Never Dive Into Business Without A Startup Plan
by Tim Knox
This week begins the tale of my recent foray into the world of brick and mortar and the startup lessons learned there from. The lessons to come over the next few weeks are many and not just for those milling around in the brick and mortar crowd. Whether you're starting a retail business in a strip mall or building a virtual business online, many of the fundamentals are the same and the principles for a successful startup apply. You must begin with what I call a "Startup Plan." Read more

Brick & Mortar? Boy, What Were You Thinking?
by Tim Knox
When I was a kid there were five words I heard more than all others combined. Usually coming from my father, they were, “Boy, what were you thinking?” Those words typically came after he caught me doing something I shouldn’t have been or more often, after talking my younger brother into doing something really stupid that could have – but never did – end in his demise. I hadn’t heard those words in many years (at least since my younger brother got taller than me). And I haven’t really missed hearing them (no sentimentality there). But a recent business venture of mine had everyone I know asking, “Man, what were you thinking?” Read more

Be Careful What You Wish For; You Just Might Get It
by Tim Knox
In spite of my professional and personal accomplishments I had always wished for something more. I can't really explain it other than to say a misfiring electron somewhere deep in my brain caused me to always dream of writing a best selling business book and traveling the country to promote it. I wanted to be the southern fried Steven Covey; traveling from town to town spreading the gospel of entrepreneurship for all to hear. It would almost be a religious experience, as I foresaw it in my mind. I envisioned throngs of the entrepreneurial faithful coming from far and wide to hear me speak, to hang on my words, to bask in my wisdom, to pony up $22.95 for the hard cover. Read more

How To Go From Worker Bee To Entrepreneur Wannabe
by Tim Knox
When it comes to careers and business, my radio show partner and author of the best selling career advice book “48 Days To The Work You Love,” Dan Miller, is a walking, talking encyclopedia of precise industry statistics. While I’ve always been comfortable using such statistically noncommittal terms as “many, most, and some,” Dan prefers to remember and espouse accurate numbers. I’ve told him time and again that most people don’t mind fuzzy statistics. He keeps telling me that 58.9 percent prefer to have accurate numbers. Who can argue with math like that?

When It Comes To Starting Your Own Business Never Say It Can’t Be Done
by Tim Knox
I ran across an interesting article in Wired magazine this week that told the tale of Kolo Soro, an elementary school teacher in the tiny village of Tomono in the northern Ivory Coast of Africa. This is an area so remote and void of technology that for generations communication between villages has been done by tying notes to rocks and having passing trucks toss them out the window at pre-described locations. Kolo Soro changed all that when he purchased a cellphone during a visit to a larger city and found that if he held the phone seven feet off the floor in a corner of his bedroom he could get a decent signal. Being an enterprising young man he hung the phone on the wall, hooked up an earbud, and started charging his fellow villagers 80 cents per minute to make calls. He earned $200 the first month.

What’s Stopping You From Starting Your Own Small Business?
by Tim Knox
"I Don't Syndrome" (IDS) is a sad malady that affects many people who claim they want to start their own business, but never seem to get beyond just talking about it. The symptoms of IDS are a lack of belief in themselves, a fear of failure and ridicule, a misguided belief that lots of money is required to start a business, and lousy time management skills. IDS can even cause an otherwise intelligent person to question their own sanity. It’s a sad disease that has prevents thousands of people every year from achieving their American Dream. Read more

Mastermind Your Way To Business Success
by Tim Knox
This is the time of year when our thoughts turn to ringing out the old and ringing in the new. It’s the time for wiping the slate clean and starting over; a time for new beginnings; a time for making New Year’s resolutions that, while spoken with the best of intentions, are usually forgotten by the time the black eyed peas are gone.

It’s A Baby Booming Time For Business
by Tim Knox
The first wave of Baby Boomers turned 60 this year and as many approach the traditional retirement age of 65 they are finding that (a) they are still vibrant and don’ t want to stop working; and/or (b) their life expectancy has been extended and they will be dead broke long before they are dead and gone. As a result Baby Boomers are not slowing down now that they’re approaching what once would have been considered their “golden years.” If you were a man you expected to retire at 65 and die at 75; and if you were smart you banked enough dough to see you comfortably through that stretch. We figured we’d get at least 10 good leisurely years before the grim reaper shows up without having to worry about money. Turns out, we were wrong.

How To Create Your Own Roadmap For Success
by Tim Knox
When I was a kid my family often participated in that grand tradition called, "The Sunday Drive." You remember those long Sunday drives in the car with your family to nowhere? Sure, it was better than sitting at home because we only had three TV channels to watch and cartoons were only shown for a few hours on Saturday morning, but when you got back home didn't you always feel that you hadn't really gone anywhere. If you leave your house and don't stop until you reach your house, what's the point? I always hated those Sunday drives. Read more

Operator Error Is Why Most Businesses Fail
by Tim Knox
This is the column that probably gets me kicked out of the entrepreneurial chapter of the Priory of Scion. I look silly in those long robes anyway, so here goes. A thousand apologies to my entrepreneurial brothers and sisters, but. I think the more important question is: do businesses fail or does the entrepreneur in charge of them fail? I have to be honest and tell you that I think most business failures must be laid at the feet of the person in charge.

Which Affiliate Programs Do I Personally Recommend?
by Tim Knox
I personally receive over a dozen checks and commission payments
every month from various affiliate programs that I promote. Last month, those checks totaled more than $10,000 and some
months they have been as high as $25,000. Given my success as an affiliate marketer, I'm often asked what
affiliate programs I personally recommend. The answer is easy because it's actually a pretty short list. Read more

The Reasons Why Most People Will Never Find Online Success
by Tim Knox
There is no such thing as a real get rich quick opportunity.
If someone tells you that you can start with no money and no
experience and make hundreds of thousands of dollars overnight
they are lying to you and you are a fool for believing them. Yes,
you can make lots of money in a short period of time as an
Internet marketer, but you're not going to get rich this week
unless you hit the lottery or your rich uncle dies. And you have
a better chance of getting hit by lightning than either of those
things happening. Be realistic, be smart, be logical. If it sounds
too good to be true, it is. Read more
