Last week, I discussed the power of applying energy management, rather than solely concentrating on time management, to our daily lives and consulting practice. In that article I talked about the first energy quadrant: physical energy. Now I want to cover Quadrant Two. The Second Energy Quadrant: Mental Energy The mental energy quadrant rules our ability to focus [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Energy Management: The Second Quadrant", url: "http://www.warwagonblog.com/featured-articles/energy-management-the-second-quadrant/" });

Entrepreneurs and freelancers often find that there is never enough time to get everything done. We’re stuck wearing all the hats, making all the decisions, putting out all the fires, and frankly if you’re like me, spreading ourselves way too thin across too many projects or clients. I used to think the solution lay in time [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Forget Time Management - ENERGY Management", url: "http://www.warwagonblog.com/featured-articles/forget-time-management-energy-management/" });

It doesn’t matter whether you’re a one-woman or one-man shop or you’re trying to build a large company. There is an alternative to the traditional connundrum: Do I bootstrap it or give up equity to an investor for funds? I attended one of my client’s seminars this past weekend: Christine Comaford-Lynch’s Rules for Renegades Summit.

Ah, the catch 22: how do you get your first client without any past clients to reference? Here’s a couple quick tips: Have you launched any of your own sites?

There is one question I get asked 80% more than all other questions combined. And that’s “How much do I charge for my consulting services?” It’s also one of the toughest questions to answer. A consultant’s rate, or the fees one charges for a project, depend on a number of factors: The perceived value in the [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "On Setting Your Rates", url: "http://www.warwagonblog.com/consulting/on-setting-your-rates/" });

“I can confidently say, this lady will not disappoint.” At first, I was leery of putting our corporate messaging in the hands of an outside consultant. But we simply couldn’t find a full-time employee who had the style and talent we were looking for. I was impressed when Jaime’s resume came across my desk.
