cutbacks, and belt-tightening across the board in this tough economy, the business start-ups are the wave of the future.
Many are turning to bootstrapping as a way to get going with little (or nearly non-existent) capital, the willingness to work hard, and a dream. We wanted to share some of these inspiring and creative stories with you, so last week we asked:
“Many entrepreneurs start their businesses on a shoestring or non-existent budget, but still manage to successfully start-up. The mindset is not “build a business and then worry about sales,” it’s “make money now to fund the start-up process.” If you are a successful bootstrapper, what is your single best tip for start-ups who are looking for creative ways to generate revenue quickly?” Continue reading
In an effort to always bring you the latest and greatest information, I am happy to launch our Advisory of Women Entrepreneurs Spotlight interview series.
We designed this series to, not only showcase our community of amazing women entrepreneurs, but to also share their best tips, strategies and insights for wanna-be and established women entrepreneurs.

Choosing the path of the entrepreneurship is not for everyone. Many would tell you that it requires a certain “it” factor, an inner drive, a burning desire, and/or a bit of crazy to start a business. So last week we posed a question to the entrepreneurial community and asked –
What was the catalyst in your life that drove you onto the entrepreneurial path, and what keeps you on it?
This was by far the most popular question we’ve asked, with 99 responses, plus my own, rounding to a cool 100. Everyone has a story to tell of what flipped that entrepreneurial switch on inside of him or her, but the stories have similar threads of burning desire, passion, wanting more from life, purpose, freedom, and more. If you are considering the path of entrepreneurship in your life, I hope that the following 100 stories will inspire you to take the leap. Continue reading
