87 Secrets to Outrageous Business Success

By Anthony Hilb

In his book, “87 Secrets to Outrageous Business Success: How to Reach Your Goals and Have Fun Doing it,” Bob Bly shares incredible advice on how to build and maintain a successful business. He has a great attitude, but he still points out that difficulties arise in life, which is something many business authors avoid.

Bob keeps his sense of humor and gives examples of small problems he has been upset about such as a flat tire, a computer and backup drive of his that were completely erased, and a refrigerator ice cube dispenser that suddenly stopped working. He admits these small problems can be painful, but he acknowledges these problems are silly to get too upset about stating: “Any day you wake up in good health with a roof over your head and food to eat is a good day.”

87 Secrets goes on to clearly outline actions which you can take to bring your business to the next level. I highly recommend this book and the other 80+ books he has published. Do yourself a favor and visit his website at Bly.com. You’ll be glad you did.

Get Set Tech With Micro Business

By Arjun P.

In today’s world technology has only enhanced the businesses of both major and minor corporations all over the globe. Thanks to information technology the world has become a global market for micro businesses to find their footing without having to fear about the loss of investment. Technological advancement has given these businesses easy access by the general mass with the development of phone applications. Smart-phones are enabled with the necessary software application which allows micro businesses to communicate and correspond with the buyer directly. Social networking sites have become a utility tool for not only promoting business but also an excellent way to review and get access to commodities.

Like every drop of water contributes to the formation of an ocean, in the same way micro businesses are contributing to the growth of the global economy. With a few hundred and more upcoming and future micro enterprises being set up by the hour, there are more than a million people working towards a better economic development globally. With the increase and rapid growth in information technology there is a direct exponential growth in micro businesses.

Technology has become the backbone of micro businesses and is integral to the success of the global economic system, hence giving micro businesses the right leverage to ensure independence and self-sufficiency. With search stations flooding the world wide net, micro businesses can now launch and make them available to every nook and cranny of every country throughout. Websites, advertisements in web-pages, blogging, are just a few ways technology has aided micro businesses in making themselves accessible to people around the world.

Improvise!

By Anthony Hilb

Improvise!You gotta be flexible. Sometimes you MUST improvise. I’m improvising this entire blog post; I have no idea what I’ll say next at this moment, and I haven’t decided how I’ll end it. I’m only giving myself 10 minutes to finish this post. But so what! The importance of improvisation can’t be overlooked, and this is giving me a bit of practice.

Sometimes incredible opportunities unexpectedly present themselves to us. Often times these moments are when we’ll have to improvise. In conversations sometimes we just gotta improvise and go with it.

Not everything can be planned, and we have a restricted amount of time to work during the day. However, so much can be planned. To eliminate too much improvisation during your work week, set your priorities. Be ruthless about setting your priorities. This will help you predetermine what actions you will take in many circumstances.

When an amazing opportunity comes your way, you’ll be able to make an educated decision about your course of action. You might need to drop a current project or client in order to pursue a much better project/client. But you will still need to improvise and learn as you go no matter what you decide. There’s no doubt about that. Planning your every move won’t always work.

My 10 minutes is up. I hope you enjoyed my improvised rant. Get out there and take action! Set your priorities and improvise when you’re stuck!

We don’t listen to Mötley Crüe too much, but that’s not the point! Musicians are creative, and creativity invents new paths. When you’re looking for inspiration for your business or personal life, listen to music that inspires you and pumps you up! That music may even be relaxing music. Whatever it is, be sure to listen to it at some point during the day. Unless you hate all music, this habit will help your business, microbusiness, and personal life!

My First in Person Book Sale!

'Big Al Carpenter'

‘Big Al Carpenter’

By Anthony Hilb

My first in person book sale was one-of-a-kind. It was the first warm, beautiful day in Bloomington, Indiana. Me, My wife Nichole, and my friend Jay sat outside doing our best to sell my new book, Make Money with a Microbusiness.  People were interested, but nobody picked up a copy for the first two hours. Then we met a really great guy named Al. He has been supporting Indiana University football for 60 years. Read more about him here.

Naturally, he’s a supportive guy. He’s known as ‘Big Al Carpenter’ here in Bloomington, Indiana. Big Al was on staff for the Indiana University football team for 10 years when Lee Corso was the head coach. He also shared some helpful life and business advice with us. I’m so happy I was able to meet Big Al, and I’m so thankful he picked up a copy of Make Money with a Microbusiness!
