This may sound a bit naive however I always advise others to cultivate their "God given" talents first because I have learned that those are the talents that most people thrive while doing. I have learned that we often spend a lot of time attempting to learn or master things in order to best accomplish our goals. More often than not we were already in possession of the skills required to soar we simply choose to take the long route. Do what you feel so comfortable doing that it feels natural and you can't go wrong.

I have a book on Amazon that may help guide you, "Time To Talk". There is a chapter in it that talks about the different businesses that you can do online with little to no overhead cost. Almost everything (no matter what it has been in the past) is transitioning to online so really the sky is the limit.

I have served in the nonprofit field for over 10 years. Have you considered working for a nonprofit human service agency that serves at-risk children? Nonprofit employees may receive full, competitive paychecks! Because you are a trained teacher, you would fit the criteria for a care manager role and/or a direct care role. There are other options/roles as well within the field. These jobs have continued to be available through COVID-19 emergency regulations, and some employees work from home as a result OR they are working from home and they are doing a few days in the office as well. Would you like to schedule a call for more detailed guidance?

Hi First of all, well done for the initiative. Sounds great. When to incorporate is one of the most common questions I get when working with startups. The answer is not too early, in order to save the fees (mainly yearly reports and accountants), but before you have clients (who can potentially sue you) and before you have created anything of value (because then, when you transfer the intellectual property - IP) to the company, you will incur a tax event. In this case, and based on the information you provided, you should definitely incorporate because: 1. You have paying clients (which means legal liability) and if they sue (I hope not, but IF), you want them suing the company, and not you personally. 2. You have "staff" - which again, comes with legal liabilities (by the way, best to 'employ' them as freelancers and not employees. Paying freelancers is much less of a headache. 3. You've created intellectual property which should be transferred to the company, and if you do it now, you may still be able to avoid a tax event (the website is worth money, and you're giving to the company - and whenever someone, or a legal entity, gets something of value, the tax authorities ask for a % - like when you get paid your monthly salary). In this case, there is now reporting to the tax authorities, but if you ever sell your business (have an 'exit' event) then the issue might come up. Bottom line: you should incorporate. p.s.: don't forget to add a terms of service/terms of use + a privacy policy (and no, copying it from another website - even if you made changes, won't work - this is still copyright infringement). Also, if you're targeting kids under 13 in the US, don't forget to include the sections regarding COPPA (children's privacy act). Good luck! I've successfully helped over 350 entrepreneurs, startups and businesses, and I would be happy to help you.

Hi If you don't want to go to each website individually, the only other method I can think of would be to find other reports already made which cover gender inequality in corporations and collect the information from there. But if you want something that keeps being updates and is accurate, the bets would be to write a script (code) that would check the relevant page of each company every few months. Yes, it would be a lot of work finding all the pages in the beginning, but afterwards at least the updates would be automatic. I know a guy who writes great scripts if you need.

It depends on the stage of your business. If you are at the beginning, spending money on brand advertising is a sure NO. Which doesn't mean you shouldn't aim to build a brand... Building a brand is always good, it increases the value of your business allowing you also to sell it if you decide you want to exit and start something else. Spend money on direct marketing, test and refine what works and test new, even cheaper avenues. And build your brand without investing money in advertising, start with defining the mission & main story of your business, its key values them creating a memorable identity- logo, main colors, main fonts, templates for all marketing materials, activities, channels, tagline that captures your brand essence, and finally making sure you are consistent using the above tools. Branding also takes a lot of time but as long as you are consistent and you do a good job with the elements above, you will be on your way and you won't need to spend money advertising it. Obviously the more unique the business story & brand elements, the higher your chances to achieve brand awareness and recognition faster.

HI I am Paul known as Pauley The Plantman

I have a couple of ideas let your friends on other social media sites know about it.Such as Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin. In this case Facebook is probably the best. Let them know about what your goal and idea is on instagram. I have a friend who did something on instagram and two things I remember that helped him big time is first he had a nice following of people. And he had also had a great goal and idea for his thing on instagram. Another thing is to join a few networking groups and groups that focus on social media.

There are a few online B2B marketplaces in the US to consider and which one you go with will depend on your requirements. Amazon Business: This is a very legitimate option now as Amazon looks to expand its offering away from just a B2C model, with a greater focus on B2B. You can offer unique discounts for businesses and a host of other features to drive your B2B business. ThomasNet: This is more for a traditional supplier/purchaser business relationship but may be a worthwhile avenue if you sell high volume or recurring use items Alibaba and eWorldTrade: Both Chinese based business so I am unsure of any implications on trading here from the US however there are a huge number of US businesses looking to buy on here and so they are atill some of the largest B2B platforms.

Strategy | Operations | Entrepreneurship

For starter, you can apply the framework that you used to sell a product in your eCommerce business, to selling a brand/website/company to potential buyer/investor. Since you have experience in eCommerce, this must be familiar with you. For example: 1. Understand the market. Is there a market for your brand? I.e. is there a potential buyer who would be interested in buying your brand? What marketplaces have you looked into to buy and sell these brands/websites/companies? 2. Pricing/valuation. How do you value your business? What valuation methodology do you use? is it a multiply of revenue, profit, or something else? Going backward, what kind of financials do you have to achieve to be able to sell your brand at the valuation you are expecting? 3. Fulfillment/transfer of ownership. How do you manage this? Is your business transfer-ready (i.e. having a system in place that can easily transferable to a new owner?) Happy to jump on a call to chat more!

Hi! so sorry to learn that you are going through this! I have some information for you in the following link HOWEVER please note that I am not a Doctor or Medical professional (I do work in healthcare and I have an MBA in Healthcare Mgmt)-- I am a researcher and sociologist and I personally use the following website for valuable health info. Consult your doctor before taking any type of herbal remedy or supplement. Keep a list of all your medications, supplements, and herbal remedies. Purchase herbal supplements from reputable sources to avoid contamination and unhealthy ingredients. You may wish to get a second opinion from another doctor as well, as sometimes I find that certain doctors struggle with working in partnership with their patients, especially when the patient is a woman AND when they may be a woman of color due to underlying biases, etc. Some doctors are more open to holistic approaches to health as well. Without further ado, here is the link to the info, and please be safe and well!! Find a healthcare professional that listens and understands that you are in charge of your health :-): Request a call with me so that we can discuss this further within my lines of expertise- https://www.healthline.com/health/fibroids-natural-treatment#types
