Once upon a story, there was an online friend of mine named Nathan.
He used to run a blog over at NathanHangen.com, where, once upon the same story, I wrote a fantabulous (not to toot my own horn or anything) guest post.
On said blog, Nathan liked to talk a lot about “Empire” building.
He also liked to use testosterone filled words like “Sword” and “Sacrifice” and “Redemption”. (He’s such a dude.)
Nowadays, his blog is no longer up and running, but he kindly agreed to let me re-run that post here on #BGB.
Couldn’t let damn good content go to waste, now could we?
So let’s talk a little about empire building here on #BGB…
Girl style.
I think the whole concept of building a “digital empire” is a worthy goal. As an entrepreneur, why would you want to create anything less than an empire that you hold the reins to?
A virtual “machine” that not only makes you money, but impacts others in a positive way, brings enormous personal satisfaction, and can be molded into something you can pass down to your grandkids if you so choose?
And in the world we live in today, digital is just about the only way a single individual can build something so amazing and far-reaching, that can impact so many people, with nary more than a creative thought, coupled with a few inexpensive tools, readily available to the motivated.
STOP AND THINK ABOUT THAT A MINUTE
Literally the minute I hit publish on this post it is shot out into the mysterious cyberspace… available immediately to the eyes of anyone in the world who happens upon it. And a motivated person can make it happen over and over again with varying degrees of impact.
THAT’S A LOT OF POTENTIAL POWER ONE PERSON CAN WIELD

Business Isn't Built On Hope And Faith
Posted 11th December 2009 at 08:17 PM by k0zm0zs0ul
OK, so just to be clear, I’m a huge believer in faith, the power of positive thinking, and that yes, miracles do happen. So I’m not knocking any of those things, or the power that hope can have in a person’s life and their perceptions of the world. That doesn’t mean I’m going to leave my livelihood up to those things. C’mon, a girl’s gotta eat! And shop, and hang with friends, and go see cool movies and… oh sorry… I get a little carried away at times. 
So, hope is great, but it’s definitely not a business strategy. If you are going into business for yourself, you at the very least need a loose ‘business plan’ with a few key goals outlined in order to see any kind of success. After all, if you don’t have a direction or a purpose, what’s the point? You’re essentially just spinning your wheels, slinging mud, and not going anywhere.
Like most people in Internet marketing, I had no idea what I was doing when I first started out. I had no direction, I had no specific goals, no particular skills to speak of, and basically… no clue what I was doing! I didn’t know what an auto-responder was; I had no idea how to get pre-qualified leads for my business; I didn’t even know how to set up a blog! (Crying shame ain’t it?!)
