Building your Business Reputation

January 6, 2018 by Daniel

It helps to attract funding, build a client base, and also get you the best talent when you’re hiring. When you’re generating some buzz and excitement about your product and your working practices, talented people beat a bath to your door, so you can pick from the best rather commit to an exhausting search.

It’s difficult to bottle lightning: sometimes a reputation accumulates around you because you were in the right place, at the right time, with the right idea, and if you’re not trying to force things can damage your reputation rather than improve it.… Read the rest

Finding an Executive Search Firm

December 21, 2017 by Daniel

The true cost of a bad hire is surprising. The US Department of Labour estimates that hiring the wrong person costs your company upwards of 30% of their first year’s salary. It also shakes the confidence of other employees in the robustness of your hiring process and the decision-making of the company in general. A really bad hire can cost you good employees, as they burn out trying to compensate for the new starter’s errors.

Creating a Lifestyle Business

November 1, 2010 by Daniel

Did you know it doesn’t take a million bucks to live like you have a million bucks? That’s what Sean Ogle writes over at GetRichSlowly. So why don’t more people live like millionaires?

It isn’t the money, the job, or one’s personal situation that keeps people from living a more exciting life. It’s the fear of making a change.

Ah,yes, the “C” word. More like the battle of the “C” words—we’re too comfortable to make change. To his credit, he’s not talking about living beyond your means or racking up a mass of debt. He’s referring to the one thing people who have more money typically have…time.… Read the rest

When There’s Movement – Stuff Happens

Goals

I had a whiny, way below my age breakdown yesterday. I’ve been putting in a lot of time with BudgetSnob but I haven’t seen the results I had planned by this point. So, I was a little lot down. I felt like I was staring at the Himalayas standing at the bottom of a dry lake bed in Death Valley. 

Then I read something that profoundly changed my outlook. It was a newspaper article about a little (or maybe not so little) obscure blog called TheAwl. I knew the rest of the article would be good after reading this…
