As an entrepreneur, you have a million things to think about. Customers, employees, bills, products and deliverables… your day is filled with things that take up space in your mind. But there is a reason why mindfulness for entrepreneurs — paying close attention to the many thoughts racing through your mind — might be a great business strategy.

Mindfulness is key for unlocking big potential in both you and your business.

What is mindfulness?

Mindfulness is described in many ways. You’ve probably heard descriptions by yogis and gurus as well as health professionals and social media influencers. But what is it really?

Ryan M. Niemiec, Psy.D., education director at the VIA Institute on Character, describes mindfulness in three ways. Mindfulness is:

  • Not taking things for granted
  • Returning to the present moment
  • The self-regulation of attention with an attitude of curiosity, openness and acceptance

While Niemiec says the third description is closest to the true scientific definition of mindfulness, many people consider mindfulness to be a combination of these three ideas.

Mindfulness for entrepreneurs, as with any type, involves the process of being in tune with your thoughts and body, regularly checking in, and making adjustments based on what you notice.

It’s the opposite of mindlessly doing things without intention, strategy or consideration.

Mindfulness is often associated with meditation. But it’s important to note that mindfulness isn’t exclusive to meditation. While meditation can help you become more mindful, mindfulness isn’t something that happens only while meditating.

Mindfulness at work and elsewhere isn’t a temporary state.

Mindfulness is a habit that can be practiced all day.

 

It’s a way of living that allows people to check their thoughts and emotions and re-situate how they respond to them.

So, what does this have to do with entrepreneurship?

Why is mindfulness for entrepreneurs important?

Entrepreneurship is tough. Whether starting a business or running an existing enterprise, entrepreneurs are often faced with uncertainty, stress and loads of responsibility.

Keeping the lights on, employees paid, and investors happy requires a lot of mental and emotional energy.

Mindfulness at work is important because it helps entrepreneurs manage these challenges.

Mindfulness has many benefits that serve entrepreneurs.

It improves health

Entrepreneurs rarely can take sick days. They need to be on and at their best almost every day. Mindfulness for entrepreneurs helps maintain their health. It has been shown to:

  • Reduce stress
  • Lower blood pressure
  • Lower heart rate
  • Reduce chronic pain
  • Improve sleep
  • Boost immune system

It fights anxiety and depression

The difficulties of entrepreneurship can cause many founders and CEOs to struggle with mental health issues.

A study by Dr. Michael Freeman, a clinical professor at the University of California, San Francisco, found that one in three entrepreneurs experience depression.

It improves cognitive abilities

Mindfulness For Entrepreneurs Colorful Brain

Entrepreneurs are constantly problem-solving and using analytical thinking to improve and innovate.

They need to have their full brain capacity to think long and hard about difficult problems.

Mindfulness gives entrepreneurs the mental clarity and increased brain capacity they need to perform these complex tasks.

As one study found, “Even a brief, 10-minute daily practice can result in more efficient cognition.”

It battles burnout

Working long hours on draining projects can take its toll on entrepreneurs. Mindfulness at work helps them fight the mental exhaustion that comes with that tough work. It has been shown to lower the incident of burnout and turnover at work.

Entrepreneurship is tough work.

 

Mindfulness for entrepreneurs helps make that tough work manageable. It makes entrepreneurs more productive, more effective, healthier and even happier. All of these things can create a big boost in you and your business.

So, how can you embrace mindfulness for entrepreneurs?

How to embrace mindfulness at work

Being mindful at work means taking the core elements of mindfulness and infusing it into your daily work habits. It means putting intention into your scheduling, tasks and processes.

Here are a few ways you can use mindfulness at work.

Schedule your day mindfully

Being mindful means being intentional about your thoughts and your actions. To practice mindfulness for entrepreneurs, carefully think about how you spend your time and schedule your day.

Embrace routine. It’s easier to relax and remain in touch with your thoughts when you know what is coming ahead of you. So infusing your day-to-day with even a tiny bit of structure can help you be more mindful.

You don’t have to become a full creature of habit, but building a loose, adaptable schedule with regular tasks and activities will make it easier to keep you focused.

Plan your day. To create routine and structure in your days, start by identifying everything you want your typical day to include. Take out a piece of paper, write down your core daily elements, and schedule them in.

Your list might include both work and personal items such as:

  • Working (on what projects and/or type of work )
  • Meetings
  • Preparing and eating meals
  • Running errands
  • Exercising
  • Reading or doing other hobbies
  • Commuting
  • Cleaning
  • Sleeping
  • Caring for your kids
  • Spending time with your partner

Avoid meetings early in the day. As you plan out your day, try to avoid scheduling meetings first thing or early in the morning. People tend to be more productive and primed to do more thoughtful work in the mornings.

Meetings can derail that and pull your energy out early in the day.

And keep in mind that mindfulness and productivity work differently for everyone. If you’re restless and energized in the morning, schedule meetings then. Knowing and doing what’s best for you is what being mindful is all about.

Start your workday by doing the most difficult task first. Because most people are more productive, attentive and thoughtful in the morning, use that time to dive into your most difficult work of the day.

Not only will you have the mental energy to drive you forward, but you will also knock out the toughest thing on your to-do list. Nothing else you need to do will feel quite as stressful, which allows you to have a more relaxing rest of the day.

Mindfulness For Entrepreneurs Man Writing At Desk

Take (and schedule) short breaks throughout the day. As you create your daily schedule, don’t fill it with non-stop activity. Leave gaps in your schedule for breaks. In fact, schedule them in.

Plan time to leave your desk or office and use that break to get away from your work, go for a walk, or practice mindfulness exercises.

Know when it’s time to stop. The opposite of working mindfully is continuing to work to just pass time or fill a slot in your calendar. Stay in touch with your energy levels and productivity.

If you feel yourself starting to slip and just wasting time, stop working.

Even if it throws off your calendar, take a break to re-energize so you can return and do more efficient and effective work. And when it’s the end of the day: stop.

Related: Time block your calendar to get more stuff done

Work more mindfully

Mindfully planning your day makes it easier to stay focused and intentional during the day. There are also mindfulness strategies you can use while working on individual tasks and projects.

The following strategies make you more productive, help you avoid distractions, and stop you from mindlessly (and poorly) executing.

Use a simple checklist. Using checklists to carry out complex tasks with many elements or steps to ensure consistency and efficiency. T

his strategy was outlined to near-perfection in Atul Gawande’s book “The Checklist Manifesto.” In it, he argues that by rigidly following a simple checklist, your processes are less error-prone, meaning you can reap the benefits of a significant reduction in “human error” mistakes. Implementing this method is simple.

The next time you carry out a task — any task — document the exact steps, including login details, email addresses and anything else that’s pertinent. Then simply follow the checklist to the letter, and add in any elements you missed.

Over time, you’ll improve your ability to create comprehensive checklists and build up a handy set of resources for recurring tasks.

Bolster your sense of achievement with an “anti to-do” list. Of course, how to use a basic to-do list is common knowledge when it comes to productivity methods. However, this strategy is inherently negative. At the end of the day, all your list shows is what you failed to achieve.

Anti to-do lists are a smart solution to that problem. They begin empty, and by the end of the day, are filled with the tasks you’ve completed.

This self-motivational tool can work wonders for your productivity and sense of self-achievement.

To implement this technique, take items from your regular to-do list and complete them, but note what they are. Look at the list the next morning, and then rinse and repeat.

From here, you can take things further, such as using a dedicated Trello board to keep track of your daily lists. Eventually, you might not even need your original to-do list.

Iterate your tasks using the Autofocus method. The next mindful work method takes a holistic approach to your to-do list and works with (rather than against) you.

Using Autofocus keeps boredom at bay by giving you different tasks to complete, chips away at your current list of tasks, and keeps organization requirements to a minimum. It’s this last point that makes Autofocus so intriguing.

At its foundation, the method works by making use of three lists:

  1. New tasks
  2. Recurring tasks
  3. Unfinished tasks

You’ll go down your current to-do list, completing any task you can, and repeating it until you get to the end. If you don’t finish an item that day, place it on the unfinished list. Once you have no new tasks, you begin working on your other lists.

This is a smart way to cycle through and tick off everything you have to complete — moving you closer to mindfulness.

Break apart mammoth tasks with the Flowtime Technique. The last of our mindfulness at work methods owes a lot to the Pomodoro Technique, which breaks tasks down into strict, timed divisions, punctuated by regular breaks.

The hope of the Pomodoro Technique is that you won’t get bored or burnt out on one particular, “must-complete” task.

However, its almost robotic workflow doesn’t take complexity into account.

The Flowtime Technique relaxes time constraints and lets you decide how long a task will take.

 

Essentially, you pick a task, record your start time, and then note whenever you take a break. You should keep these breaks clearly scheduled, but work based on your own stamina and the demands of the task in question.

You might even discover more about your working patterns in the process, enabling you to become more efficient in the future.

