Manage Your Time to Reap Bigger Profits – A Freelancers’ Guide

From www.instantshift.com - April 14, 2012 5:11 AM

The difficulty when you're a freelancer, may be the organization of your time. here is an excellent article on the subject which gives many ways to stay on track. [note mg]

Freelancers are those who work from their own comfort zone: be it home or a public café, they can work from any space of their choice. Freelancing, therefore, comes with many advantages, such as flexibility of working space and environment, flexibility of time, and so on. However, many responsibilities come with your decision to freelance.

When you work in an office, everything is arranged for you, including your system and timelines, but when it comes to freelancing you need to handle all these responsibilities. Being a freelancer sounds easy and is tempting along with its striking benefits; but it is not as flowery as it seems.

A Stalker’s Guide to Competitive Research

From www.blueglass.com - February 5, 2012 5:35 AM

Competitive research is an area that’s either completely overlooked by a brand, or taken to an extreme level while missing the basic goals that need to be reached. Because competitive research becomes a cornerstone for strategy development, it’s important to research from inside the trees, and outside of the forest.

What The Hell Is Project Management, Anyway?

From www.fastcompany.com - March 10, 2012 4:55 AM

Project management seems like a classic chicken-and-egg career conundrum: How do you prove you’re adept at managing projects if you haven’t worked as a project manager? Beyond that, what does project management really entail, and how is it different from, you know, being a manager? And what tools do the pros actually use, since there seem to be a new one released every week?

To better understand some of the managerial speak around project management, I spoke with a 20-year veteran of the field, Frank Ryle. He’s worked as an international project manager for Arup International, managed construction and operation of the first Cadbury Schweppes factory in Russia, and now trains and teaches project management. Ryle analogizes project management to a nine-hole golf metaphor in his book, Keeping Score: Project Management for the Pros, available now as an ebook and due out soon in paperback.

In a phone interview, Ryle was, well, frank, honest, and eager to clear the clouds of vagary away from a field he’s worked in for most of his adult life.
