• Are you Prepared for the Unexpected?

    Tags: ,,,,, | Articles

    I’m going to Germany for Christmas!!! Or so I thought, until my car was broken into at a lunch stop on the way to the airport. Grabbing my backpack through the smashed window, the thief made off with my laptop as well as our passports and Lindsey’s green card. Having no passports, we were forced to cancel the trip. After the initial shock, I thought about it and realized, as long as my identity is …

  • and Check it Twice

    Do you have a system in place to check your work before it ends up in the public eye? Too often, I find that as contractors, we get so pressed by our deadlines we do not build in the time for careful review. It is a tough lesson Peter & I keep learning over and over again. Today, Julie and I received some great holiday gifts. We ended up rolling around on the floor laughing …

  • Where’s the Freedom in Freelancing?

    Tags: ,,, | Articles

    Wow. I’m hosed! I spent the last 6 days phonecall-coding-QAing-designing-fatigueing. I probably gained a few pounds. Think i may have lost some eye sight. Definitely got some gray hairs. After a week like that, I’m sitting here trying to remember why I wanted to work independently in the first place.

  • Setting the Stage for Success

    I’m going to get a bit naked here. Maybe I’ve been reading Naomi’s blog too much (don’t worry, my mom washed my mouth out with soap as a kid, so I’ll never talk like her). A few days ago Julie and I took a series of walks, whose dialog revolved around perception, motivation and sex. I asked Naomi for advice because I wanted a woman’s view and found out that she and her lad had …

  • Do you own a business or a job?

    Tags: ,,,, | Articles

    This is a guest post from our friend, James. His blog was just awarded #4 in the 2007 top ten blog for writers contest. He and his business partner Harry run a company of more than 30 writers pumping out PLR articles. “I quit.” I pronounced the statement firmly (or as firmly as one can get over IM). It was my company, after all. I could certainly do whatever I felt like. “You can’t quit.” …

  • Interviewing You: the Entrepreneur

    Tags: , | Articles

    I have been preparing questions for a series of upcoming interviews with a few budding and successful entrepreneurs. As I was chatting with Jarkko on IM, he asked: “Are you sending the questions out to entrepreneurs or posting them on your blog for visitors to answer?” I suddenly realized, we have almost 500 subscribers and many of you are indy or run companies and blog as well. If you ask me, your answers are definitely …
