Have you ever had a thought and then when you went to jot it down it’s all gone? Well, my thought train moves so quickly it gets pretty hard to keep up, which I why I started using Evernote in the first place.

Start Ups: Do you REALLY need that office space?

2014-08-03T16:37:35+00:00August 3rd, 2014|Sprout Your Business, The Good Stuff|

It’s a really nice impression to have a posh, shiny office, but not all start ups are created equal.

If you’re a start up, do

We’ve all been in that place, that dark dank place, thinking, when should I start this project? Well I’ll answer that for you; the time is NOW.
