Looking back at my college years (well I graduated 2 months ago, so I won’t have to look too far) I definitely could’ve managed my time better. But I’d have to say that my last few semesters of college I was able to at least get halfway back on track as I started

Medical Billing - Hiring A Programmer
In this installment of medical billing, we're going to look at the software company itself and cover some basic things that they should do when looking for a programmer to create the software that will eventually be sold to the public. Unlike other industries, this will require certain knowledge that most programmers don't have and will need to get in a hurry.As a programmer, if you're a good one, you're going to have a basic knowledge of how to write structured code, how to interact with databases and so on. Any decent programmer worth his salt is going to have th

Time…oh… time… how I wish that I had more of you. Don’t you wish that you had more time, too? The one thing that all students definitely lack is, of course, time. We have to make time for homework…time for our social lives…time for our girlfriends…time for those study groups…time for those nasty part-time jobs that we all hate… And on top of all that we have to make time for building our companies. Almost seems impossible, right? Well it isn’t as long as you manage your time well. I never really did, but I at least started to at some point.

With the proper time management, any student entrepreneur can balance their school work with their business work. Sure it takes a lot of discipline and devotion but I’m confident that it can be done with the proper desire.

When I first started my company in my sophomore year of college, I found myself in complete disarray when it came to starting a business and concentrating on my school work. There would be days when I left class to go to business meetings and days when I decided to skip classes to work on something to do with…take a guess….my business.

I saw myself beginning to drift more away from school as most of my hours were being spent working on my business. I was an entrepreneur torn between two worlds. World #1 trying to be a normal college student and maintain my high GPA and World #2 as a young budding entrepreneur trying to take over the world. Let me tell you, it wasn’t easy and my grades inevitably suffered.

I knew that is wasn’t the end of the world when my grades dropped a few points here and there, especially knowing that the national average age that a millionaire received in college was a C. So when my straight A’s turned into A’s, B’s, and one C, I wasn’t fazed. I knew that my slightly lower grade was just a tradeoff for being a devoted entrepreneur in college.

I’m not sure if I ever fully got back on track with my school work after I started my company in 2004. Writing down business ideas just became more important that reading poetry and studying for exams. About the only classes that I was able to stay interest in were my business classes, now they were actually fun (but I still didn’t like doing the homework).

Build Your Business Around Your Strengths
Building a business is like constructing a house. You want to build your home on a solid foundation and then make it your own by personalizing it with your strengths, maybe interior design, painting or decorating, and outsource the areas that are your weaknesses, perhaps plumbing, roofing or electrical wiring. In the same way you want to build your business around your strengths and where you have weaknesses you should look into outsourcing work. So what areas are you strongest in? What are your business’s strengths? Sometime these two things start off being one and th

Awareness
What is awareness, anyway? The dictionary describes it as wakefulness or knowingness. In the world of advertising, the meaning is slightly different. Awareness is described in a variety of ways, including recall and recognition of brand, key features and positioning. If your customers can remember any of these about your products or services, you are doing well.How do you create awareness? Word-of-mouth is the most inexpensive option and works well as long as you are providing quality customer service and products. Tell everyone you know about your business. I

More than Hot Air
If we look at the history of Marketing, we will see an interesting evolution of the leading brand attributes capitalized on by marketing tactics and strategies.After the Second World War, we saw the birth of different products and after some time, man had been able to create a myriad of products for everything a person could possibly ever need and want. That is why, by the 1960s, these brands of products needed to get aggressive.To gain an advantage over other products, different brands invested in active sales forces to peddle their respective brands.

I began doing my school work days and sometimes weeks in advance. So for instance, I would check the syllabus for a class and see what’s due and when. Then between classes (I usually had 3 hour breaks here and there), I would spend my time doing homework way in advance so that I wouldn’t have to cram it all on the night before it was due.

Doing this allowed me to spend my nights and weekends working on my business. I tried to schedule my business meetings for the days that I actually had off of school (makes sense, right?), usually Thursdays – Sundays, instead of blowing class for a meeting.

On the weekends during the day I would spend my time brainstorming, making calls, making plans, and implementing ideas. Then, of course, like any college student I would go out at night and have a blast. When I went out I not only partied hard, but I made sure to network hard. I was constantly engaging other students in conversations about my business, spreading the word as much as I could. This was and still is my favorite part about being an entrepreneur: the networking side of the business.

Talking to other students about my business and their interests at a social gathering was always an awesome experience for me. Remember that if your business deals with students, then you have to constantly study other students and to spread that buzz.

Once I began managing my time better, I was able to get better results with my business and school work, things were definitely looking better for me during my last few semesters at college.

So for all of you student entrepreneurs out there, remember to balance your time properly between your business and your school work and if your grades suffer a bit in the process, then don’t worry about it too much – it’s not the end of the world. Have fun, work hard, party hard, and never stop building your business.

As entrepreneurs, it’s easy to get discouraged. The tricky thing about being positive is that it’s an attitude, not a feeling. It’s a state of mind that is self-induced. How often do you hand that control over to someone — or something — else? The truth is, you can allow yourself to let these external factors control you, usually causing a negative attitude, or you can CHOOSE to achieve and sustain a positive outlook. Here are 3 ways I’ve learned to keep a positive attitude.
