I hear it so often... "I would love to start a business but I have no idea what I could start." The drive to be an entrepreneur is there, but we just need to kickstart some ideas. Join me on this episode when I really do a brain dump of different business ideas. Everything from an online shop to a full brick and mortar store (and everything in between). Grab a paper and pen and do some braininstorming with me.

Let's try to find your sweet spot in this entrepreneur vision.

As a business coach, I am always encouraging people to start their own business. Being an entrepreneur can be very rewarding. However, I have found more and more that I am stopping people-- or at least telling them to go back to the drawing board. There are things that every potential entrepreneur needs to think about BEFORE they decide to jump in. I want people to be responsible when they decide to make this move.

Listen as I discuss the things you should think about before you begin that business.

None of us what to think about our own obituary, but you know what... we are living it right now. Our obituary is the ultimate highlight reel. Listen as I discuss what this might look like, and how we are working to live a meaningful life....both in our business and personal lives.

Let's live each day knowing these moments make up the sum of our lives.

We hear it all of the time-- there are all of these "keys" to success. If we follow them, all things will be wonderful. Join Dr. Cindy Briggs as she discussses this concept and explains your true key to success.... and you might be surprised.

Did you know that more than 65% of new businesses fail in the first 10 years? That point can be sobering, but doesn't stop entrepreneurs. We are those people with wild dreams, and visions of what can be. There are times when the failure is yours... and it starts to define you. Join Dr. Cindy Briggs as she discusses a very personal business failure... and what you can do if it happens to you.

You have the dream, the idea, and the passion... what you don't have is the funding to start your venture. Cindy is going to walk you through differnt funding options and where to begin. This episode will discuss the initial information you need to move forward. Go to www.cindybriggsphd.com for more information and helpful forms you can use.

Today's episode is going to cover something we can embrace whether at work or home. We have to decide if we are going to ultimately be working in a proactive mode, or a reactive mode, and how each can be beneficial at times.

Dr. Cindy Briggs will give examples from her own business and home life to help you put this topic into action.

In business, we often talk about our vision statment and our mission statement. Should we also be discusing our core values? In this episide, we are going to discuss what it means to choose your core values, and how these can impact your business life too. 

Join Dr. Cindy Briggs as she walks you through an exercise to determine your core values. She will also explain the best way to implement these (if you aren't already.)

If you are an entrepreneur, you may see your children become budding entrepreneurs. That is what has happened at our house. Our children have found a place to explore their dreams, and even launch them. It gives them not only some spending money, but also gets them to understand the entire business process. This episode we will talk about how to do this with my guest, Jackson Briggs (my son), who has just celebrated his first year in business.... and he is nine.

As we have discussed networking, one area I mentioned is serving on a nonprofit board of directors. This might sound overwhelming, but it is easier that you think. In this episode I discuss what it means to serve on a board, and how to get started. I also provide other resources to get you ready to serve.

This is a chance to make a difference with a cause you believe in.
