You never really know until you try [monthly update]
I can’t help but feeling that this month was vaguely surreal for me. The first part of the month was fighting to get things under control financially as my student loans are getting out of control. Sitting down with the bills, calling the creditors, trying to reason with them about how I can’t afford to […]

Staying ahead of the curve & saving time while doing it.
One of the things we suffer with as entrepreneurs is information juggling — followed quickly by information overload.

Don’t use a time management method
That’s a click bait title if I’ve ever written one, but it’s something that I firmly believe in. I don’t believe that you should prescribe to any one single time management method, but rather a few so you can craft a method all your own that works for you no matter what life throws at […]

This is My Ship [Monthly Update]
Insanitek is based in Indiana, and this past month we were blind-sided by the Religious Freedom Restoration Act and people’s reaction to it. When I first heard it, I thought, “Well, who does this apply to? Does it apply to me, as an atheist? Am I protected from having to teach creationism in schools because […]
Starting a business with nothing
In line with the them of financing a business of your own making, it’s often useful to look at how to accomplish such a monumental task from absolutely nothing. Some things are obvious, like staying away from debt like it’s a toxic and virulent disease and building a business around what you know, but others […]
Delving deeper into the world of finance options
The last post was just… lame. I mean, seriously, you can find lists like that everywhere on the internet. I had planned to make it up to you guys by delving deeper into the scenarios and talking with people who have been there, done that. After all, if you’re going to finance your company, it’s […]

What are you afraid of?
It’s one thing to say it takes courage and guts to do something, but it’s another to move past it and actually do it. I remember my first business. I sold fresh, homemade bread to the local geriatric that had troubles getting around. The idea was born out of love for an old woman’s stories […]
