When your micro-business doesn’t succeed…
I received an email today that may strike home for some of you.
I am just leaving a company I started two years and am going back to working for someone else, finding the opportunities is fairly easy, dealing with the different feelings and emotions is the challenge as well as thinking clearly enough to make a good decision.
When your own business does not do as well as you need it to, it’s not the end of the world and the solution is actually quite simple.
(A) You change what you are doing or
(B) You work for somebody else for a while.
I have dealt with many variations of (A) already, so let me address the ramifications of (B) in this post. The writer of the email has already spotted the biggest problem with (B), the feelings and emotions associated with abandoning a dream.
There is no shame in working for someone who is succeeding and wants your help. Great companies are built by tight little conspiracies of dedicated people who aid each other in achieving a common goal.
The major insanity that prevents this is the all too common propensity of subordinate players trying to take the lead by undermining the efforts of the lead player. Let me give you this uncommon advice. Read it until it is seared, seared in your memory.
It doesn’t matter if you are smarter, saner, and more experienced than your new boss. As long as you are working for him, support him and protect his flanks.

The joys of a micro-business
It’s time to give Rathergate a rest, and get back to business as usual…
Lloyd Lemons has captured in a few words what I have been trying to say for months.
He is still developing the idea, but his September 16th post offers a tantalizing glimpse of the rewards that comes from creating your own micro-business.
Because it is so short, I am taking the liberty of reproducing it in its entirety.
What a micro-business should be about…
1. It should be about bending the world a little, to fit your purpose, by doing something you truly enjoy doing.
2. It’s about being a catalyst for your own ideas, and not a facilitator for someone else’s.
3. It’s about personal freedom, largely brought about the integration of working and living.
more to come…

How do I make a living from my blog?
I received an email today which captures the feelings of many enthusiastic new bloggers.
I move from super-evangelical about the various benefits/values of blog to almost semi-depression that will never be able to make a living with the stuff.
I was moved to offer the following encouragement:
I would not be too hasty about never making a living with your blog. As a citizen publisher, you are building a following and generating a buzz about your talent, your personality, and your abilities that you choose to showcase.
I think the publishing model of yore is slowly crumbling. What comes next is not too clear, but it takes lots of promotion to sell a book, or a product or a service. In the past, you would have had to hire a flack or hope that your publisher would place ads for you. Now you can talk about your creation until you are tired of it or until you drive away your visitors. Hopefully, you will be creative enough that you will be able to reach out and generate interest in what you do.
Nothing happens overnight. There is no magic about communicating to potential customers. You do it well and give them something that interests them and promise more to come.
Try it and keep at it until you see results. If the results aren’t what you want, make the necessary changes and continue.
I am sure that most of my visitors have thought about making money through or from their blog. I think that it is doable, but it is a matter of focusing on objectives and working towards achieving them, which can take some time. The only magic involved is finding a business proposition that works for you.

Telecommuters – instant expansion for a micro-business
A micro-business, by its very nature, is a demonstration of thinking outside the box.
What happens when a micro-business becomes so successful that it has to add management-level staff in order to handle tasks that were once handled successfully by the owner of the business?
Using conventional thinking, the growing company would have to add office space, extra phone lines, computers, and all of the other expenses that are required to support additional staff. This really blows the idea of an incremental increase in expenses right out of the water.
As a result, many micro-business owners delay adding critically needed staff until they are so overworked that their families are worried about their health and sanity.
