1. Basecamphq – this is a site that me and my virtual workers use constantly to manage projects, keep notes, count time spent on each client, etc. For a low monthly cost Basecamp can help you make more money, get really organized and fertilize a truly mobile business model where you never have to meet any employees face to face, but still get a heck of a lot done.
2. Teqpad.com - this site offers a lot of free metrics on your website or blog, I am not sure if it is as accurate as other paid platforms but it gives you at least a good idea of what is going on behind the scenes. It also offers helpful hints and shows the amount of backlinks you are getting from all the major search engines. Read more…

I am reading through Start with Why by Simon Sinek, it is truly an eye opening read. But instead of just putting it on my reading list and hoping some of you will pick it up I am going to sum up some of the best parts and explain why WHY is the single best question that will lead to massive success.

In Sinek’s book he explains his concept of ‘The Golden Circle’ which is key to understanding the importance of presenting your businesses WHY even before it’s WHAT or HOW. Look closely at the below and take in this entrepreneurial advice because it may radically change the way you do business and make you vastly more successful and happy then you are now.

If you want to truly live an extraordinary life, fueled by income streams you create, it’s imperative to have nothing to lose. I know that may sound unreasonable, irresponsible and like a misguided way to escape the 9 to 5 but in my entrepreneurial journey I’ve noticed it is the only way to go. So shake off your defensive about why you ‘can’t’ afford to jump head first into becoming an extraordinary entrepreneur and instead see why you can’t afford not to.

How to jumpstart your entrepreneur’s adventures

First thing you have to do is realize that extraordinary entrepreneurs live outside of societal norms 9 times out of 10. So don’t go chasing the dream of escaping the 9 to 5 and living the four hour work week then be surprised when you have to step way outside of your comfort zone to do it. People often say “But I have kids, a marriage, a job, a house, X, Y or Z how can I escape and live life on my own terms?”. Well I’ll tell you one thing, the path ISN’T the one you are currently on. But in reality you still are the only one that can decide which path will lead you to escape the rat race permanently… there is no quick fix, no magic bullet and no success pill.

I think the single biggest reasons for most of my break throughs as an entrepreneur has been from biting off more than I could chew. Every time I take on a new client, start a new job or begin a new project I go a little bit above what I think I can produce… then if they accept I am forced to make good. That is how you grow. Biting off more than you can chew is critical to becoming a successful entrepreneur and truly escaping the 9 to 5 for a better life that you live based around your choices.

Always say yes, until you want to say no.

Crock of what… I’ll leave it to your imagination doll.

So… have you ever had a client or potential buyer say ” I can’t afford your (services/ebook/product)”

Of course you have, everyone has if you are in business. Even better is the classic trying-to-negotiate you down, like “well why not do it for half off” or “how about I pay you X now and X later”. Take it from me start ups and new entrepreneurs DON’T DO IT. If you start allowing people to bump down the price of what you are offering you’ll enter a losing game, the only people that excel at ‘price cutting’ and still make a profit are giants like Walmart.

(that little gem is brought to you by peopleofwalmart.com one of my favs

So what is the average entrepreneur to do when their key market starts saying “I can’t afford it”…

either you are being ridiculously pricey (which is rarely the case) or you need to say “see ya later” and find a new (wealthier) market.
