So, You want to be an Entrepreneur - Turning your Idea into a Business - Part 4 Targeting Markets

I hope you enjoyed yesterday's post! Thanks for following along with the "So, you want to be an Entrepreneur" series! Today is Part 4, and in case you missed Part 1 , Part 2 , and Part 3 follow the links! Yesterday we talked about narrowing down your target market, and today we are talking about marketing to the target markets you already know of and/or the target markets you can easily find. Perhaps you are a teacher, and already know a large network of teachers, and provide a product or service that can be useful for teachers. Adjust your pictures and text to target those markets you already have. Think about the similarities that you have with existing friends. Perhaps some of them would generously provide you with feedback on your items to give you new ideas or descriptive words that you can use to promote your product or service.

Time Management - Tips for Women Entrepreneurs - Part 5 Grace and Understanding

This is the last post in the Time Management Series! You can find post 1 here, post 2 here, post 3 here, and post 4 here! Today we will be wrapping up this series talking about grace, understanding, and perfection. Time is a tricky thing ...

Because life, life happens, and we don't always get to choose what things happen, when they happen, and the extent of them. Despite my best intentions, there have been plenty of years that I planted a garden and things didn't get harvested.

So, You want to be an Entrepreneur - Turning your Idea into a Business - Part 1

So, you want to be an entrepreneur. It's intriguing, it's sexy, it's the dream to be the captain of your ship! At least that is what they say ... Now, how to take that little idea and turn it into a viable business. This is part 1 in this series, and please know that these are my ideas, suggestions, but this is the real world, and this is not a guarantee that you will be successful in your entrepreneurial quest. Being an entrepreneur was not my childhood dream, it was not something I even expected to be doing when I was 18, 21, 25 or even 28 when I became self employed. I became an entrepreneur over time, and I didn't even realize that I was carefully planning and laying my foundation for success. If I told you the product lines that I started thinking of initially, versus what my product lines are now, you may be surprised that they are much different. Although one of those products became my focus, not all of them stood the test of time. Be ope...
