Become and apprentice - Rule 1

Martha is right about one more thing yet again!. On her books she explains how important it is to learn maybe just about everything from your mentor. Do you agree? Maybe not exactly everything but mentors are to help you reach a goal, make a change or solve a problem. We all need mentors at one point. School, College, Tax Advisors, etc.


When you are truly committed to your goals, curious to learn, and eager to work hard, great mentors will be pleased to share what they know. I think of mentors in a broad sense. The late Julia Child, for example, was generous and important mentor to me, although I did not get to know her personally until I already was a published author. I had devoured her cookbooks long before I met her; I taught myself the art of French cuisine by systematically preparing every single one of her recipes in volumes one and two of Mastering the Art of French Cooking. I personally mastered the classics of French cuisine - pate feuilletee, baguettes, creme, anglaise, coq au vin - from the pages of her books, and those recipes became the basis for my deep interest in all good food and recipes from around the world. I found that I could truly consider her a mentor, teacher , a guide, even thought I did not talk to her, because she reached me clearly and thoroughly through her excellent recipes and instructions.

In my lifelong love affair with gardening, I have had many mentors. My first was my father, who loved growing tomatoes and other wonderful fresh vegetables and flowers in the two-level garden that he built in our backyard. As his apprentice - I started when I was about 3 - I was charged with removing weeds from the cracks in the cobblestone path with a flathead screwdriver.

Martha's Stewart Tip:

In my business life, I have met many brilliant entrepreneurs from whom I have collected many ideas and new perspectives. Learn from all you can from your mentors. Try to work alongside them. Their passion will amplify your passion. The concept of an apprentice is an ancient and wise one, and if you can find such a position early in your career and have the chance to work with a master, take it! The enthusiasm, deep understanding, and endless curiosity of a true expert will infect you, whether you are simply trying to reinforce your own knowledge about a hobby or interest, or whether you are figuring out the kind of entrepreneur you want to become.

Search Until You Find Your Passion - Rule 1

Martha Stewart explains in Chapter 2 what passion has to do with your business. It makes total sense and when I coached my clients on this subject, it made total sense to them as well. I want you to learn a very important point here and I'll let Martha explain why? It is not uncommon to try a number of different things before your passion becomes clear. Experimentation is the only way to figure it out.

What is passion?

You may already know your life's calling as surely you know your eye color or your favorite flavor of ice cream. Perhaps you have envisioned yourself running your own ski school or designing a line of fine paper products for so long it already seems real.

You are just trying to find out how to get going, how to transform your dream into a business. You may feel a burning desire to start something and run something, but you are not sure what that something is. Business schools are filled with people who feel this way, people putting together the tools to hit the ground running as soon as they figure out where they want to go. It is great to love one's work.

Doing work that you enjoy gives you energy. You are imbued with enthusiasm. Your senses seem sharper. You wake up with new ideas every day and with solutions to conquer the challenges that cropped up the day before. You are always confident that goals are attainable, that creativity and ingenuity and hard work and passion for the work will make "it" all come together. This "passion" for one's work is just like an all-consuming love affair - something that all of us crave to experience but encounter only once or twice in a lifetime if we are lucky.

Martha's Suggestion: Build your business success around something that you love - something that is inherently and endlessly interesting to you.

Martha Stewart - Quick Review

Quick Introduction - Martha Stewart Rules Book

This book is something that you might want

to read if you are thinking of starting a business.

You might know who Martha Stewart is and if

you don't. Do me a favor and search on google

or any search engine for Martha Stewart. She

has been in business for many years and her

knowledge in business is just amazing. She

will give you an honest opinion and feedback.

I got her book not just too long ago and I think

its just interesting the stories she shared

in this book and the advise she gives you.

In the beginning she tells the story for 2

ladies she met at a concentration camp.

These 2 ladies shared with Martha their

business dream of owning a hair salon.

Although these 2 ladies had no idea how

and where to start and they have never

been in business before they both had the

same dream. It's okay to have a business

idea. Their idea was just too big and complex.

Let me explain what Martha says in the book.

Martha Stewart: I studied the plans. They

wanted to create and operate a unisex hair

salon combined with a cafe, salad bar, and

soul food restaurant in a warehouse district

of a large southern city.

Martha's Stewart Feedback: Expressing my concern
that their was too ambitious, too old-fashioned,
I explained that in New York and other metro-
politan areas, hair salons were chic havens for
beauty, health, personal care, skin care and
nail care.

Martha's Stewart Solution: I encourage them to divide
the business in two: a restaurant, and a hair
salon that catered to male and female customers.
Martha also suggested for them to read fashion
magazines and also which
books to gather to do their research.

This is my short review but more to come.

BigExperts has a study course

Welcome to the BigExperts Blog

Dear Reader,

I would like to give you a brief introduction what
the BigExperts blog is all about. I want to share
my expertise with other people around the world.
As well as learn from other people.

On this blog I will be sharing some of the most
interesting books that I believe should be read
in a marketing or internet business class. I'm
also the creator of what I call http://www.bigexperts.net/.

BigExperts.Net was created on January of 2008 to
assist people with building an internet business
and personal growth. I believe that to start any
business you should also learn how to personally
clear your mind out of stress and live a more
healthy lifestyle. We have some courses that we
have develop and some that are still in the process
of development. These course help you self-improvement
and Time Management. These 2 courses are
amazing and are quick to learn.

My goal is to reach out to the people that are
already in business and need the assistance
in taking that business online. Even if your not
in business but would rather start a business
online. The internet has opened many doors
from relationships to internet businesses
such as Ebay and Yahoo.

Go ahead and take that step to take your business
to the next level!
