You bring up so many good points here, Tom, and I applaud your creation of the new network. An experienced, highly educated laid-off worker does not necessarily have the appetite for risk-taking nor the spirit necessary to 'become' an entrepreneu...

A good reminder, Jesse. I always find the theory interesting - a powerful concept.

Great post. I have a client who owns five nurseries and they're always telling me stories of how they started and grew and I love to hear them all.

Narrations, commercials, phone systems, web-based training programs, corporate communications, audiobooks, podcasts, imaging, phone systems, interviews...whatever you listen to. I'll be posting my demos as soon as I figure out how to do that!
2.) AMERICA AT WORK is giving a VOICE to Small Business! A@W is a collection of audio features that highlight Small Business Owners, Entrepreneurs and Professionals. Through expert interviews and some production work, I create fun, fast paced, informative, inspiring features that introduce listeners to real folks doing what they love, making America work! You'll hear their voices share their very real experiences and be amazed over and over again at the talent, ideas, and passion out there! www.AmericaAtWorkStories.com

Poinsettias and A Whole Lot More

We were filled with visions of poinsettias having strolled among over 30,000 of them at Homewood Nursery in North Raleigh. On our way out, we walked past a man sitting on a garden bench talking with a young boy. The gentleman appeared comfortable and relaxed and for whatever reason, that led me to think he worked there, so I stopped to ask a quick question. I just had to know if they could possibly sell ALL of these poinsettias within the next month!? Not only did he assure us they would… Continue

Don't Start A Business

If...

If you want to work 9-5

If you don’t dream

If you know it all

If you won’t ask for help

If you like things easy

If it’s hard to bounce back

If you think customers just buy stuff

If you don’t like to read

If you don’t like to write

If you don’t like to network

If you’d rather watch TV

If it has to be your way

If you need a sure bet

Don’t start a business.

A Conversation with Chuck Hester - LinkedIn Guru!

The upcoming Final Friday Forum event features Chuck Hester, a big proponent of LinkedIn and all things 'social media.' I thought it timely to share the transcript of my 'sculpted feature' on Chuck. Since the original interview he has grown his network to over 10,000 and LinkedIn Live here in Raleigh boasts attendance over 300!
But the heart of the matter hasn't changed.

DEBRA This is America At Work. I’m Debra Stamp.

The Touch, Taste, Smell and Feel of Business

When you’re a small business owner, you learn by doing.
It’s a combination of personal vision, drive and an accumulation of actual experiences.
The stuff of real life, as opposed to “Gee, wouldn’t this be neat” or “Try this.”

There isn’t an expert, self-help, business book out there that can come close to preparing you for the way you’ll feel when that opening day you’ve planned months for, comes and goes with barely a new customer. Or you spot a rip-off of your product design in a shop a town… Continue

Hi Debra, I do remember (and appreciate) your attending the opening of the florist at the end of 07. I enjoyed talking with you. Yes, the mountain place is on Beech and boy am I missing that this week with the heat here in Raleigh:) Stop by the shop if you're in the area.

Hi Debra, nice to meet another member of our community. Occasionally I have a need for some voice work. I will check out your tapes and keep you in mind for any future projects. Be well. Hope to see you at one of the networking events.
