I was trying to post monthly and hopefully develop a habit to post weekly but it seem like I failed to do so. This was suppose to be an easy habit to engrain since it take less than 10 minutes to type up a simple update. This whole project is an outlet of information or database that can be easily access so that I will not have to remember everything, yet I still forget to post a weekly note to help me get organized in my thought and update what going on with this site.

Clouded with all the steps and direction that we all put ourselves in, where do we go next? As entrepreneurs, our path isn’t linear. We chose to take a path that other doesn’t want or don’t see.

Although, the next step doesn’t necessary has to be physical. We can step back and reflect on the skills and knowledge to find ways to use them to our advantage. By doing so, we can celebrate the accomplishment and lay out new plans with the new tools we have acquired on the journey.

Ways to go forward:

1. List out what needs to be done. Or. What do you want to get done?
2. Get the new skills required for the next step. Or. Hire the extra help.
3. Business perspective: As the customer what do they want/need?
4. Accounting perspective: Clear out some liabilities and gain assets.
5. Research extra product or service you can offer.

The next step is more than the actions itself, its a reflection on our entrepreneurship mindset, determination, growth, and commitment to your business goals and vision. Keep moving forward.

This is a list of some of the topics I am going to cover and my experience with one of them.

• Accounting – Who and What to expect
• Innovation & Design – Building a product or service
• Prototyping – Sample product to test in the market
• Financing – Disclaimer: NOT financial advice
• Business Law – Basic knowledge for operation
• Customer Service – Often neglected, crucial for returning customer
• Simply Marketing – Using social media and free resources
• Strategic Growth – Business has to expand to survive
• Exit Plan – Ultimate end game for the business

Making a list will help you find what you need instead of roaming the store trying to remember what you need in the first place.

A list, just like a grocery list, will help you stay organized and remind you of your daily or required tasks to get to the next stage.

This post proved that my focus has gone astray. I talked about how little projects and task leads to larger goals. Although, I could not maintain this site for over a year since my last post or change to this site. I reached the 10 year milestone but have failed to accomplished any of the goal that was set a decade ago. Sometimes we have to restart and build new goals.

Last week my little sister ask for my option on her resume. I mention to her that she needs to update anytime she receive a certification or qualified on a skill. In the last two days, an old buddy of mine is planning to switch jobs also ask for advice on his resume. With all the help and suggestions that I have given, I have yet to update mine. Resume isn’t something that you can just brush off. It is something we need to update regularly. In addition to that, it proves to us that we have progress and gain lots of experiences. If not, then this should be a wake up call.
