Sir Richard Branson has been one of my role models for years. His flamboyant personality, can-do attitude and outside-the-box thinking inspires me in my entrepreneurial journey in one way or another. I love the way he raises his kids, in such a way that they kept grounded even though they can do anything with their father’s wealth. I love how he creates a fun working environment at Virgin.
Well, if you don’t know who Richard Branson is, here is one sentence that can pretty much describe who he is: Sir Richard Branson is a British entrepreneur who founded Virgin Group, a holding company of over 400 companies.…

As you might already known, cloud computing is a rising trend, and as more companies adopted it, the more important it will become in the future. In fact, this is the very reason why I started the blog.
Probably you’ve guessed right, but to set the record straight: I’m not a cloud computing expert. I do have an interest in cloud computing and I do use cloud-based services (in fact, my business runs in the cloud.)…

The answers are largely typical: Placing ads, promoting affiliate programs, doing sponsored posts, etc. But one question remains unanswered: How to get brands to place their ads or order a sponsored post on your business blog?

Google Glass, although still a prototype and you had to compete with thousands other to get one and try it yourself (application for this has been closed, by the way…,) the conversation has started to heat up.
…and the hype is also fueled by the media, which buzz the high-tech glasses: Google Glass for adult entertainment; the now dropped potentially-privacy-buster facial recognition capabilities; the many uses of Google Glass – including healthcare, commerce and humanitarian – to name a few.…
The media – TV, film and online, haven’t been seen as integral to the UK’s overall economic performance, but the creative industries do seem to bring some financial benefits. Well over 100,000 people work in old and new media – newspapers, TV stations, creative agencies, film studios and even social media sites are all major employers.

As the oldest broadcasting institution in the UK, the BBC has become a reliable source of information and entertainment, whatever some people think of their recent output.…
When you are having a great relationship with your family and relatives, it’s tempting to take your relationship to work in a business venture. However, I’ve witnessed so many relationships are becoming broken because of business-related issues. Why can things just work like the way it is when running a family business?
There are some answers to the question: Different business aspiration, different business principles and policies, and so on. But from what I’ve seen, heard and experience, the most typical answer to that question is… (fanfare)… money.…

I am a lifestyle entrepreneur; I am location independent. I am actually working at home right now, but if I want to, I can just travel to tourist spots and bring my business with me – with ease. The thing is, it’s not as difficult as you might have thought – if I can do it, you can definitely do it, too!
You see, I am fortunate to build a business that fits my lifestyle, not the other way around. It wasn’t easy, and things are still challenging today.…
