Comment by Kaylan about a business plan. There's a great book called "The One Page Business Plan" that is excellent. In fact, you can become certified to teach and coach around it. The emphasis is on getting started quick. I use it with my small bus…

Stuck, but excited about possibilities?

Yesterday, my coach reminded me of something....Activity Breeds Success. The success won't necessarily come from the activity but is drawn to the energy of the activity. Feeling down, just get busy doing something, anything! Call an old client or customer or meet a friend for coffee. Write the introduction for your book. (By the way, checking Facebook 30 times a day doesn't qualify as activity) Let's get busy!

Hi Dan,

Just wanted to let you know I haven't forgotten you. I'm waiting to get some feedback from the staff on how we might get you involved from a public speaking side here at the Indy Chamber. I'll email you details very soon.
Have a great one!

Thanks Dan, I haven't been speaking much for the past few years because I am finishing up my Ph.D., but that will soon be over. I created a new website (www.businessofdoinggood.com) and have already booked a couple of engagements. How are things in Fort Wayne?

A few things to consider before joining Smaller Indiana:
1. Please use your real name (first and last) when you sign up, or we cannot open your account

2. Please do not use logos or commercial images for your profile photo

3. Events should be posted in the events calendar

4. You can post pretty much anything you want on your own personal page (self promotion, etc), and you can change the style of your personal profile page to reflect your corporate identification if you so choose.

5. Please keep all comments civil and polite. It's OK to feel strongly about a subject, and it's OK to be critical of ideas, but please refrain from personal attacks of any kind.

If you witness or experience any issues, please contact admin@smallerindiana.com and we will look into the matter.

6. "Blatant self-promotion" is discouraged on SI, and "spam" is not welcome. Please be considerate of your fellow members.

Smaller Indiana is supported by its members, and by corporate sponsors. If you're interested in learning more about sponsorship, please call Pat Coyle at 317 332 7878.
