You Are a Mogul

Tech entrepreneur Tiffany Pham, a graduate of Yale and Harvard Business School, is one of the most interesting and important young women in social media. She wrote the code for Mogul, an information-sharing platform for women, and developed it as CEO into an influential media app.

Based largely on her personal journey, with an upbringing that ranged from cosmopolitan Paris to suburban Texas, Pham emphasizes the importance of adaptation and persistence in this guide to pursuing a career, a new business, a lifestyle, or a dream.

Directed primarily at young women, as is the Mogul site, this book zealously promotes a no-barriers vision of opportunities for women who are willing to work hard and professional achievement their priority. "You've got to kill it and over-deliver on every task you are given," she advises. "If you are only willing to work during your office hours, you miss out on opportunities for so many fulfilling endeavors, and the ability to start having an impact now."

This familiar career oriented approach won't work for everyone, but for those who it enables the impossible may be possible.

Selling More Than Honey

from In Business with Bees

"Consider that the equipment you are using is active for only a short time each year. The rest of the time it sits unused not earning you money, but still needing to be paid for. Can you remedy that? Yes. Provide services.

"You can essentially become a packer for other beekeepers who do not have the efficient machines or the extra time that you now do. They bring the honey, the bottles, and labels, and you fill and label for them...

"Another income generator you might consider is custom extracting. You use your equipment and their supers full of honey to put into their pails. This is especially nice for smaller operations that don't have the equipment you do, or for the hobbyists who don't have the time to devote."
