Resources

Hey Empowered Nation!

Getting started is not easy.  That is why it is my pleasure… check that… it is my obligation, no my duty to help you get started fast and effectively to empower your business.

Let me put it in a simple format.  We will cover a few essentials in order.  From websites to wild and crazy exits.  Well, maybe not that last one, but I can promise you, I will do everything in my power to ensure you have the most fun possible and the best possible exit or lifelong profitable business.

COMPANY NAME

Well sorry, I don’t have any resources for that one.  That is up to you, it is something that has to come to you from deep within.  It has to be a passion project.  However I can tell you two things…

When naming your company you can be CLEAR or CUTE.

Honestly, don’t screw around with CUTE, always be CLEAR.  If your audience and clients can’t remember who you are CUTE is not going to help.  However being CLEAR, you will get more repeat visitors, customers and accidental clients too.

Always be CLEAR.

OK, now on to the tools and resources that will make your start up easier and fast track your success.
