StartUpNation.Com

I love this site. It is basically an online community for entrepreneurs and business owners. This site was set up by the Sloan brothers (Rich and Jeff) who also mentors through StartUp Nation radio. There are articles on every facet of starting, running, and growing a business. When you log on, you can create an entrepreneur profile and then take part in the community discussions. There is of course a e-newsletter you can subscribe to which almost always leads me to the site immediately as soon as I see the topics being featured that week. Start-Up nation is a great place to meet people that can give valuable advice because there are all types of business owners that are on all types of levels as far as business goes. Go, check it out and tell them that I sent you :-)

Practice Relaxing

It pains me to do so at times but sometimes I need to walk away from the computer. There is no other reason except, the cramps in my fingers, the persistent neck and back pain and the pressure on my eyelids. You would think that I would just get up, stretch, get something to drink, and maybe use the bathroom. Trust me, I won't until my neck is twisted into a pretzel and my bladder is a ticking time bomb. So my advice is to learn how to take breaks. A break does not make you a slacker, it actually helps in your productivity. The glare of the computer screen sometimes seems as if it is erasing brain cells because everything that I need is literally one click away but just that quick, I forget and then I stare for awhile. But, I remember while I am sipping my cold glass of lemonade.