Check-in throughout the day

Mindfulness for entrepreneurs isn’t something that you can just plan for and hope it happens on its own. It takes intentional effort to remember to check-in and return back to reviewing your thoughts.

Here are a few practices that can bring you back to more mindful moments during the workday.

Make time for mindfulness exercises. Throughout the day, perform mindfulness exercises. These practices don’t have to take much time. Spending even just a few minutes every hour can make a big difference.

  • Perform a body scan. Start at the top of your head and think about everything you feel moving all the way down to the tip of your toes.
  • Release tension. Stop and feel where you might be unintentionally holding tension in your body. Release tightness in your jaw, shoulders or hands.
  • Stretch. Stand up and put your arms over your head and release the stress that might be building in your body.
  • Review all of your senses. What do you smell, see and hear? What can you touch and taste?
  • Breathe. Take a few deep inhalations. Hold your breath at the top of an inhale and after you exhale all of the air.

Observe your emotions and act accordingly. It’s very difficult to be mindful and thoughtful when your emotions are running wild. So practice paying attention to when you feel stressed, frustrated, tired, agitated or hungry. Identify where you feel the emotion in your body, and question what event caused you to feel that way and why.

When you feel yourself slipping into any of these negative emotions, perform a mindfulness exercise and recalibrate your emotional state before making any big decisions, having difficult conversations, or engaging in challenging tasks.

Be grateful. One of the best ways to reset your mindset is by spending a few moments in gratitude.

Acknowledge where you are in your entrepreneurial journey, be grateful for what you have already accomplished, and show appreciation for your coworkers, employees and partners.

Gratitude helps foster a positive mindset and also comes with its own set of health benefits. It improves psychological health, increases mental strength, reduces aggression, and enhances empathy.

Avoid habits that reduce mindfulness

Even if you commit to mindfulness at work with the best of intentions, if you’re tired, hungry or scattered, it’s nearly impossible to make it work.

Taking care of yourself physically and mentally and creating a workspace that’s conducive to workday productivity can make it easier to return to more mindful work.

Here are five bad habits that can make it more difficult for you to be mindful at work.

Not getting enough sleep

According to a study from the RAND Corporation, insufficient sleep is costing the United States $411 billion dollars a year in lost workday productivity.

When you’re running on fumes you’re less focused and more likely to make errors that you’ll have to go back and correct later on.

 

You should be aiming for at least seven hours of sleep per night to be your best, most-effective self at work.

Multitasking

The ability to multitask is something a lot of entrepreneurs and professionals wear as a badge of honor. But as Travis Bradberry notes in Forbes, numerous studies have shown that multitasking actually reduces workday productivity.

Ironically, the participants in the study who declared themselves effective multitaskers were actually the ones most likely to be slowest at switching from one task to another.

Poor diet

A paper in the British Journal of Health Psychology studied the effects of eating fruits and vegetables and found the participants who ate the most fruits and veggies throughout the day reported higher levels of creativity, engagement and focus.

Make it easy to find healthy food at work. Meal prep on Sunday night so you can bring lunch for the week and have granola bars and apples on hand rather than relying on the vending machine.

A messy workspace

There’s a line of thinking that creativity comes from chaos. You might think your messy desk is a sign of genius, but in reality, the clutter is slowing you down.

In a study reported in Harvard Business Review, people seated at messy desks took longer to answer word and color matching questions than those at a tidy workspace.

When you’re surrounded by a mess, your sense of personal control is lessened, which makes it more difficult to self-regulate and complete your tasks.

Lack of preparation

Maintaining workday productivity means making sure that you have the tools to accomplish your task.

Put together a list of all the things you’ll need to complete your project ahead of time.

 

Be sure that you have all of your ducks in a row in advance so that you’re not discouraged and defeated before you even begin your work.

Use mindfulness to improve your business

Entrepreneurship is hard. You need every tool available to you to make it easier. So remember, business tools aren’t always directly tied to running everyday operations — sometimes they are tools tied to helping you run your mind.

Use these mindfulness tips to put you in a mindset that will help you work more effectively and efficiently and lead to higher productivity, better results, and more satisfaction with your workdays.

Top website security posts by Sucuri – December 2019

Our Malware Research and Incident Response teams work around the clock to identify emerging threats — and we’re proud to share our knowledge and findings with the community.

We’ve gathered a few of our most popular posts from December to educate you about the latest trends and tips in website security.


The anatomy of credit card stealing malware. 

Over the past few years, one of the largest trends in web-based malware has been credit card stealers — also known as credit card skimmers.

So, what are credit card stealers?

Easily one of the most straightforward methods for hackers to generate a profit, credit card stealers allow hackers to collect valuable personal information and real credit card details from a compromised website.

Once the hacker gets their hands on the stolen information, it’s only a matter of time before they abuse it for online purchases or other nefarious purposes.

Skimmers can steal personal information and credit cards from hacked sites.

 

Credit card stealers pose a serious risk for any website owner. Consequences include a significant impact to site reputation, loss of customer trust, and compliance issues.

How do hackers infect websites?

Infection mechanisms for credit card stealing malware are the same as any type of infection. Typically, hackers leverage a known vulnerability in the website’s environment — which can come in the form of a software vulnerability in a plugin, theme, or the CMS itself.

Usually, modern attacks are automated “search and infect” attacks, which simply seek out vulnerable websites. If a vulnerability is found, it is exploited and the infection begins.

Automated attacks often exploit known vulnerabilities to plant malware.

 

Who are the targets of credit card stealing malware?

Credit card stealing malware is often found on the websites of online merchants or sites that accept online  payments. Occasionally, an automated attack may also plant a credit card skimmer on a regular website that doesn’t even collect payments.

Finding a credit card stealer on a non-ecommerce website shouldn’t be taken lightly. This is a serious indication that the website has been compromised and may contain other types of malware, including website backdoors.

Common types of credit card stealers. 

There are almost too many variations of credit card stealers to count. Credit card skimmers can be found as small snippets of code injected into files, or complex and robust standalone files concealed within a hacked environment.

Here’s an example of what a simple four-line credit card stealer looks like:

Credit card stealing malware can also be found as database injections, obfuscated code snippets, and file includes within the core CMS — or they can even load malicious third-party scripts on the website.

How passwords get hacked. 

Consider for a moment the sheer number of passwords you use in a day. Passwords are an essential component for securing web applications, banking credentials, email accounts, social media accounts, and other popular web based services.

It can certainly be tough to keep track of credentials — or generate new secure passwords if your account’s authentication is set to expire. This disdain most users have for proper password maintenance often leads to bad password practices and can sometimes benefit bad actors.

So, how does an attacker hack a password?

Attackers usually employ dictionary attack tools to help them compromise an account. These tools make multiple login attempts using a list of known, popular passwords.

Dictionary attack tools help hackers attempt thousands of passwords against an account.

 

Attackers will try every password from the list until a match is found — at which point the attacker might log in with the stolen credentials to plant a backdoor for future entry.

Sometimes, hackers even publish their successful password attempts after a successful attack, making it easy for other bad actors to use lists and gain unauthorized access to accounts.

Password security best practices.

A strong, unique password is key to protecting your account. The best passwords do not contain obvious combinations of numbers or letters.

Passwords should always be long, complex, and contain a mixture of upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.

Use a password manager.

Found in the form of browser extensions as well as mobile and desktop applications, password managers often offer the ability to generate and securely store them for future use.

Why hackers create phishing campaigns. 

Attackers design phishing campaigns for a number of reasons and are typically used to gain privileged access or sensitive information.

Phishing campaigns can come in the form of fake websites, phone numbers, emails — or even in person.

Phishing for financial information.

One of the most common goals is to obtain sensitive financial data. This information might include credit card details, bank credentials, or they might even trick victims to send money to the attacker.

Fake banking websites and landing pages are regularly used in phishing campaigns to harvest financial credentials when a user tries to log in.

Personal information obtained in phishing attacks.

Stealing sensitive personal information is another common goal for attackers. When obtained, a victim’s identity can be stolen and profited from.

Some common types of personal information targeted by phishers include:

  • Social security numbers (SSN)
  • Names
  • Addresses

Attackers may also phish for lesser-known information, including:

  • Name of your favorite teacher
  • Name of your first pet
  • Street where you grew up

The answers to these types of questions are commonly used for identity verification and account recovery. Using this information, an attacker might be able to recover an account or reset a password without the victim being aware that they are targeted.

Unauthorized access to websites or computers.

Sometimes, attackers simply seek to add more victims to a compromised network. They might target a website owner to steal credentials, compromise the website, and then exploit the site for their own nefarious purposes.

Protecting yourself against phishing.

There are a number of precautions that you can take to recognize the signs of a phishing campaign.

For example, if a page looks legitimate but contains an unusual request, double-check the URL to make sure that it’s the correct domain name to ensure that it’s genuine.

