Jim Armstrong Entrepreneurship is a tricky word. I feel like everyone wants to call themselves an entrepreneur these days, myself included. Many of us juggle side projects and are constantly coming up with the next "big idea." This post details the struggles of channeling this passion and feeding this passion, until you become a full-time entrepreneur --> http://bit.ly/I9sTQV

Daniel Umbro I hope you do not take my post with a grain of salt, being this is my first time commenting in this group. With that being said, a really great tool that any entrepreneur should be taking advantage of is the Stonyfield Entrepreneurship Institute. I'm hoping many of you have heard about this event before. The institute offers a highly interactive, intimate venue for networking, storytelling, and problem solving. Don’t miss out on your opportunity...

Jim Armstrong About a month ago, a prominent Washington DC attorney reached out to me to review his book, The Instant Survivor: Right Ways to Respond When Things Go Wrong. I thoroughly enjoyed the read (I normally shy away from these "self-help" type of books). The book is chock-full of amazing stories and his meticulous research shows throughout. I recommend that you read the book, it's a very quick read. Below is my review of the book--> http://bit.ly/FQdj96

Jim Armstrong Do you feel overwhelmed, overloaded and generally unproductive? For many of us, I’m sure the answer is “yes”…and “yes” far more often than we would like to admit. Meet Teri Scheinzeit, the Savvy Business Coach. Teri was named 2011 Mentor/Coach of the Year. I was fortunate enough to interview her a few weeks ago, here's a record of our conversation--> http://bit.ly/zX7i2i

Jim Armstrong How many of you are feeling overwhelmed and bogged down at work? I know I have days where I can't breathe.

Jim Armstrong I was inspired last week from an article I read on Fast Company, which outlined how businesses and individuals can build their brands through quick, to-the-point videos. We're following a similar model in 2012 for Get Busy Media and will be including more video in our content moving forward...to provide users another means to engage with us. We would love to hear your thoughts on how you use video for your small biz--> http://bit.ly/zdWZ6b

Jim Armstrong A relatively new video series came out in the last year, called Behind the Brand. These videos will get you amped. My favorites: Michael Stelzner, Chris Brogan and Gary Vaynerchuk. Video production is excellent, Bryan Elliott is a rockstar interviewer and the stories behind each individual's success are as much divergent as they are fascinating--> http://bit.ly/z3Gw7C

Those who order right at the beginning are the most excited, and they're the ones who have to wait the longest to actually get their apparel... that's just bad business to punish your best customers like that... quite a conundrum.

We have shorter attention spans with ever increasing busy lives and social platforms like Twitter (140 characters). If our attention is not grabbed within 30 or less seconds we will not continue on with the content. Video is a better way to grab that attention.
