Entrepreneurs

by | Ecommerce Inspiration |

If ever there was a real ‘meta-human’, it’s got to be Nick Vujicic. This best-selling author and motivational speaker has overcome suffering that most people couldn’t even imagine, and that’s exactly why we believe in him.

EntrepreneursVujicic was born without limbs. He has never experienced what it’s like to hold his child in his arms or embrace his wife, however through his passion and his zest for life despite all obstacles – he embraces the world.

So I’ve decided to rename it, and your time starts at midnight tonight. If you read this a few weeks later, don’t worry…you simply need to catch up;) But the timeframe and the goal remains the same – make 2015 the year your dreams come true! Sheesh, that sounds cheesy doesn’t it? But I’m rollin’ with it, what’s New Years Eve without a bit of cheese anyway?… Read the full article

by | Ecommerce Inspiration |

Do you remember being 8 or 9 years old and thinking to yourself ‘when I’m 16 I’ll be a grown up’? Only for 16 to come along and instigate the same internal monologue ‘when I’m 20…’ Until suddenly you’re pushing 30 and wondering ‘is this what it feels like?!’ Yeah, I hear ya.

Well, it’s the same for your startup; it’s hard to know exactly when it’s become a full fledged grown up…… Read the full article
