Partnering Up

A real friend, a caring spouse or a good business partner will tell you when you have a booger in your nose.

Marketing Yourself

Marketing is about finding and creating opportunities. When you have no marketing budget, it's time to get scrappy.

Chapter 4

Selling Yourself

Go shake some hands, put out a blog article and tweet a link. Because in a year, you'll be out of business, asking me for a job.

Chapter 5

The "S" Word

Just remember to be yourself. If you're a funny person--be funny. If you're just a nice, kind human--be nice and kind.

Chapter 6

Building a Team

Building a team is an important part of a successful business, but how do you attract the right types of people?

Chapter 7

Team Location, Being Remote

When you force people to work on-site, the talent pool shrinks further. Hire the best you can afford, don't shrink the talent pool.

LessEverything did fixed-bid projects, then the company switched to hourly. Like any decision in life, there are pros and cons to each.

Money, Yo!

The famous Wu-Tang Clan lives by the philosophy, “C.R.E.A.M.” an acronym for “Cash Rules Everything Around Me.”

Count'n Money Yo!

Getting Sued

No matter how honorable or kind you are, someone will eventually be upset with you. Are you prepared?

Chapter 13

Contracts

The last thing you need to know is that you must have a lawyer prepare your contract for you. If you don’t, you are simply a fool.

Chapter 14
