  • In the spirit of Collaboration

    From listening to people like John Assaraf, James Arthur Ray and Jack Canfield speak, a common thread winds through their teachings: As entreprenuers our time is money. Are we spending our time/money wisely? Here is an example:

    If your time is worth $100/hr. and it takes you 3 hours to mow your entire yard then it costs you $300 of your time to do that job. You could pay a teen to mow your yard for $10/hr. saving yourself $270 in time you could put towards growing your business, so why aren't you? Can you really afford not to spend the $30 so that you have time to promote your business that will pay you the $100/hr?

    So here is my discussion question: "Where can you collaborate with others to free up your time and skills to focus on growing your business?" This question takes a bit of thought but please post your answers. You just might find that some of these great Biznik connections are the answer you are looking for.

    • Something else I discovered - collaboration doesn't have to cost you money. If you need my services and I need your services a unilateral exchange can make us both happy and more productive.

  • Newly learning about biznik

    We are a small business that does big business in the greater Seattle market. I'm looking forward to learning more about biznik and going to an upcoming two day seminar. If anyone is going - I'd love to know who to look for.
