Welcome to the weekly bonfire! With yesterday being the release of EntrepreneurOnFire’s 300th episode, we’re pretty fired up, and as a result, we truly hope YOU are fired up as well. …maybe even prepared to ignite?
As usual, it wasn’t that tough to pick out five great articles to share with you this week because there is SO MUCH great content out there! But over the past several weeks I’ve found that something a lot of us have trouble with is actually being able to find it. While there is a ton of great content out there, unfortunately, there is also a ton of bad content. And what’s worse than wasting 5-8 minutes on a post that is poorly written and doesn’t even teach you a lesson or give you valuable tips? Not much.
I truly hope that this isn’t one them.
