Our Entrepreneur Blog has the Entrepreneurship Tips and How Tos you’re looking for so you can start thinking like an entrepreneur, too!
Napoleon Hill famously said “Don’t wait. The time will never be just right. Start where you stand, and work whatever tools you may have at your command and better tools will be found as you go along.”
Here at the Bay Area Mastermind, you’ve found one of those “better tools” he was talking about.
We are fellow founders, entrepreneurs and small business owners sharing our successes and failures, leveraging what works best, sharing business tips, celebrating each other, and supporting each other. We shortcut the learning curve – and eliminate the steep learning curve – by sharing business ideas with other entrepreneurs.
The Tips and How Tos below apply to first time online businesses and the serial entrepreneur alike. The commonality? You’re looking for business growth, you’ve read entrepreneur blogs but you’ve not yet found a entrepreneurship blog to help you succeed.
Entrepreneurship Tips and Stories
If you’re thinking like an entrepreneur, you’ll love our recent Freedom Interviews with successful entrepreneurs who’ve made it. These how tos will show you how to think like a successful entrepreneur, and get your entrepreneur thinking back on track.
Most entrepreneurs start their first business with little more than an idea and a burning why. Somewhere along the way, they become a successful new entrepreneur, but their paths to get there vary vastly.
These founders worked at it every day, each with a spark of a business idea, some with a business plan, others without. They went from aspiring startup founders to full time business owners. They focused on self-improvement and personal development. Some tried content marketing and others personal branding. Some were internet marketing savants while others just focused on honing writing skills.
Each of these stories is based on our first hand interviews with founders to learn how they built their business, discover their entrepreneurship tips, and shortcut to the how tos of business success.
Follow along their entrepreneurial journey and see how they went from aspiring entrepreneur to small business owner to entrepreneurial success!

Business How Tos from the Bay Area Mastermind
Our Peer Advisory Groups help businesses just like yours navigate the How Tos of business!
“The Bay Area Mastermind has been a great experience for me as a current member. The group has provided me with invaluable insights into various business operations and helped me to gain a better perspective on working on my business, rather than in it.
One of the things I appreciate most about the group is the diverse range of businesses that get shared and covered. This has enabled me to gain a broad understanding of different industries and has provided me with the tools to develop and grow my own business.
Furthermore, the other members of the group have been a valuable asset. Everyone brings their own unique perspectives and experiences, which have helped me to gain new insights and ideas. Jeremy, the leader of the group, has done an incredible job of keeping us challenged and encouraged, ensuring that we continue to grow and develop.
I highly recommend Bay Area Mastermind to anyone who is looking for a supportive and challenging group of like-minded business owners. The group has been a tremendous asset to me, and I’m confident that others will find it just as valuable.”
