Posted by on May 22, 2013 in Authentic Marketing, Entrepreneurship, Internet and SEO |

The top 4 are: Home page – The homepage should be your ‘Hi, Thanks for Visiting!’ page.  Think of it like when someone walks into your store, you greet them (I’m not saying walmart greeters, I’m...

Posted by on Apr 3, 2013 in Entrepreneurship, Featured, Self-Empowerment and NLP | 0 comments

The path to balance between creating solid plans and taking consistent and focused actions is a difficult one to manage, especially for new entrepreneurs who are doing so many things at once it can feel overwhelming.
