Philosophy & Thinking of a Modern Entrepreneur

Joint Ventures, just like anything else worth performing will take some time to master.

Your first JV may not be a tremendous success; in fact, it could go a little flat, because you may not posses the skills in the beginning.

But the more you attempt, you can’t help but get better and better by learning what to do and what not to do next time.

It is very; very important to keep in mind that all it takes is ONE successful JV to take your business to heights you only dreamed of. Knowing this will help to keep you committed to the process.

Your platform does not have to be the size of Disney and you don’t have to be a famous personality with a million followers on twitter.

But you want to have a platform that will allow you to reach your customers as well as new potential customers, when you roll out a new promotion, product, or service.

You want to be your own conglomerate.

When we start a business based upon our interest we are literally forcing ourselves to struggle and become frustrated….WHY?

Because we have to learn what we need to know and we have to provide excellent product or service to earn a profit at the same time…Impossible!

While you’re investigating and feeling your way around trying to learn about what interest you, your competition (who’s playing to their strength) is dominating you, leaving you frustrated, tired, and possibly broke.

People are just jumping into any type of business because they like a particular product or service or maybe they are hyped up over the compensation plan.

They never give a second thought as to the impact this business decision will have on their future and the future of their families.

So the business is started and already doomed for failure

A little over 5 years ago when I made that declaration that I would be A leading Authority on black entrepreneurship, I received my fair share of laughter.
The roadblocks went up almost immediately from “friends” and family once I got started online doing it and stating that “my mission was to help black people discover [...]

The most important aspect of a woman going into
business I think is really identifying and forming a support group.

So often people who love us feel a need to protect us and they sometimes over protect us and make us squeamish and afraid to be adventurous.

You have to be BOLD and ADVENTUROUS if you are a woman going
into business. Even though more and more women are going into
business, it is still a male dominated game.

In my case it was my mother, I can’t tell you…my mother would
cry, she would beg me,

“Please get a government job, you’re in Washington D.C. You’re smart and people like you, Give Up!

your success online will be determined by the body of work you put together. And that may include multiple ebooks and other types of digital products.

And there is a learning curve that has to take place before you feel comfortable with putting out you own ‘Cash-Producing’ ebooks.

I have mentioned that affiliate marketing is the fastest and easiest way to make money online and most people who consider trying to make money on the Internet end up gravitating toward affiliate marketing.

Affiliate Marketing is a great way to generate income online, but if you want a long term business you’ll need your own products that you control and sell.

The average person that comes in contact with the opportunity to make money online is really only looking to make an extra $5,000 or $10,000 for the year.

And the right online business can do that for them.

But they are blindsided by quick talkers trying to get them to sign up for the next hot fad or trend that promises instant riches.

Very popular and high traffic blogs can charge anywhere from $250 to $1,000 per month for a sponsorship ad. If the ads on my blog were being sponsored by other businesses you could easily see how just the right column could produce between $1,250 to $6,000 a month.

We’ve already discussed how Blogs are a great way to cash in on your passion. The types of blogs you can build are limited only by your imagination and by your willingness to conduct research.
For example, some bloggers focus on general topics, such as cars, while others narrow the scope of their blogs even further [...]
