  • Across the Desk - Networking, Growing and Pitching It All Together
    Sometimes networking is freaking hard. If you're an introvert (or just having a bad damn day), it doesn't matter how much your business needs it, you just don't want to. It's time for some personal growth. It's time to develop tips and tricks that turn opportunities you might not have thought of in to networking that could work for you. Today on Ballsy, we cover evaluating value of networking, where you should take some risks with developing your pitch and how building your tribe can be painless :)

  • Across the Desk: Prove or Demonstrate Mindset
    When you first start anything, you can be caught in the "prove it" mindset. It has a slight whiff of desperation and earnestness that is common to all people starting something new. Let's face it, if you're cocky right off the bat, people will pummel you at some point.
    But when the shift comes, and it will, from proving to demonstrating, there's no feeling like it in the world.

  • Across the Desk - Pain is Knowledge
    I don't have cable anymore. This is not a groundbreaking thing for most folks. For me, I've become dependent on Netflix and discovered Jerry Seinfeld again. Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee is my addiction. And the wise words from this long standing comedian? Pain is knowledge rushing in to fill a gap. Blew my mind. Listen up and find out how you can live with less pain :)

  • Across the Desk: Basackwardness. It's a thing.
    I loved what I wrote but did not love what I said. SO! This is new track. Why? 'Cuz it's my damn podcast and I can.
    I'm not a huge fan of "it" words. Start using things like empowerment and be your why and I start heading for the door. That's not to say there isn't value in any of those things. I just have to get over the nausea first.
    That's a bit of what todays' Entrepreneurial Entrails is about. Getting over your crap. The things that get in your way. The things that hold your business back. Me? It's because I have some inherent need to make everything harder for myself so it feels like it has value. Comes too easy? Psh. Worthless.
    Stay tuned. Some shit's about to go sideways.

  • Across the Desk with Makin the Bacon's Karen Swyszcz
    I'm joined today by the hysterical and madly skilled Karen Swyszcz from Makin' the Bacon. What do we chat about?
    Well, many things including why vowels are missing from her name, how she got started in the blogosphere and some crazy myths that businesses use to not blog. One of our shared passions is teaching businesses that there are better and easier ways to communicate for your business. And communicate you must. If you believe that building a website and occasionally putting up a blog post are enough to have you fending off the business offers, well, you're wrong. Very wrong.
    Join us for a fun filled, informative and snort inducing chat about the why's and wherefore's of makin' the bacon!