Phishing attempts may also include urgency in their messaging to trick victims into skipping over important details. Pay close attention to branding and URLs, along with typos. If the content tries to rush you or tells you that it requires an immediate action, this is definitely a red flag.

If something looks a bit phishy or sounds too good to be true, don’t click on the page, open the attachment, or engage with the pop-up.

This post was originally published on Jan. 20, 2016, and was updated on May 2, 2017, Jan. 10, 2018, Nov. 28, 2018 and Jan. 7, 2020.

When I started blogging in 2009, the market wasn’t quite as saturated with blogs as it is today. There also weren’t as many elements you had to consider for how to start a blog of your own. If you plan to start a blog now, however, the game has changed.

Launching a blog is easier than ever, but there are additional things you will need to think about. But, I’m getting a little ahead of myself.

Whether you’d like to sell more products or are just looking for a way to make money from home, blogging is a great option.

Why? Because people read blogs. They scour the web, looking for information on how to change the oil in their car or nail the season’s hottest looks. Then, confident in their research, they buy products or services related to the post topic.

And, where is most of that information? It’s written in blog posts, of course! Which is why so many people are still getting into blogging. Why shouldn’t you get a piece of the potential profits?

I’ve boiled down everything I know about how to start a blog into seven steps. You can be up and running in less time than it takes to order a pizza!

How to start a blog in 7 steps

How To Start A Blog In 7 Steps Banner With Laptop, Tablet, Glasses And Camera

Follow these seven steps to start your own blog:

  1. Name your blog.
  2. Choose a blog builder.
  3. Pick a web host.
  4. Link your domain name to your blog.
  5. Design your blog.
  6. Publish your first post.
  7. Promote, write more, rinse and repeat.

You’re a mere seven steps away from launching your first blog. Let’s go!

1. Name your blog

Open Notebook With Tablet and Coffee Nearby

The first thing I recommend to anyone who’s curious about how to start a blog is to buy a domain name. (Already got one? Move on to Step 2.)

I own FamousAshleyGrant.com, for example. (Full disclosure, I’ve been a GoDaddy customer since 2009 and have used their WordPress blog hosting since a painful misadventure with a free blogging platform). If you type my domain name into your web browser, you’ll be taken to the corresponding website.

To create a blog, you need a domain name. This becomes your blog address.

 

Until a few years ago, bloggers had just a few choices in web extensions — basically .com, net and .org. Now you can actually get a .blog extension for your web address. Brilliant, right? (There’s also .buzz, .guru and lots more — check out the whole list here.) Whatever you put on the other side of the dot tells readers what your blog’s about.

Tips for picking a domain name for your blog

Picking a domain name is basically a process of typing various combinations of words into the domain search box until you find one you like. A few tips:

  • Make it memorable and easy to type.
  • Keep it short.
  • Avoid numbers and hyphens.

Now head on over to your favorite domain registrar (ahem, GoDaddy) to buy it. Once you’ve registered your domain name, no one else on earth may use it. Consider it your own private piece of digital real estate.

2. Choose a blog builder

Whenever I give talks on how to start a blog, people ask me what blog platform they should use.

Although there are plenty of options out there, WordPress is the favorite because it’s easy to set up and versatile, with oodles of cool plugins and extensions to make your blog do just about anything. (At the time of this update, there are nearly 75 million WordPress blogs on the internet, so there’s that.)

Man Using WordPress On Laptop

You don’t need to know a thing about programming to use WordPress.

 

There is a free version of WordPress available, but do yourself a favor and spring for the paid version. As I mentioned before, I started with a free blog platform (not WordPress) because I was new and trying to save money and knew nothing about how to start a blog.

My learning moment happened back when I focused a lot on my blog TampaBayFreebies.com. I managed to get some local news coverage and traffic to my blog spiked.

Yay!

But, I’d hardly finished celebrating before I was hit by a spam bot and completely lost control of my blog.

Boo!

I then spent hours trying to reclaim MY blog so I could get back to work. I had to verify my identity and ownership of the site … long story short, it was a complete time suck. All the while, of course, visitors to TampaBayFreebies.com were seeing “Sorry, this page doesn’t exist.”

Grrrr!

Now I use GoDaddy’s Managed WordPress solution for blogging.

 

It’s an excellent, affordable option and I haven’t had any trouble with spambots.

Now, there are plenty of cheap or free blogging platforms that you can choose — but you’ll want to keep a few potential pitfalls in mind if you decide to go with a platform other than WordPress.

You can’t customize your blog site by changing the background code

Although some of the free platforms have improved their customization, it’s significantly harder to change the background code on other blog builders. You don’t get nearly the versatility and power to change your site as WordPress allows.

You’re limited to the design themes and styles they offer you

If your needs are simple, you might not care about the selection of blog themes and styles other blogging platforms offer. But many business owners and others who blog like being able to customize the look and feel of their blogs.

WordPress offers tons of free themes and premium themes so you can design your blog exactly the way you want. In fact, there are more than 54,000 WordPress plugins to choose from to further customize your blog as well.

Related: Setting up WordPress

They lack community support in the form of forums and tutorials where you can get free “how-to” guides

Both community support and customer service seem limited as well because these are free platforms and they don’t have to care about you. In fact, when I had trouble with my free blog, I managed to find a customer support number, and they literally said to me that they couldn’t assist me because I had no purchased products on file with them.

To be fair, there are loads of free “how-to” guides on forums and on YouTube for the free builders. But they aren’t always easy to understand, and they can be frustrating to implement.

Adding eCommerce functionality can be difficult and expensive

Look into how much it’s going to cost you to make it possible to sell stuff on your blog. Not every blogging platform makes it as easy and affordable as WordPress does. A lot of people use the WooCommerce plugin for eCommerce on WordPress.

So, we’ll just assume you’re savvy enough to go with WordPress and move right along.

3. Pick a web host

Web hosting is what makes your blog visible to others on the web. Without it, no one but you would ever see your blog posts.

Hosting typically runs on a server owned by a web hosting company, and your blog takes up just a small space on that server. It’s kind of like renting a single apartment in a building. You pay for the space you use.

How To Start A Blog Hosting

Unlike an apartment, if your hosting account goes down, your blog disappears from cyberspace and all those conversations come screeching to a halt. Worse yet, imagine losing a lucrative sponsorship because your blog was flagged for spam and taken down like mine was.

It’s important to choose a reputable blog hosting company with strong security and an uptime guarantee.

 

You need to be sure that your blog will be up and visible to the whole world 24/7.

Don’t do what I did — get paid hosting from the start.

There are so many web hosting companies out there, all claiming to be the very best; how do you choose the one that will meet your needs when you’re figuring out how to start a blog?

How to determine the hosting needs for your blog

Will your blog require tons of storage space for images and videos? Do you expect a lot of visitors (traffic)? Generally speaking, the more space-hogging elements you have on your blog (e.g. photos and videos) and the more visitors you have at any given time = the more storage and bandwidth you need.

Will you have time to do your own backups and security patches? WordPress requires some regular back-end maintenance. If you don’t have the time or don’t feel comfortable doing this, pay someone else to do it.

Do you expect to use more than one domain name to drive people to your blog and/or website?

Will you require a lot of technical support? If your tech skills are limited to turning on your laptop, don’t go with a free blogging platform. Pay for support — it’ll save you hours of scouring the web for help articles.

How much can you afford to pay for hosting each month? Signup prices for shared hosting are sometimes cheap, but then the subscription renewal prices are high.

When choosing the right company to host your blog, consider both signup and renewal costs, along with any additional fees like purchasing extra storage. Be sure that all charges are within your budget to avoid the risk of things like not being able to pay and losing your blog forever.

I’m going to mention the GoDaddy Managed WordPress platform again because it’s pretty sweet. Hosting is included so you don’t have to worry about any of the backend hosting setup dirty work. It’s inexpensive. It’s really, really fast — even for blogs with scads of images and video — and you can call anytime with questions.

4. Link your domain name to your blog

Whatever hosting company you choose to go with should have a tutorial for how to connect your domain to your blog. If not, this is a red flag and you might want to reconsider your host.

Connecting your domain to your blog should not be like performing brain surgery.

 

It should be fast and easy. Once you have completed this step, the fun stuff begins.

5. Design your blog

This is what you’ve been waiting for since the moment you came looking for instructions on how to start a blog — the time you decide how your blog will look to the world. Now’s when you choose your WordPress theme and any extra plugins to boost your blog’s performance.

A few words about WordPress themes

A theme is the outer layer of your website; it’s how the world sees your website. Themes enable you to test out different styles and layouts without having to recreate anything. There are hundreds of free themes available and hundreds more for purchase.

Whether you go with a free or paid theme, be sure to pick one that reflects who you are and what you do. You want it to be stable, clean and easy to work with.

For the purposes of getting your blog up and running fast, however, just pick a basic theme to get rolling. You can change or customize it later.

A few words about WordPress plugins

Plugins extend the capabilities of WordPress. You can think of them as upgrades or add-ons for your blog. To get started, you can find a wealth of free plugins in the WordPress Plugin Directory.

