I guess I hadn’t given much thought to the weather.

I heard something about snow coming, but it was far from top of mind as I headed out that Saturday morning for an all-day event at the New England Speaker’s Association.

But when the event began, the first thing out of the meeting organizer’s mouth was, “SNOW! WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE!” (It’s possible I am exaggerating.)

She did say, however, that due to the coming storm, we’d be ending early, at mid-day.

Entrepreneurship is an equally exciting and difficult path. Most people opt for a guaranteed position in a well-established company instead. With the right work ethic and strategies, however, this lifestyle is achievable. Here are four ways to boost your home business productivity.

Use a Scheduling App

Studies have shown that people who use calendars and schedules are more productive. Many entrepreneurs struggle with managing their time efficiently. When working at a company, time is managed for the employees. There are deadlines clearly indicated by employers. This external motivation and scheduling are non-existent for entrepreneurs. Instead, they must take control of their own schedules. Using scheduling apps on your phone or computer is a great way to ensure that each minute of the day is used efficiently. Notifications and reminders can be set as well.

Selling a business is a difficult task. For most business owners, the idea of selling can be the beginning of a never-ending headache. When you are unsure as to where to start and how to go about the process, you are not guaranteeing yourself the best outcome. By following the right steps, you can learn how to sell your business for maximum value, moving on successfully to your next venture. The more prepared you are, the more you can earn with the sale.

Everyone who has any kind of job probably often thinks how great it would be to be their own boss. Right? Whether it is because you would like to choose coworkers on your own, or you think there are some better ways of doing business. Or even because you don't feel like going to work every day. And not to mention that you would probably like to be paid more. If you are in the moving industry, you know that's possible. However, starting a moving business is a challenging task. It requires a lot of hard work, long hours and, at the end of the day, some money. So, you have to be really committed to the idea of succeeding in order to sustain all the missing outs you are going to experience once you become responsible for the success of your business and maybe for other people's jobs.
