The biggest mistake I’ve made is believing I’m the only one riding the roller coaster of emotions and experiences you encounter as an Entrepreneur. Then you speak to others and read about their experiences and realize you’re not alone at all. In fact you’re surrounded by a huge number of other crazy people who are on the same ride. Tip No 1. Talk to other entrepreneurs regularly I’ve started surrounding myself with the support of entrepreneurs here in Vancouver, both as friends and mentors. They keep me energized and inspired when I’m feeling stressed or overwhelmed. They have the right advice and insight just when you need... [read more] Related posts:

What separates the people who actually get out there and transform their ideas into profitable businesses from those who don’t? The answer is simple: “sloppy success.” Back when I first started my career in Internet marketing, I landed what I can still say was one of my favourite jobs of all time – interviewing Internet entrepreneurs who are making $100k or more online for a high circulation e-newsletter. What made this a truly awesome experience for me was that these entrepreneurs were doing precisely what I dreamed of doing. They were “homepreneurs,” one or two person operations making the equivalent of a full-time... [read more] No related posts. Related posts brought to you by Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.

Can you remember what you dreamed of being as a child? Can you recall all those things you wanted to be and do? Have you become them? Have you accomplished them? I’d be willing to put a $1 million dollar bet on black on a roulette table that 99% of you haven’t. Why not? When did you stop following your dreams, or are you a shining example to us all, like Randy Pausch? Thanks to some amazing young entrepreneurs I met in Costa Rica earlier this year, I finally got around to watching the `must see’ video – Randy Pausch’s Last Lecture: Achieving your childhood dreams. It’s so worth the watch because as Randy says, it’s... [read more] No related posts. Related posts brought to you by Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.

So how did I embark on this journey of co founding not one but two businesses in less than a year? Well I can't claim to be one of those smart young children making money from selling my pet chicken's eggs on the side of a country road that had 1 car drive by per hour at 120km/ph. That was just plain optimistic! But I guess I could convince people to do things if I was truly passionate about it. I felt I was meant to have my... [read more] No related posts.

Today we are proud to launch WomanzWorld.com, an online resource that will provide tools, knowledge and inspiration to help women entrepreneurs launch and grow their own businesses. The motivation behind WomanzWorld came from our own experiences and challenges as women in business. Back in early 2009, we met at a networking event for entrepreneurs in downtown Vancouver, BC. As we looked around the room and watched business cards being busily exchanged over glasses of merlot, we realized how few female entrepreneurs there were in the room. This observation simply illuminated that despite an increasing number of women owning and... [read more] No related posts. Related posts brought to you by Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.
