Build your you hub

Today’s happening small business entrepreneur has several businesses, maintains multiple web sites, blogs at a couple places, has written a book, and has profiles on half a dozen social network sites. I havn’t even mentioned that they have also thrown themselves into a couple cool new beta start-ups, projects and fun not-for-profit adventures.

Keeping up with what you are up to can be a bit of a task and letting people know about all it can be even harder. I get emails from some of these folks and the signature block with all the links in the email is ten times the size of the actual email.

Here’s a solution I would recommend. If you have not already done so go out and reserve your personal name as a domain (you should do this no matter what and grab the names of your spouse and kids while you are at it.) Use this domain to build a personal hub of all the stuff you are into. Outline your projects, display RSS feeds from all your blogs and host links to all your social network or any other kind of network profiles.

This way you can lead people to sort of a portal of what you are up to with one simple link. I’ve have an example at JohnJantsch.com. This is a WordPress blog using a website template.

Re: Great start, but no finish - My advise is FOCUS on your business. Focusing is the main factor to succeed on business. If you have a great idea, then follow it only, don't look anywhere else. It is especially essential in an online business. Because there are a lot of mind blowing sales letters promising millions dolllars or overnight success, people find it difficult to concentrate on one business and they lose their energy. Concept is simple. 1- Have a good idea; 2- Build your business on it; 3- Monetize your business; 4- Promote it; 5- Build list of responsive customers; 6- Maintain You Business. Focusing and not fearing from competition (instead you can learn from competitiors) are main tips of billionaires ,BTW. Orxan

But how do you know if you truly have a good idea or not? If we ask ourselves, we may be suffering from tunnel vision. On the other hand, friends/family may try to discourage us from pursuing a small business because of their own fears, while others will simply give us an empty "you can do it!" line.
Starting A Business - go get a customer! you can have a great idea but if you don't have a customer you'll never be successful. Build a product / service around someone who will pay you for what you can offer! It's the best way to build a business.
Re: What exactly do you need to start a business - Momentum, that is what you need the most. Momentum moves you forward, regardless of what gets thrown at you. Build Momentum and things will start to happen.