WordPress Plugins Page

It’s always a good idea to do a little research before you install a plugin. Make sure it’s well-reviewed and well-supported.

6. Publish your first post

How To Start A Blog WordPress Publish

Now, before you go freaking out, this isn’t as scary as it sounds. Your first post can simply be a paragraph announcing the birth of your new blog. You might title it, “Welcome to Our New Blog.”

If you’re a bit more ambitious, you can craft a longer post with a nifty image or two, maybe something along the lines of “Everything You Can Expect on This Blog.” Or pick a middle ground.

Worried about nailing the writing?

Just imagine you’re writing to a good friend to tell them about your new undertaking. They already know and like you, so there’s no need to change your language or try to be someone you’re not.

  • Write in the tone of voice that comes most naturally to you. This will help distinguish your blog from all the others.
  • Set the scene for your readers, describing why you’re starting the blog and what you hope to accomplish.
  • Answer the question: Why does the world need another lifestyle/makeup/parenting/fitness blog? Share the experiences that make your viewpoint valuable.

Don’t worry too much about getting this first post perfect. Sure, the breadcrumbs of the original post’s existence might appear somewhere, but for the most part, everything on your WordPress blog can be changed. Just give it a go.

A few more considerations before you publish

When it comes to blogging, or websites in general, there are important factors that you need to keep in mind. These elements shouldn’t take too much of your time, but not having them in place upfront can cost you time later on, and many unnecessary headaches.

Let’s quickly cover a few considerations you’ll want to review before going live.

Don’t forget your SEO

This is a make-or-break step that some bloggers skip. Before you publish, you need to tweak your blog post so that search engines can find it.

If search engines don’t find your posts, no humans will either.

 

Here’s a quick description of how it’s done:

  • Choose a different keyword or key phrase for each post, adding it to the title, one subhead and naturally throughout the post.
  • Research each keyword with Google’s keyword tool — pick one that relates directly to the post topic and that has a healthy amount of traffic but low competition.
  • Add meta tags for each post using a plugin like WordPress SEO by Yoast.

Adding keywords and meta tags to each post may seem like a hassle, but trust me — it pays off big.

Legal considerations

GDPR compliance is a factor that you need to be aware of. As of May 25, 2018, if you want anyone in the EU to visit your blog, you need it to be GDPR compliant.

With that in mind, there are two awesome posts on the GoDaddy blog that I consider required reading to be GDPR compliant on your blog.

  • The first one explains GDPR compliance — what it is, what it covers, and the eight-point checklist for being compliant. You can check that post out here.
  • The second post offers practical steps for website GDPR compliance, including explaining your privacy policy, your cookie policy and more. Get schooled in these practical steps here.

The good news is, there are plugins available for GDPR compliance as well. If you’re just starting your blog, to simply get it launched, you can use very basic verbiage to be GDPR compliant. However, when you start really getting into the blogging game — i.e. posting links, monetizing, promoting all the things, etc. — you’ll want to be more specific.

It may also be helpful to consult an attorney if you’re planning on using your blog for business, or running your blog as your business.

Your site needs to have an SSL certificate

Padlock On A Wooden Door

Google now slaps a “not secure” warning on websites that don’t have an SSL certificate when they are viewed on Chrome.

In fact, sites that don’t have an SSL certificate in place are also being pushed down in the search results … if they even show up at all.

So if you don’t have one, you need to get an SSL certificate for the sake of your traffic, and the “know, like and trust factor” you have with your visitors.

Related: Does your website need an SSL certificate?

Clearly disclose any sponsorships or ads

Whether you have added a blog to your business domain, or your blog is your business, the Federal Trade Commission wants you to disclose if you’re making money from your site. Over the last couple of years, the FTC has been cracking down on bloggers that don’t disclose when their blog posts are sponsored, or how they are making money from their blogs.

If you have affiliate links or sales links embedded into your blog, the FTC expects you make it clear that the link could lead to income for you.

If you receive something free to blog about, you’re expected to disclose that as well. To learn more about the FTC expectations for your blog, visit their endorsement guide.

Again, this isn’t as critical when you are simply building, and launching your blog. But, the moment you start using it to make any money, somewhere there needs to be a disclosure of how you’re making money from the site. The last thing you want is to get fined by the FTC for not disclosing how you’re monetizing.

By the way, this is just one more reason you might want to consult an attorney if you will be using your blog to make money. I am not an attorney, and I can’t offer definitive legal advice. I am just speaking from my own experiences and my knowledge of issues that bloggers and business owners who blog have faced.

OK, now that all the legal stuff is out of the way, let’s get to that last step of how to start a blog, shall we?

7. Promote your posts, write more, rinse and repeat

You’re blogging for business now, baby! As you get your blog up and rolling, keep the following suggestions in mind:

Connect your social media

Social media is a fantastic way to share and promote your latest blog posts. You can connect with your followers, get an idea of topics that they’d be interested in seeing from you, and instantly share news in a widely-viewed format.

Before you get too comfy, don’t just use social media to share your content like it’s some sort of RSS feed. If you do, you might find that your overall engagement stays disappointingly low. How should you be using social media, then?

Engage with your followers.

 

Find groups that share interests with your blogs and connect with them before you even think of starting to share your blog content. Coming across as personable and accessible attracts readers.

Related: A beginner’s guide to social media for small business

Consider guest blogging

Following up on the previous point, being accessible and relevant drives viewers to your blog. A nifty way to boost your accessibility is to guest blog.

Whether you write a guest blog piece for a blogger in your niche, or you invite a guest blog to post on your site, building a relationship between blogs can give your new site a welcome viewership boost.

And, getting to know other bloggers in your particular topic can have lasting benefits. Which brings us to our next point…

Network, network, network

The more people you know, the faster your blog will grow. Networking can come in the form of Facebook groups, subreddits on Reddit, LinkedIn groups, local clubs/communities, etc.

Not sure how to get started with networking? Join groups on social media. Find forums that center around your niche.

Once you’re in there, never pass up an opportunity to help others out.

 

Share their posts, tag them in the content you think they might find interesting, follow them on relevant social media outlets.

You can also build networks locally. Look into joining local courses related to your blog. Go to conventions aimed at bloggers. Build relationships with the people that you meet and work to maintain those relationships. Having a strong network at your back can give you the boost you never knew you needed.

The importance of an editorial calendar

Open Planner With Calendar And Pen

If you’re still reading, you now know more about how to start a blog than I did when I started blogging in 2009. But let me make one last suggestion: Create an editorial calendar and decide how often you want to post.

If you don’t have time to write as often as you’d like, consider hiring a ghostwriter, putting out a cattle call for guest bloggers (like I mentioned a bit ago), or even hiring a content manager to write your material and post it for you.

You’re on your way!

Once you develop a healthy archive of blog posts, use it to keep growing. You can continue refining your SEO skills, learn how to use your blog to drive more traffic to your website to increase sales, and send your content to the media to establish yourself as an expert in your field.

Now that you’re on the blogging-for-business train, the possibilities are truly endless!

GoDaddy DNS and Domain Connect

$

Let’s talk about DNS and Domain Connect. DNS stands for the Domain Name System. It is a core part of the internet. But people often don’t consider it and why it is important.

What is DNS

So what is DNS?

You can think of DNS like a phone book. When you want to call someone, you need to know their phone number. So you grab the phone book (OK, we tend to look this up on the internet now but the analogy will suffice), find the person’s name, and get the phone number and address. Now you can punch in numbers and make the phone call.

DNS performs a similar role.

It is the phone book that maps the domain name to the data required to interact with services for the domain.

 

When you type in example.com in your web browser, your system needs to know the IP address of the server where the content for example.com is hosted. Once it looks up the address in DNS, it can fetch the content.

Of course DNS isn’t just used for looking up the IP address of a website.

As additional services are enabled, it is used for looking up email servers, email delivery options, voice endpoints and more. The entire collection of data associated with a domain in DNS is referred to as the zone of the domain.

DNS is distributed; not everything is in the same phone book. This is by design and allows a great deal of scale on the internet. As such, each domain can have its data on a different server. The server hosting DNS data for a domain is identified by its nameserver.

Related: DNS records — A beginner’s guide

There are additional DNS resolution components

But wait a second … how does the browser know which nameserver to query when looking up example.com? Good question.

First, technically speaking, the web browser doesn’t typically do the lookup. It usually talks to something called a DNS Resolver which actually does the lookup. But this doesn’t change the core question; it just changes the wording. How does the resolver know which nameserver to query when looking up example.com?

Key to this is something called the root server. The root server for a top-level domain (TLD) is established at a well-known location. Coming back to our example of example.com, a DNS query is first performed to the rootserver for “.com” to find the location of the nameserver for example.com. Once this is determined, the resolver can query the nameserver for example.com to find the data it needs.

