Survinging The Modern Age – Information Overload

February 13, 2013 By Bryan Coe Leave a Comment

There many challenges to being an entrepreneur. One of these challenges is keeping up with everything that’s happening. In today’s world there are so many tools out there to keep up with. There’s email, Twitter, Facebook, Blogs, RSS Feeds, Fourquare, LinkedIn and Google+. Just to name a few.

For entrepreneurs there’s personal branding and company branding. Plus leading your staff, collaborators and coworkers, as well as communicating and managing clients. The list goes on..

For me I’d really have to think about how many email accounts I have and I receive several hundred emails a day. I follow hundreds of people of Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook. Plus, there’s the blogs I read. The only way I can keep some sort of resemblance to keeping up, is to use tools that aggregate some of this for me. Here’s a few of the tools I use.

Hootsuite: For Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook
Netvibes: For Blogs
Apptivo: For client and project management
Pivotal Tracker: For project management

I’d love to hear what tools you use to keep your sanity?

Staying the Course

January 23, 2013 By Bryan Coe 2 Comments

In the middle of one of my usual “jump into the stream swim around and jump out” that I do throughout the day with Twitter. I came across a Tweet from @Fondalo: “Startups Don’t Fail. Founders Quit.”

This really struck cord with me, so I clicked on the link. It post it led me to was about one of the founders of U Connect an online food delivery service. It described how they stayed the course through several potential periods where they wanted to quit.

Really I wish it would have gone into more detail, but I think every entrepreneur has gone through those phases where things looked bleak. Sometimes it’s nothing less than pure will power that keeps you going. It’s something I know that I’ve lived through. The great part is, you realize when things are going well that the struggles were worth it.
