My Business Is Not Like Yours

Most of you have a product or service to provide that fits quite well in promoting it on Sup.biz. My type of business is slightly different in that it offers love, or should I say it offers the possibility for one to find their health conscious and/or fit love. My business is a dating and fitness website called blackfitandsingle.com that will launch May 15, 2009. Since I'm still exploring promotional strategies to expose my business, I occasionally leave blogs and topics that are about me, allo… Continue

Someone Else Thought Of Me On This Valentine's Day...

My emotions have evolved during Valentine's Day in these last sevens years. Being single for about that long, those years were saturated with mixed emotions evolving from frustration, sadness and/or depression to indifference and disregard, to simply a day to enjoy with family and friends... and sometimes it was simply just another day for me. This time, I saw Valentine's Day as just another day and only felt an inkling of sadness... And as the day wore on, I was busy with things to do and plac… Continue

A Bundle of Wisdom - In Memory of Sweetpea

I can turn this into a very sad and picturesque love story. But, the pain cuts too deep and my swollen eyes are dry and burning from the all-day, off-and-on sobbing. Sweetpea is dead. My love. My little friend. My family. My most tender and loving feline has unexpectedly expired... in my arms... right before my eyes, and it feels as if my heart has collapsed. We slept together the night before and played her favorite cat game this morning shortly before she... died. And now she's dead. Just lik… Continue

I Finally Have Something To Share With All Of You!

I've been a member of Sta.rtup.biz for a little while now. I'd browse the profiles of the many members who reside here and read all the interesting information and expertise each novice and seasoned entrepreneur or small business owner have to offer. I would sometimes consider canceling my membership because I felt I had no idea, product or information that would be of value to any of you. But, I decided to stick around to at least help you celebrate your ventures and successes. Yet, it really… Continue

Pushing Through

I see a light and I have a vision. Stepping in the way of that beautiful light and that reachable vision is a looming, pestering blackness that always seems to try and block my attempts for freedom. Like everyone else around these parts and beyond, I am facing an impending layoff. My first thought, my first reaction is to do what I've done in many of my past situations: Cry, get angry, act out, get depressed and then react. I'd hurry and look for a job, give up on my dreams and hopes for indepe… Continue

'FOCUS 2009'

For the 3rd year in a row... no 4th year... maybe the 5th... I really think it's the 4th... Well, anyway, my cat and I have spent all those New Years together. And though I enjoyed her company, some of those New Year Eve's were not so happy ones. Others were just another year coming in with apprehensive hopes. Last year might have been a more 'forced' ambitious year. And that was because I had finally decided that I was tired of having either uneventful years or just plain out right struggling y… Continue

Fear Ain't Minding Us...

It really isn't! We're minding it. Once we create fear in our minds it takes on the form of our excuses: "I don't have the money to start a business". "I have three kids to focus on." "Why would my idea work? I'm sure someone else thought of it first!" "I'm not all that talented. Anyone can do what I do." "I need a steady paying job. I can't afford to take chances." The list of excuses are endless. I could share with you the hundreds of excuses I've used in the past. But, that would only hinder… Continue

Finally! I Feel A Part Of This Site.

I've been a member of Sta.rtUp.Biz for quite a few months now with no ideas, no business and nothing to contribute. Some people are slow learners or what some call late bloomers. I'm one of them. Instead of keeping things simple/stupid, I tend to make them difficult. I can't just look at something and say, "It's blue. Let's go with it." I have to figure out the tone of blue, the meaning behind it, how it affects what, and then get frustrated from all the red tape I created and move on to someth… Continue