GoDaddy and domain management

When you buy a domain from GoDaddy (and with most other domain registrars), you are typically given DNS service for free with the domain. You’ll see this as the nameservers (there are always two of them) associated with the domain.

Most domain registrars, including GoDaddy, allow you to change the nameservers to values you select.

There isn’t anything wrong with this. Advanced users often have legitimate reasons to change their nameservers.

However, we believe for the average user that this is not something that should be casually done.

 

Things can easily break when changing the nameserver. And like any application, the service quality will vary from one DNS provider to another.

When managing DNS, things like performance, uptime, security and scalability come into play. What about features and ease of use? And finally, if something goes wrong, is help available to resolve the problem?

We think our DNS is pretty good. After all, we’ve been at it a pretty long time. We run the largest DNS on the planet, distributed around the world. A query is fast no matter where you are located, and our uptime is great.

So performance? Uptime? Scalability? Check.

What about security? Unfortunately with the number of zones on our platform we are often targeted with large scale DDoS (Distributed Denial-of-Service) attacks. We take this very seriously, and have put in place multiple levels of protection to mitigate these. And you can protect your account with multi-factor (including hardware based) authentication.

What about features and ease of use?

GoDaddy DNS supports DNSSEC (this makes your zone more secure), including one-click activation and automatic key rollovers. We are committed to being open, supporting import from and export to the industry-recognized BIND format.

We also think our user experience is simple and intuitive.

DNS and Domain Connect

We also know that customers buy services attached to their domain from multiple companies. So we pioneered the Domain Connect protocol.

Domain Connect makes it easy to set up and configure these services with a simple click, so you don’t need to know the details of the records in the zone in DNS.

 

But we didn’t stop there. While working on DNS and Domain Connect, we open sourced Domain Connect — allowing our partners and competitors to benefit from it as well. It has been adopted by almost 50 companies, including Microsoft, Google, 1&1, Squarespace and more. (Ask yourself the following question: “Does the new nameserver provider support Domain Connect when you buy a second or third service?”)

Additionally, if you need help, GoDaddy’s 24/7 phone support is always a call away and ready to help resolve or fix any problems you have.

We are committed to allowing users to move their nameservers, but want to make sure they do so for the right reasons. DNS is hard; and we’ve taken many steps to make it easy. A lot can go wrong with DNS, and moving your nameserver can be risky if you don’t know what you are doing.

This article was originally published on Jan. 3, 2019, and was updated on Jan. 8, 2020. 

As a small business owner, it can feel like tax deadlines constantly sneak up. Quarterly estimated taxes? Sending 1099s to contractors? Income tax day? It can be all too easy for busy business owners to overlook the tax calendar, missing a due date and facing a penalty.

We’re here to help! Bookmark this post and resolve to never find yourself blindsided by a small business tax calendar deadline.

 

Note: This post assumes that you are a sole-proprietor or small LLC with no employees. If you do have employees, just note you’ll also need to deal with payroll tax and sending out W-2s to your employees. Also, tax obligations can vary from business to business. Always be sure to check with a reputable tax pro if you are unsure what taxes apply to your industry and business.

Calendar Days

January 2020

Jan. 15, 2020: Your quarterly estimated tax payment for Q4 2019 is due on this date. Not sure what to do? Read our guide to quarterly estimated taxes.

Jan. 31, 2020: Today your form 1099-MISC is due to the IRS and to your contractors. Find out how to prepare a 1099-MISC form to send to contractors.

March 2020

March 16, 2020: If your business is set up as an S-corporation or a partnership, your corporate income tax return is due today. Yes, that’s a full month before the deadline for personal income tax returns and returns for businesses that are set up as sole-proprietorships or LLCs! (In 2020, the usual due date, March 15th, falls on a Sunday so you have one extra day to file.)

If your business is a partnership the IRS requires you to file form 1065.

If your business is an S-corp, the IRS requires that you file form 1120-S.

Fittingly, this is also the final day for businesses set up as partnerships or S-corps to request a six-month tax extension. Find out more about requesting a tax filing extension here.

Pro tip: Keep in mind that an extension allows you extra time to file, but does not extend the time you have to actually pay your income tax.

IRS Form 7004
Image: IRS Form 7004

April 2020

April 15, 2020: Aka “Income Tax Day.” If your business is a sole-proprietorship or LLC, your income taxes are due today. File your Form 1040, 1040-A or 1040-EZ today, and pay any additional taxes you might owe that you didn’t pay in quarterly estimated taxes.

If your business is set up as a C-corporation your income tax is also due today. The IRS requires that you file Form 1120.

Q1 2020 quarterly estimated taxes are also due on April 15.

And last but not least, today is also the final day to request a six-month tax extension on your time to file your income tax return.

June 2020

June 15, 2020: Today is the deadline to pay Q2 2020 quarterly estimated taxes.

September 2020

Sept. 15, 2020: Today is the deadline to pay Q3 2020 quarterly estimated taxes.

This is also the income tax filing deadline for partnerships and S-corps that requested a six-month income tax filing extension.

October 2020

Oct. 15, 2020: This is the last day for everyone who files business sales tax as an individual (sole proprietorships, LLCs, etc.) and C-corps that requested a six-month tax filing extension to file income tax.

January 2021

Jan. 15, 2021: Today is the deadline to pay Q4 2020 quarterly estimated taxes.

What about the state and local tax calendar?

Most businesses are required to pay income tax not just to the federal government, but to the state, too. Depending on your location, some businesses are even required to remit taxes to local areas such as cities and counties. How and when to pay taxes generally falls along the same tax calendar as federal taxes, but can vary by state. That’s why we recommend contacting your state’s taxing authority for more info. You can generally find this by searching “your state” + “Department of Revenue.”

Cakes every child can love at Miami vegan bakery Bunnie Cakes

A child’s birthday celebration is a precious, annual milestone for kids and parents alike, and the right cake is essential to make it a successBut for Miami resident and mother of five Mariana Cortez, it wasn’t as simple as popping by her local bakery. “My son had an allergy to dairy and gluten since birth,” she explains. 

When I started searching for places to make the cake for him, nobody knew what I was talking about. 

SMariana did what any responsible parent would do — she started a vegan bakery out of her kitchen calleBunnie Cakes. “I don’t know how I came up with that name.” she laughs, “but I thought it sounded cute.”  

Not that she wasn’t busy or anythingMariana had a full-time job outside of the house as well as the full-time job of parenting, so she had to bake at nightoften until 2:00 in the morningadapting her grandmother’s recipes into vegan and gluten-free varieties. 

Then it was hustle, hustle, hustle: “During my lunch hour, I would go to restaurants with samples of my mini cupcakes and I found a couple of restaurants that were interested.” 

Now it was time to go legit, so she went to GoDaddy and found the perfect domain. “Luckily www.bunniecakes.com was availableI created my own website on my laptop and took a couple of pictures of the cupcakes I was baking.”  

Delicious flavors like red velvet, very vanilla, and triple chocolate immediately got Miami taking to Bunnie Cakes like sprinkles to icing. Within a few months Mariana’s side hustle blossomed into a thriving business, supplying over ten restaurants each week with her creations, but there was a limit to what she could do on her own: 

“The same day that I delivered Amelie, my third child, I baked and decorated more than 200 cupcakes with my mom!” 

She staffed up, secured financial support from her family, and built out a bakery and retail space. After opening in early 2013, Mariana won a place as a contestant on Cupcake Wars, placing second and providing tremendous visibility for the business that has paid off big. 

When they moved into a bigger facility in 2017 — with a lovely decorative spirit that captures the joy and fun of Bunnie Cakes — Mariana started offering activities like cupcake decorating workshops, as well as space for folks to throw birthday parties for their kids.  

Nowadays you can find Bunnie Cakes in Whole Foods Markets across Miami-Dade county, at the Miami Vegan and Gluten-Free Market, and even at Starbucks — the first time the coffee mega-chain has sold vegan and gluten-free baked goods. 

In addition, Bunnie Cakes has snagged a number of awards, including Best Vegan Bakery in Miami, Best Cupcake in Miami, #2 Best Bakery in Miami in TripAdvisor for three years in a row. Plus they’re slated to open a new store by the end of the year to complement their flagship Wynwood location.  

With all this success, keeping a sense of perspective is essential for Mariana, and she looks to those who were the reason she started Bunnie Cakes in the first place: What inspires me the most and gives me energy to continue are my kids. I see my business as a part of who we are, and we’re a big family working for the same goal. That makes me happy.”

Founder and CEO of Nextrade Group Dr. Kati Suominen runs a Los Angeles-based data and analytics company that enables world trade through technology. She also serves as an adjunct fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) in Washington, where she co-founded the Digital Trade program.

In addition, she’s also an adjunct professor at the UCLA Anderson School, where she teaches MBA courses on international business economics and the economics of global digital disruption.

We sat down with Dr. Suominen to find out what makes her who she is — from where she grew up to her favorite ice cream. Here’s what we discovered, including, among other things, that she’s one awesome tennis player.

