Carnival of Business and Entrepreneurship #20: Welcome to the 20th edition of the Carnival of Business and Entrepreneurship. We have selected 28 posts for this edition.

Keys to an Effective Idea Journal: Probably my most valuable possession as a blogger is my idea notebook/journal. Because I maintain two blogs of my own and I write on a regular basis for a few other blogs, post ideas are priceless. Without a constant flow of ideas the results of my writing would suffer and my income would drop. I know just about every blogger out there faces the same issue of constantly pumping out ideas for new posts.

The Fine Art of Refining Ideas: Creative individuals have plenty of ideas. Great big, earth-changing ideas. Unfortunately, not many of them ever evolve into anything fruitful. Why? Because having an idea is only half the battle. The real challenge is refining the idea into something more than a vapor of your imagination.

Basic Social Media Tips For Location Independent Professionals & Nomadic Web Workers: Running a business online for the past 15 months whilst moving around from country to country every couple of months, means we’ve had to get pretty smart, pretty fast about how to network online, market ourselves online and generate ongoing new business online.

16 Ways to Keep A Razor- Sharp Focus at Work: Focus is something of a novelty these days. We’ve got cellphones for texting and calls, IM, Twitter, Email, RSS feeds, Facebook, Myspace… the list goes on and on. If you don’t have ADD before you start working online, it seems it’s almost inevitable thanks to these inputs. If you’re a web worker who uses the Internet for the majority of the day, you’re especially at risk for losing focus.

"I would rather be ashes than dust!

I would rather that my ashes should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot.

I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of a man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. I shall use my time." -- Jack London

Are you completely satisfied with everything about YOU? Learning how to take those things that you don't like about yourself and get them to work in your favor is what separates the remarkable from the miserable. I'm definitely sure that remarkable sounds more enjoyable.

When I was in my early teens I had a serious weight issue. This weight problem led me to eating all types of food. I ate anything I could get my hands on. I drank shakes and protein drinks and I never could seem to gain weight. This embarrassment of being the "skinny" kid kept me from a lot of things. It also caused me to develop some deep-rooted insecurities. That was until something remarkable happened!

Are you ready for this incredible discovery? Are you ready to take them and use them for yourself?

Accept who YOU are
I didn’t care what people thought about me. Neither should YOU. I completely accepted everything about me.

Stop being around negativity
I was infected with negativity. Breaking away was tough, but when I begin to look at things from a more positive perspective my whole world changed. Getting rid of negativity talk and thinking allowed me to see everything around me different.

Stop forcing EVERYTHING
We have been programmed to pursue and conquer. Nothing should stand in your way. It they don't like you, make them like you. If they don't like your ideas make them like your ideas. If they don't want to build a relationship, then force it.

However, when I finally let go and began thinking more strategically about my ideas, self-etc., instead of pushing I was invited, instead of selling I was pursued. Learning to wait can be extremely hard lesson to embrace, but when you reach your destination it sure is far more rewarding.

YOU will be surprised of what will take place when you begin walking in your shoes instead of someone else's.

Go be YOU today! Don't be a clone, be YOU! Don't be an echo, be a voice!

Carnival of Business and Entrepreneurship #19: Welcome to the 19th edition of the Carnival of Business and Entrepreneurship. We have selected 21 posts for this edition.

Six Great Ways to Ruin a Brainstorm: A well-run brainstorm is fun and energetic. It will generate plenty of good ideas. But a poor brainstorm can be frustrating and demotivational.

How to Manage Your Time Effectively: There is a lot of stuff competing for your time. You need to determine which will receive your attention. Not all tasks and needs are equal and part of your job is to determine those that are most important and demand your attention first.

Health Insurance for Freelancers: So you’re sick of the cubicle, middle management and 9-5 hours. You dream of quitting and freelancing full time but there’s one thing holding you back: the company health plan. This is by the far the most common reason I hear from Americans on why they won’t quit the full-time job.

Standing versus Seating: Almost two months ago, I decided that I wanted to try working standing up, rather than sitting down. When sitting in my comfortable, reclining office chair, my posture was terrible, my attention span was narrowing rapidly, and I was constantly battling fatigue. After looking around online a bit, it sounded like standing was the way to go.
