Are you an Entrepreneur or do you own a Job?
Last Updated on Wednesday, 11 August 2010 12:19 Written by mcorbett Wednesday, 11 August 2010 01:00
The question that every entrepreneur should ask themselves is: Do I own a company…or a job? This is a question you should ask, especially in the beginning of building your business. Many people mistake incorporating a job for building a business, and there is a fundamental difference between the two. What I mean is that just because you filed your business entity as a LLC, C Corp or S Corp does not mean that you have started a company.

Last Updated on Thursday, 3 June 2010 11:18 Written by mcorbett Thursday, 3 June 2010 11:30
Proverbs 11:14 (Amplified Bible) Where no wise guidance is, the people fall, but in the multitude of counselors there is safety.
I have written in past editorials about the importance of a team. Now I’d like to talk about the importance of an advisory board to the success of your business.