20 questions with Nextrade Group Founder Dr. Kati Suominen

This interview has been gently edited for length and clarity.

1. What’s your favorite color?

Blue, yellow, white.

2. What’s your favorite ice cream flavor?

I am not a foodie and have probably one ice cream a year if that. But that said, triple chocolate from Grom, an Italian gelateria, is a winner.

Scoop Of Gelato From Gelateria Grom

3. What’s the first and last app you check every day?

Are the Wall Street Journal or New York Times apps?

4. What brings out uncontrollable passion in you?

Ideating, innovating, conceptualizing, creating. Sitting down with my yellow pad and ideating and thinking.

Finding a big story in data.

 

Seeing insight sink in — seeing people learn and “get it,” whether in a classroom or tennis court.

Witnessing athletic feats and great careers — think of watching Roger Federer or Presidential Medal of Freedom awards.

5. Where were you born and raised? Give us some context of who you are and what made you who you have become.

Tampere, Finland, a beautiful city between two lakes and rapids running through it.

Tampere Finland City Center

6. What prompted you to move to the United States?

I got a full tennis scholarship at a Division I team at the University of Arkansas, Little Rock, so I moved to the U.S. after high school to play more and study.

7. How did you start writing not one but 10 books?

Mostly, out of frustration with the status quo and to teach myself about topics that seemed to have wide-ranging implications for economies and businesses. To inspire people to see the world as a better place with great opportunities.

8. If you started over in life, what would you be when you grew up?

Dr. Kati Suominen Playing Tennis

I would be a professional tennis player. I don’t think we ever “grow up,” though. We evolve throughout our lives — to our highest version if we intentionally work on it and observe ourselves, our emotions and reactions, and our world, and learn.

9. What’s the best thing about the work you do?

It is rigorous, relevant and highly creative — focused on not what is, but what is coming and what should be.

I am blessed with fantastic and committed colleagues and clients and often feel we are all on a great mission together.

Note: Take a look at Dr. Suominen’s latest speaking gig, which was at the World Trade Symposium on how blockchain, AI, ecommerce and next-generation event-based payments will power world trade and interoperability among players in the trade ecosystem.

10. What do you wish you had more of?

Proprietary data, on so many things.

11. What do you wish you had less of?

Robocalls.

14. What can’t you live without?

Great exercise, the Pacific Ocean, meditation and visualization, strolls on the beach and around the neighborhood under the stars. I may be able to exist, but not live without, sun and coffee.

15. If there is one thing you could have to enable you to thrive globally at your company, what would it be?

More proprietary data on more things.

Note: We can only imagine what could come out of this if Dr. Suominen had more proprietary data. In her new book she writes:

Disruptive technologies — 3D printing, ecommerce, blockchain, AI, 5G, and so on — are quietly revolutionizing the economics of global production and trade.

They are empowering businesses of all sizes to cut costs and make, move, and market products and services worldwide with greater ease than ever before.

They are encouraging millions of solo entrepreneurs to grow into multinational sellers.

They are enabling consumers and companies to access and choose from a global catalogue of products and services.

They are slashing the costs companies have paid to intermediaries such as banks, freight forwarders, customs brokers, trade lawyers, and shipping lines, by automating and accelerating the flow of goods from door to door and payments from bank to bank, and by digitizing the piles of documents, data, and information that accompany the billions of trade transactions that crisscross the planet each year.

They are helping us close in on the Holy Grail of world trade: seamless integration and automation of the informational, financial, and physical supply chains that undergird trade transactions.

The best part: the emerging technologies change the possibilities of trade to do good — to reignite productivity growth of economies, raise incomes, and empower people around the world to realize their full economic potential.

16. Does your website help you obtain new speaking, book or business opportunities?

Not really… this is still a very relationship-based business and I am an idea person — idea people at the end of the day sell ideas in person.

17. What’s the coolest trend you see coming around the corner for your business that everyone should be looking at?

Ha, nice try! You’ll see it when we’re already acting on that trend.

18. What do you eat for breakfast that fuels your day?

Triple espresso, coffee, green tea, berries, an apple, kombucha, nuts, eggs and tortillas.

19. How do your friends keep you at your best?

They help me see the world beyond my work and see me beyond my work.

20. What lesson did your mom or dad teach you?

Work hard and do everything properly.

Turning it up to 11 – Barber Mindi Breen dials up the man-glam experience

Rock and roll has saved a lot of lives, but it hasn’t inspired a lot of barbershops — until now. Living in Phoenix, Mindi Breen spent years cutting hair for other salons before wondering if there was a better way. “There were plenty of days where I was like, ‘I’m dreading walking through that door.’” She shivers and laughs. “And I thought, ‘What would make me wanna walk through that door?’”

Inspired by the aesthetics of Kiss, Van Halen, and other rock gods of old, she imagined a salon that catered to men yet also offered the level of care associated with those for women. “I knew there were men out there who did want those things — they just want to feel like they’re in a masculine place.”

With that focused vision she opened her salon, Wolf Howl Honey, named after a line from a song by 80s pop metal gods Whitesnake.

Situated in a historic hotel that’s been converted into spaces for artists and entrepreneurs, Wolf Howl Honey channels the essence of rock into a salon environment. When we stop by, Zeppelin booms from the speakers and the walls are adorned with the trappings of old-school masculinity — a framed portrait of Dirty Harry, a plaster Panther, and a hanging sculpture of the Rolling Stones’ lip-and-tongue logo.

As Mindi gives a client and cut and a facial, she reflects on her approach with her typical shot-of-Fireball demeanor. “Bring your kids to me. Bring your brother to me. Come here when you’re getting married.” She laughs. “Come here when you die.”

While she initially leaned on her existing client base, Mindi knew she had to turn up the volume on awareness so folks knew about Wolf Howl Honey. Using Websites + Marketing from GoDaddy, she created a modern site with a picture gallery showing off her work and the salon’s décor, alongside tools that make it easy to schedule appointments online so she can keep the focus on client care.

In addition, the site showcases her line of apothecary products, from beard oil to body powders.

“Selling on the web,” she says, “gives me access to a lot more people than with just brick-and-mortar — plus, I’m open 24/7.”

Engaging with the local online style community is also essential, and the site helps her connect. “Instagram plays a huge role for me because we have so much access to new music, pop culture, and fans who can find me when I show off Wolf Howl Honey.”

Near the end of our visit, Mindi takes us out back to her vintage silver Gulfstream, which she hopes to trick out so it can one day be the home of Wolf Howl Honey. “I want a truly expansive space,” she says, spreading her arms, “so people can easily find their products, get beautiful, get handsome, get on their way.”

Her advice to the entrepreneurs in the audience is simple — don’t give up. “The hardest part is working through your fears, your lack of confidence, and your anxiety to that point and see things materialize.”

How to build confidence as a new entrepreneur

As an entrepreneur, confidence is everything. But if you’re just starting out, it can be hard to develop it naturally. In this guide, we’ll explore how to build confidence as an entrepreneur, to help you acclimate to your new role with poise and conviction.

How to build confidence (and why it matters)

Entrepreneur confidence is valuable for several reasons (and in a variety of situations).

Confident leaders are better able to persuade investors, clients and partners. They’re generally regarded as more authoritative and trustworthy by their employees, making them more effective as team leaders and managers.

Plus, when you’re confident, you’ll make better decisions, you’ll be more assertive in negotiations, and there’s a good chance you’ll be more likable — which can help you in networking events and personal endeavors alike.

But if you’ve never run a business before, you’re less likely to feel immediately comfortable — and confident — in the role. You may not be sure about your decisions or feel nervous about asserting your opinion since you don’t have decades of experience to back it up.

Fortunately, for new entrepreneurs, a combination of confidence-building exercises and ongoing experience can help you learn how to build the confidence you need.

Related: Navigating the four stages of the entrepreneur journey

13 confidence-building exercises

Try using these confidence builders to feel more comfortable in your role, and sure of yourself in your work, meetings, and other opportunities:

  1. Project confidence: Fake it ‘til you make it.
  2. Admit your failures and let go of small mistakes.
  3. Reflect on and appreciate your past accomplishments.
  4. Celebrate your wins.
  5. Seek ongoing education.
  6. Create (and master) your elevator pitch.
  7. Find a supportive mentor.
  8. Make time for fun.
  9. Get out of your comfort zone.
  10. Recognize self-doubt and learn to overcome it.
  11. Seek feedback.
  12. Get used to rejection.
  13. Use current tech and professional tools.

Not feeling completely confident yet? No worries; we’ll review each exercise in detail to help you get the hang of it.

1. Project confidence: Fake it ‘til you make it

Our brain functions are complex and interesting. We believe that everything we do is rooted in thought, beginning as an idea or emotion and getting translated as action.

But the reverse can also be true.

For example, when you’re happy, you tend to smile; but when you’re feeling neutral or unhappy and you smile, the very act of smiling can actually make you feel happier.

