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.
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 ...
wow! what fabulous illustrations!

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

Follow a small business owner and get a lesson in resiliency;
stretching, bending, withstanding, recovering.
Expectations? Growing
Best laid plans? Let’s go with ‘Plan B’
Responsibilities? Which ones… family or work?
Employees? Yes
Problems? Solutions
aka Flexible Income
Markets? Fickle
Competition? Bring it on
Products, services and prices? Responsive
Regulations? Enough already
Rejection? Try again
Bankruptcy? A possibility

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.

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
