“Cold calling” If these two words automatically fill your mind with negative thoughts, fear, dread, and loathing, then I want to help you.
Like many people, I used to hate going to networking events.
Do you enjoy spinning tunes, making people happy, and earning a steady stream of supplemental income? Then a mobile DJ business could be the perfect side hustle for you.
Recently, I’ve decided to change careers. I am making the switch from marketing to sales. I made this decision because I want to continue advancing my career while further expanding my business knowledge and skills. Plus, I enjoy learning new things and taking on challenges.

According to the latest SBA stats, over 50% of the working population (120 million people) in the US works in a small business. Why does a small business need social media […]
I have a mission in life. I want to help people live their dream and become successful. That sounds like a stupid mission, right? Maybe. But I still want to try and help people with my knowledge and experience on how to run a successful business.

A year ago I was unhappy with the direction I was taking in my life. I was thinking about switching careers and finally pursuing my passions (writing and cooking). I just didn’t know how to do it.
I had aspirations of becoming an executive chef and owning my own restaurant. To achieve this dream, I needed to first gain knowledge and experience in the restaurant industry.