A similar effect can happen with confidence.

 

If you don’t feel sure of yourself, try to project confidence in any way you can:

  • Speak with authority
  • Maintain strong body language
  • Convince yourself that you’re confident

It’s a way to “fake it until you make it.” In time, you can basically trick yourself into believing in yourself.

2. Admit your failures and let go of small mistakes

Nothing wrecks a new entrepreneur’s confidence faster than a mistake, failure, or other missteps in your business.

You failed to meet a deadline, you lost a client, or your financial models aren’t coming to fruition.

If you want to feel more confident, you have to be willing to admit these mistakes, and learn to let them go.

Avoiding the subject, blaming external factors, or dwelling on your own faults can all make your uncertainty worse.

Obviously, there’s no switch to make you instantly feel better about your mistakes, but it helps to know that failure is common even among massively successful entrepreneurs.

The faster you come to terms with the fact that some mistakes are inevitable, the faster you can move on.

3. Reflect on and appreciate your past accomplishments

 Build Confidence Woman Writing In JournalIf you find yourself ruminating on your past failures or mistakes, try to shift the narrative.

Spend more time thinking about the things you’ve done well in the past, whether they were in your current role as entrepreneur and team leader or in a previous career.

This does a few things for you:

  • It helps you recognize the true balance of your past efforts. When you dwell too much on mistakes, you begin to think that you commit more mistakes than successful actions, but this is likely not the case.
  • It can break the chain of rumination, giving you a reason to interrupt your negative thoughts.

Keep a list of the things you’re proud of near your desk or workspace.

4. Celebrate your wins

As an ambitious entrepreneur, you’re likely focused on long-term thinking. You want to grow your business to be massively successful, and you want to grow your personal wealth over a period of decades.

Accordingly, it’s easy to minimize or write off the victories you experience in the moment, compromising your confidence.

If you want to feel better about your capabilities, a good confidence-building exercise is taking the time to celebrate your wins.

 

Whenever you have a success, even a minor one, spend some time acknowledging it and rewarding yourself for it.

This is doubly effective if you’re celebrating wins with your team. Employee recognition is a great way to keep employees motivated, a good opportunity to bond with your team, and a way to build confidence in your entire organization.

5. Seek ongoing education

No matter how much knowledge and experience you acquire, you can always stand to have more.

Commit to ongoing education in multiple different fields if you want to feel more confident in your work.

Attend seminars and workshops to be a better business leader and/or entrepreneur, and attend classes to sharpen the skills relevant to your specific industry.

This will have a short-term effect and long-term effect on building your confidence.

In the short term, you’ll feel good about yourself for spending the extra effort and learning something new. Every time you finish a class or improve a skill, you’ll get to pat yourself on the back.

In the long term, you’ll gradually become better at your job, making you more confident in every task you complete.

6. Create (and master) your elevator pitch

Every entrepreneur needs to have an elevator pitch. Writing and perfecting yours can give you more confidence in a variety of situations.

Essentially, this is a concise pitch that describes your business model to someone who’s never heard of it before.

The name comes from the fact that you should be able to deliver it in the time it takes for an elevator to get to your floor — usually 30 seconds or so.

It’s going to take time to identify and polish the most important pieces of information to deliver in this pitch, and you’ll need to practice it multiple times to get the delivery right.

But when you do, you’ll feel more confident giving the pitch to new investors and new prospects.

7. Find a supportive mentor

Mentorship is sometimes underrated as a conduit for entrepreneurial improvement.

A good mentor will help you perfect your business model, connect you with resources to help you flesh out your business, and give you advice and direction when you’re stuck on a problem.

Mentors can boost your confidence by helping you understand the strengths and weaknesses of your idea.

Simply having someone you can turn to in times of crisis, or when you’re confused, can make your problems seem smaller and make you feel more capable in your own business.

Over time, you’ll get a keener sense for business by working with a mentor, and you’ll start to develop your own perspective and voice.

8. Make time for fun

Build Confidence Swinging In JungleMany new entrepreneurs overcompensate for their lack of confidence by investing everything they have into the business, including all their time.

They work long nights and weekends, hoping that dedicating themselves solely to the business will help them achieve better results. However, this is rarely the outcome.

It’s much better to spend time doing valuable things than to spend more time overall.

 

Plus, if you work too hard, you’ll sharply decrease your productivity, and could eventually burn out.

If you want to feel more confident and boost your productivity at the same time, you have to make time for fun things in life.

Spending time with the people you love, participating in a creative or competitive hobby, and just relaxing can all make you feel better about yourself.

9. Get out of your comfort zone

Similarly, it’s important to break away from the familiar.

New and experienced entrepreneurs alike often find themselves trapped in the same routine, doing the same tasks every day, talking to the same people, and visiting the same networking spots.

This may be comforting in the short term, but in the long term, it can make you feel trapped or unstimulated — even if you don’t realize it.

Fortunately, breaking out of your comfort zone is easy if you do it gradually.

Try working somewhere new, talking to new people, or experimenting with strategies you might not otherwise consider.

The more novelty you have in your life, the more confident and in control you’re going to feel.

10. Recognize self-doubt and learn to overcome it

All entrepreneurs — even the seemingly confident ones — eventually experience self-doubt.

Before making a big decision, they find themselves second-guessing their gut instincts. After a sequence of troubling events, they internally debate whether they’re truly cut out to be an entrepreneur.

We all experience this from time to time.

If you want to improve your confidence, you need to come up with strategies to combat self-doubt.

 

One of the simplest is mindfulness meditation.

There are many meditation practices, and all of them can be effective, but the basic idea is to clear your mind by focusing on the present moment and repeat a mantra or repetitive action.

It takes some practice, but over time you’ll grow more resilient to distracting or negative thoughts.

11. Seek feedback

You shouldn’t base your opinion of yourself on the perspectives of others, but it can be helpful to seek feedback on a regular basis.

Talk to partners, employees, clients and other people in your professional life and ask them for honest feedback about your performance and your approach. You might be surprised at what you hear back.

If your coworkers and colleagues have good things to say about you, it will likely make you feel more confident in your work.

But even the bad things can be valuable; if you find that most people have the same complaint, like that you’re too soft-spoken or that you lose your temper easily, you’ll have a direction for improvement.

Knowing your weaknesses is a strangely powerful confidence builder; it makes you feel in control of your own faults.

12. Get used to rejection

Rejection is an inevitability in the business world.

You’ll have investors refusing to invest in your business, employment candidates unwilling to join your team, and prospects who just don’t want to buy your products.

If you’re not prepared for this, it can devastate your entrepreneur confidence.

 

It’s hard for anyone to simply “get used” to rejection, but the more you face it, the more resilient you’ll become.

Consider intentionally putting yourself in situations where you know you’ll get rejected.

When people politely reject you and there are no long-term consequences, you’ll gradually learn how minor and inconsequential most rejections truly are.

13. Use current tech and professional tools

Finally, make sure you’re using the right tech products and professional tools for your team.

It’s hard to feel confident in your work as an entrepreneur if your software is 10 years old, or if your computer can’t keep up with the rate of your brainstorming mind.

One of the best suites of tools available currently is the combination of Microsoft Office 365 from GoDaddy.

With it, you’ll have access to all the biggest names in professional productivity, including Word, Excel and PowerPoint, as well as some of the most reliable email servers in the world — and 24/7 customer support, so you can be confident that any problem you face can be solved quickly.

It’s also important to remember that nobody can build perfect confidence overnight.

Even knowing how to build confidence, it’s likely going to take weeks, months or even years to feel like you’re a capable and valuable entrepreneur.

Stay consistent in your efforts, learn from your missteps, and remain as patient as possible.

Everything will come to you in time.

Conclusion: How to build confidence

Confidence is an important quality and a powerful tool for any entrepreneur, but when you’re just starting out, it can be hard to exude.

With enough confidence builders and enough time, even the most hesitant or uncertain entrepreneurs can learn to be more confident in themselves, and apply that confidence to the work that matters most.

In addition, make sure you have the right productivity tools for you and your team. With Office 365, GoDaddy support, and other products and services designed to make your life easier, you can get more done and feel good doing it.

Envision, believe and obtain — meet author Gabe Smith

Few of us have had to overcome adversity like Gabe Smith. Growing up in Washington DC, Gabe had to claw his way out of misfortune — and that’s exactly what he did. “I was homeless,” he recalls, “but I envisioned how I wanted my life to be and I started to believe that, you know, I’m gonna obtain that.”

He channeled the hard-earned wisdom gained from living on the streets into a book, The Definition, that, as he puts it, “shows you how I freed myself from the chains of chaos in three steps: envision, believe, and obtain.” Nowadays, he’s a motivational speaker and life coach in his community, often with younger folks who need it most.

Energetic, effusive, and radiating with gratitude, Gabe took us on a walk around his LA neighborhood and discussed the ideas central to The Definition.

