Attributes of People Who Start Companies

I’m not posting today’s normal Sunday BossHatch Times to throw in something I have been meaning to post.  I was recently sent a link to a list of 100 attributes of entrepreneurs.  Normally, I would just skim over a list like this, read it, and post a comment.  However, this has 100 attributes… jeeze!  I […]

Oh Crap Situation 6: The Manager

Relatively speaking, business is booming.  Everything is panning out as you have planned.  Your product practically markets itself, and your staff is working like a symphony to get everything in order and ready for shipments - each person building the company off of the other.  Everything is going absolutely perfect… until you get the complaint. […]

Identifying Your Audience - Part 6 - Ages 50+ (last one… finally!)

Just to knock out a few of the generalizations - the older generations prefer the following:

Ease of use
Utility
Nostalgic properties

Cost should be reasonable, but doesn’t have to be dirt cheap (older people have all the money!). I don’t really think this needs much more explaining. Oh - I guess the nostalgic properties could be […]

Identifying Your Audience - Part 5 - Ages 30-49

So I overlapped ages - well, who cares? Sometimes age groups can merge (or at least that’s what they want you to think!). An audience consisting of people from ages 30-49 are wanting to reach out to their inner youth while maintaining a good level of their maturity. What does this mean? […]

The Sunday Young Entrepreneur News

It’s the holidays and the news is slow. This week, I read through one news item titled a business plan that will get you a loan that was really worth my time.

This article covers similar material to what I was writing during part 1 of my business plan series. The idea is to […]

Oh Crap Situation 5

You’ve been working for Fakebiz Inc. for over 4 years and you decide you want to help start a business with a coworker. Starting a business wasn’t even your idea, but there seemed to be a very solid foundation from which you could build a company… so you accepted the offer. Here’s the […]

ICSF Gets $50 Thanks to a Secret Santa

A few weeks ago I made a post for Babylune’s Generous December (here’s the ICSF post I made). The Inner City Scholarship Fund just received $25 from Heidel and Associates, where Dr. Heidel says “As a businessman and psychiatrist I certainly agree that a high-quality, supportive education is a wonderful opportunity for all children,” […]

Office Digression - Dialog 1

Yes, I disrupted my Interpreting Audience series to write a small digression regarding my total distaste of office humor and aesthetic. I use this as my motivation to avoid the office and start a business of my own (where there will be no office… just your computer and maybe a Jittery Joes coffee […]

Identifying Your Audience - Part 4 - Ages 20-35

Fresh out of college, almost out of college, into a job, out of a job, having kids, and maybe still trying to hold on to that youth. This age group (I would like to imagine) embraces reason, price, quality, delivered pizza, and frozen food. If you are releasing brand new computer hardware or […]
