Ready to Start Your Small Business?

Published on

You Have Vision…

Start Your Small Business: I am surrounded by other entrepreneurs or people who are on their way to being entrepreneurs. We attract each other and most of my closest friends are entrepreneurs. I had a friend who loved to experiment with cheesecakes. He worked for the gas company for his full time gig but he would do things like make Peach Cobbler Cheesecake, German Chocolate Cheesecake, Cheesecake Pound Cake, Oatmeal Raisin Cheesecake and even Sweet Potato Cheesecake. People would go NUTS over those Cheesecakes and he started taking them to work and his coworkers would offer him up to $30.00 to make them ONE of his Cheesecakes. Before he knew it, he had to rent a kitchen and he was making at least 50 Cheesecakes a weekend as word spread. He LOVED doing it and he became a different person while he was doing it. He wasn##Q##t bound by the work grind and the stress he had to often face working with broken gas lines in the field. Who could be passionate about that? To make a long story short, he was not comfortable with the lack of security he felt he would have without a full time job. I along with several other entrepreneur friends tried to convince him that he could triple and even quadruple his current income and have continued growth over the next 5 years that would make him incredibly successful but he did not have VISION. He is letting the opportunity pass him by.

Entrepreneurs Start Black-Owned Streaming Network “Xperienc on Demand”

The only Black-owned streamer in the country – Xperienc On Demand. Earlier this summer, new ground was broken in Memphis when boxing champ Floyd Mayweather put his boxers up against those of Lank the King in what was called the Bi-Centennial Beat Down. That wasn’t what was groundbreaking though – it was the fact that for the first time ever, the fights were streamed worldwide by what’s probably the first and only Black-owned streamer in the country – Xperienc On Demand. For way less than people were paying in the past to see the fights on Showtime, etc., hundreds [...]

Small business tips: Carlton Brown, Occasional Occasions by Carlton

Carlton Brown, Occasional Occasions by Carlton Caterer/Chef/Owner -  Atlanta, GA Blogwallet: What is the greatest lesson you learned as an black entrepreneur? Carlton: I would say that a lot of black entrepreneurs do realize that they have to market their business, but what most don't seem to get is that imply passing out business cards is NOT marketing. It is important to find your referral partners and potential clients, but it is more important to nurture those relationships. Many go to networking events and pass out cards and sit back and wait for the phone to ring. [...]

Lack Motivation While Working From Home? Might Be Caused By This…

I'm at the tail end of the baby-boomer generation and I'm an black entrepreneur.  I've been in business for a quarter of a century but I have never done well working from home. I have often found that after breakfast, no matter what I eat, even decaf coffee, I get lethargic. I looked online for quite some time find articles on the subject of getting tired when working from home to no avail.  Was it the glare from my computer was I missing some kind of vitamins? Then I did a test. [...]