“Envisioning,” he says, “is seeing the end result that you want to see. After you envision, you gotta believe that you deserve that end result. You have every tool you need to make it.”

When we arrive at Lafayette Park, he recounts living on the street and finding that spark to envision a way out. “When I was homeless, this is where I came to clear my mind. Writing is a great tool because you could still get it out and it’s a sense of keeping it to yourself but still releasing what you’re feeling.” With little in the way of resources and no workspace to speak of, he wrote the entire first draft of the book on the Memos app of his iPhone.

When it came time to get the book out into the world, Gabe turned to GoDaddy and found simple, effective tools to get online and showcase his work. “I purchased my domain via GoDaddy but what came after changed my life! GoDaddy has single handily changed my life! They’ve literally bought my dreams to reality and showed me I made the right decision to just do it!”

In addition to Websites + Marketing, he also uses the GoDaddy SmartLine app, giving him a second line on his existing phone. “These tools have made a huge difference in customers, readers and fans feeling confident in me as an individual and business overall.”

These days, Gabe works with organizations like Volunteers of America, a nationwide advocate for low-income individuals, to advise those who are in the precarious position he was in not long ago. “I met countless individuals who needed simple advice. As human beings and as men, I never looked down on them, and the experience really boosted my sense of who I am as an individual and my career as a motivational speaker and life coach.”

Gabe is expanding his vision to help others into the realm of performance with plans for a one-man show, “From the Streets to the Cell.” As he works to make the most of these opportunities — created against all odds — he offers the same advice to budding entrepreneurs that he offers to himself:  “Not everyone will share your vision or believe in you. Some may even envy your ambition and the blessings you receive. Cut off anything and anyone not contributing to your progression.”

When are business taxes due and how can you prepare now?

This article was originally published on Aug. 18, 2017, and was updated on Jan. 10, 2019, and Jan. 15, 2020. 

As the expression goes, “nothing is certain but death and taxes.” Everyone knows you have to pay the IRS when you earn an income, but not just individually. Companies, whether giant corporations or sole proprietorships, have to pay taxes — and they have to do it on time. So, when are business taxes due?

When you start a business, one of the things you will have to deal with is deadlines.

 

Your clients will not accept getting what they paid for whenever you get around to finishing it. You set expectations for when your client will receive your goods or services, and you deliver on time. If you don’t, you risk getting a reputation that you are difficult to deal with, and will likely leave your client in a bad spot.

The same holds true for taxes.

There are certain deadlines you need to meet for federal taxes, and there are fines and penalties you could be charged if you don’t. Let’s take a look at some of the income tax due dates you might need to know as a business owner.

When are business taxes due for different types of companies?

To get an idea of what payments are collected by the IRS from businesses on a month-to-month basis, take a look at its tax calendar. Then, start to determine what you might personally owe and when based on the type of business you own.

1. Sole proprietorship

If you are working independently and have not been set up as an LLC with the IRS, you are a sole proprietor. Your income taxes will be designated on Schedule C of your individual Form 1040, and your self-employment taxes will be calculated on Schedule SE (see this guide for more on self-employment taxes). In addition to filing your income tax return, you might need to pay estimated quarterly payments.

So, when are business taxes due for sole proprietors?

Here are the important dates you need to keep in mind as the sole proprietor of your business:

  • April 15: Your individual 1040 is due, which includes your income taxes for the previous year. If you pay estimated taxes for the current year, the first installment will also need to be paid at this time.
  • June 15: The second installment payment of estimated taxes is due.
  • September 15: The third installment of estimated taxes is due. In addition, if you filed an extension for your 1040, the final return for the year is due.
  • January 15: The final installment of your estimated taxes is due.

2. Partnership

If you are co-owner of a business with someone else, you need to file Form 1065 to report your taxes. This return is due on March 16. Both partners will need to keep a copy of Schedule K-1, which shows each person’s share of the income and which items are reported on his or her individual return. Keep in mind that estimated taxes are not paid by the business itself, but by both partners independently.

3. Limited Liability Company (LLC)

If you are working on your own and have registered as a Limited Liability Company with the IRS, your income and expenses will be recorded on Schedule C of your individual 1040, and your self-employment taxes will be calculated on Schedule SE, just as they would be for a sole proprietor.

The return is due April 15, and your quarterly estimated tax payments must be submitted by April 15, June 15, September 15 and January 15 for the current year.

Related: Know your business entity options

4. Corporation

The due dates for corporate tax returns differ depending on whether you have an S corporation or a C corporation, and they will require different forms (1120S  and 1120, respectively).

The deadlines to meet when running a corporation are below:

  • March 16: S corporation tax return is due
  • April 15: C corporation tax return is due
  • April 15: First installment of estimated taxes due
  • June 15: Second installment of estimated taxes
  • September 15: Third installment of estimated taxes
  • December 15: Fourth installment of estimated taxes

Why is there a difference between when business taxes are due for an S corporation and a C corporation? Most likely, this is because, like a partnership return, a K-1 form needs to be sent to the shareholders of an S corporation to include in their personal tax return.

Common mistakes when filing business taxes

Now that you know when business taxes are due, it’s important to learn how to submit them correctly so you avoid penalties. There are a few common mistakes businesses sometimes make when trying to meet filing deadlines and preparing for tax returns. These include:

Not including all forms: Make sure that when you send in your tax forms, you include all of the related forms and schedules. If you don’t, you could face late-filing penalties.

Not talking to your accountant early enough: Trying to throw together a return in a week or few days could lead to costly mistakes.

Not reviewing all the figures before filing: A mistake could lead to penalties, additional taxes (due to deductions being missed), or a time-consuming audit.

Not filing an extension: An extension will give you additional time to get everything done correctly. Keep in mind, however, that you will still have to pay any taxes that were owed on the original return due date, even if you file an extension.

Not reviewing last year’s return: This can act as a guide for all the information you need in the current year.

Planning for tax due dates

Below are some simple ways to plan ahead for your tax due dates so you do not disrupt the flow of your business’s operations when deadlines hit:

  1. Know when the dates for filing taxes are due. Noting the due dates for the year in advance will help you set a schedule. Mark them on your calendar and formulate a plan for making sure you are ready when they come around.
  2. Complete bank reconciliations. While this might sound strange, ensuring your reconciliations are complete before the due dates will keep your accounting records up to date and all items of income and potential deductions recorded for when you need to know them. Here are a few tips to make sure your financials are ready for year-end.
  3. Set up a meeting in December with your accountant. This will allow you to create a plan of attack and give you and your accountant a chance to discuss potential problem areas.

Knowing when business taxes are due is an important step in being proactive about planning your returns and payments. Talk to your CPA about the deadlines for your type of company and formulate a schedule so you consistently file everything on time.

If you are a fan of a combination blue and pink mix, then this website is an excellent example of how the two can work well together. Blue websites are sometimes hard to match with a second color, but the designers behind Lobster did a great job.

Skyboat

In this example, blue comes in play for a more business-oriented site. As the design could not be done by just using blue, we also see black being added, and it looks great!

Marqeta

Financial websites like to use blues as this color implies credibility and trust. Because Margeta is offering a different kind of service for consumer credit, its use of sky blue is also different from typical branding. It uses dark blue, purple, and cyan for the color scheme.

Recess

Combining different shades of color is typically the idea in blue websites. This one brings a calm and dreamy vibe.

Awink

The monotone color, together with different hues of blue, makes this website a visually appealing one. We also like its broader, darker accents with the dark and light screen areas that play an optical illusion.

This makes you think you see more colors than there are there in reality.

Cher Ami

This beautiful color scheme brings a royal, elegant look by using deep blue and gold shades. The result is like the other blue websites we have shown, but with a modern twist.

It uses it to deliver a powerful visual experience and immediately positions the brand as a top player.

Julian Damy

To achieve a sophisticated look, the creators of this website used deep blue tones together with gold highlights. The result? A great color palette inspired by art history that looks timeless and beautiful.

Appbot

The colors used in Appbot match the idea of the brand. We can see powerful combinations of blue together with white.

Andris Gauracs

Blue websites are also great to be used as portfolios. This one belongs to a developer, and we can instantly see how the blue demonstrates reliability and trust. The colors that were used for it are:

  • Tufts Blue
  • French Sky Blue
  • Alice Blue
  • White Copper

Shibui

When you see this blue website, you will be impressed by its clean look. A great way to obtain the same effect is by using gradients. The site’s palette is made of fresh blue and turquoise colors. They bring a calming and relaxing effect.

Groove

The palette on this site was done using blue, white, and black. Although in the world of designing, it is a primary color scheme when it is arranged the way it is on the site, the result is a professional look.

Creddy

This is a classic combination using red and blue to create this fresh website design.

Securinvest

Another new and colorful example of how blue sites can look great while adding other elements as well.

This is an excellent site that uses simple, bold colors to bring attention to its design.

Finishing off our blue websites showcase, we can see the minimalist trend utilized by this website was done by using solid colors against a black background.
