Every day you make decisions that directly affect your business. All of these small choices add up to shape the style and character of your project. Your success as an entrepreneur is not just tied to the day-to-day operations of your company though. It’s connected to something much larger actually. The way you carry yourself, the people you connect with, and the way you spend your non-working hours all affect your business as much as anything else. This week’s Gig Economy is all about taking a step back to see the big picture of what can influence your success.
Seek Guidance in the Right Places
We all know that sometimes you need assistance and advice from someone who has been there and done that. That’s why we often recommend to entrepreneurs that they find a mentor who they connect with and who can offer priceless insights into entrepreneurship. What isn’t always so clear though is exactly how to find that mentor! Check out our recent blog post about where and how to find your mentor.
Body Language Speaks
Did you ever notice that some of the most successful businesspeople in the world have some kind of signature way of moving or presenting themselves? Your body language can speak volumes about where you come from as well as where you’re going. Check out this piece from Inc about some signature body language moves of successful entrepreneurs and take a moment to evaluate your own body language.
How Down Time Can Kill Productivity
We’ve got a lot of articles and advice about how to stay productive and work effectively, but what about how to maintain your momentum even in your downtime? While it’s essential to take a break sometimes, it’s also important not to let your breaks become bastions of bad habits. Check out this post about how to avoid time wasters at all times.
Lessons From the Restaurant
Life is a journey, and every step along the way is an opportunity to learn something that could be useful in the future. There’s no such thing as wasted time if you take something with you from every experience. Luckily, we can also learn from other peoples’ unique experiences. One successful entrepreneur shares some valuable lessons he learned while working as a waiter with The Next Web.
