Generation-Y startup

This is a post I have been working on for quite a few weeks now and only just concluded that it’s got enough information and ready to be shared. Each day I stumble on myriads of blog posts about how to succeed in business or how start-ups succeed, I rarely see people talking about failure [...]

Many people just know you as the awesome blogger and power woman behind Brazen Careerist, can you let us a little into the world of Miss Trunk?
I like to think that each of us working on the same stuff – figuring out who we are and what we want and how to get it. Those [...]

I was once told that if I can’t explain my company and what it does in a sentence or two at most, then I have no idea what the company does. Ever since then I have tried to fit most of my ideas and soon to be start-up into a sentence and that task is [...]

Is there really a perfect time for one to start a business? I ask myself that question a lot and always seemed to come up with the same answer. I have never had to explain my reasoning until yesterday when this one guy asked me if it was a good time to start a T-shirt [...]

One of my favorite quotes reads: “If you always wait for the perfect conditions, you will never get anything done”. I have always lived my life with these words at the back of my mind. I mean back in college I had no car or lots of cash to spend on lovely dates yet I [...]
