Tips for Starting a Home Business

B. Todd Bailey founded Idaho-based Rise2Pro.com in 2015, which provides resources for home business entrepreneurs. As the company's visionary, B. Todd Bailey works with deliverables and tech-based services, and oversees all aspects of the Idaho enterprise, including recruitment, training, and team leadership.

Many home entrepreneurs start off on the wrong foot, making missteps that lead them to poor habits or failure in the long run. Those who want to avoid these traps should consider these tips:

Setting up a dedicated workspace and keeping a consistent schedule can go a long way. This keeps work organized and reduces the risk of distractions or temptations. Otherwise, family members, errands, and even naps can chip away at productivity.

Getting familiar with business tax laws is also a good idea. Businesses can adopt many different structures, and choosing the right one, with advice from a qualified professional, can help build profits in the long run.

Finally, a little bit of toughness goes a long way. Many businesses fail because their owners face one or two early setbacks and give up. Successful home entrepreneurship requires grit.

Making an Enemy Is a Selling Strategy

Since establishing Rise2Pro.com in Nampa, Idaho, Todd Bailey has been the visionary for its direct sales team. Since moving to Idaho, Todd Bailey has become more interested in the psychology of selling.

Salespeople have traditionally looked for new and better techniques for converting prospects into sales, and a good deal of research has gone into learning what makes people part with their hard-earned cash. According to a study by social psychologist Henri Tajfel, people respond well to being divided into groups and defining another group as an enemy.

While this may sound extreme, it’s not about attacking your competitors, but helping your customers define themselves. Apple used this strategy effectively when it created the Mac vs. PC campaign. A clothing company may try to indicate that it is strictly for athletes, and while this may discourage some consumers from buying its apparel, others may like the distinction and take the opportunity to define themselves by their purchase.

he Beginnings of Trout Unlimited

Though a resident of Idaho, Todd Bailey is a principal of Fortress Risk Management LLC in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Todd Bailey enjoys fishing in Idaho and donates to Trout Unlimited (TU), the national fish conservation organization.

United by their love of trout fishing, 16 anglers founded TU while meeting at George Griffith’s house near Grayling, Michigan, on the banks of the Au Sable River in 1959. Their primary concern was that the state was stocking its waterways with small hatchery fish that they called “cookie cutter trout.”

TU’s founders were convinced that Michigan’s trout streams could produce better fish naturally if the wild species were allowed to develop naturally. Led by the principle that if you “take care of the fish, . . . the . . . [fish] will take care of . . . [themselves],” TU took a science-based approach to the protection and preservation of healthy habitats for Michigan’s trout populations.

By 1963, TU had produced its initial policy statement and convinced the Michigan Department of Natural Resources to reduce its stocking program in favor of improving the natural habitat for wild trout.

A Look at Facebook Live

Idaho resident Todd Bailey leverages over a decade of entrepreneurial and consulting experience as the principal of Fortress Risk Management and Stronghold Risk Management, both risk management and captive insurance firms. In addition, Todd Bailey founded Idaho-based Rise2Pro.com.

When a waterfowl habitat is at risk, DU may acquire the land to restore it and put conservation easements in place, thus preserving the resource for future generations. Easements place restrictions on the land to protect it. DU also employs revolving lands strategy when land with degraded habitats is placed on the market. The organization purchases the land, restores it, and puts easements in place for perpetual conservation.

Dealing with the Fear of Social Media Self-Promotion

A resident of Idaho, Todd Bailey studied at Brigham Young University, where he earned a master’s degree in accounting and a JD. Todd Bailey is the founder of Rise2Pro.com, which is based in Nampa, Idaho. This company works with small businesses and entrepreneurs to help build brand awareness and create effective social media marketing campaigns. One of the biggest hurdles that clients must sometimes overcome is a fear of online self-promotion.

Social media remains an incredible marketing tool since it provides an opportunity for reaching hundreds of thousands of people with the push of a few buttons. At the same time, putting information out there can leave entrepreneurs feeling vulnerable and worried about judgment or even rejection. Fear can keep people from using the tools they need to succeed, but these individuals can overcome fear by identifying its source. Some individuals may actually fear success, while others may be more focused on the possibility of failure. Naming the source of fear is the first step in overcoming it.

In the realm of marketing-based social media, entrepreneurs can overcome their fear with education. Understanding how these tools work removes much of the anxiety about creating a strategy. Rise2Pro offers a thorough social media training course that provides checklists, guides, and even templates and scripts for getting started.

The Three Basic Types of Flies for Fly Fishing

An experienced insurance professional and business owner in Colorado Springs, Colorado, B. Todd Bailey serves as principal of both Fortress Risk Management and Stronghold Risk Management. He also serves as the founder of Rise2Pro.com. When he isn’t working, B. Todd Bailey enjoys fly fishing at locations throughout the American West.

Fly fishing is a challenging sport, but it can be made more enjoyable by choosing the correct fly.

Of the tree basic types of flies, the dry fly delivers the most exciting fishing experience. Because it floats on top of the water, fish have to come to the surface to attack it. This typically gives fishermen a clear view as fish enter shallow water or even break the surface with a jump.

The nymph, by comparison, sits below the water’s surface where certain types of fish, such as trout, do most of their feeding. Although less dramatic than the dry fly, the nymph is far more productive when it comes to landing fish.

The last major type of fly, the streamer, is a particularly fun fly to use because it requires a great deal of action on the fisherman’s part. Streamers are designed to react as fishermen pull them in a series of shorter and longer jerks. This motion mimics the erratic movements that a live insect would make when traveling through the water.

How Minimalism Can Be Applied to One's Lifestyle

B. Todd Bailey is a manager at Fortress Risk Management LLC, based in Cheyenne, Wyoming. B. Todd Bailey recently became a representative for Ariix, a health and nutrition wellness company.

In its latest company blog update, Ariix discusses minimalism, a philosophy that upholds the belief that less is more. The philosophy has recently gained ground, especially in social media. However, minimalism is more than just a trending topic on Twitter. Throughout the course of history, many people have embraced this form of lifestyle, including great men such as Leonardo da Vinci and Joseph Brotherton.

There are many ways that minimalism can be applied to one's life, such as in the simplification of one's choice of activities, for example. Under the influence of positive feedback from social media sites, people today overload themselves with activities; they often spend all of their free time and money going on numerous adventures and trips just to show to the world via social media that they are always busy with something.

In this case, minimalism involves cutting down on any gratuitous activities so that free time can be enjoyed doing essential household work or simply engaging in introspection and meditation.

Established more than 50 years ago, Trout Unlimited began when 16 fishermen became upset about Michigan’s practice of stocking its waters with hatchery fish that were smaller in size. They believed that the streams in Michigan could produce bigger fish if allowed, so they formed the organization to ensure that wild and native trout populations could thrive. Since then, it has restored numerous streams, helped to remove dams, and lobbied Congress to strengthen the Clean Water Act.

Each year, Trout Unlimited hosts a meeting where members, staff, and volunteers convene to share ideas and network with others. Scheduled for September 28 through October 1 in Bozeman, Montana, the 2016 annual meeting features presentations, an awards banquet, and a conservation tour about stream protection and restoration.

Seahawks fans have developed a reputation as among the loudest, most raucous in the NFL, even earning the nickname “the 12s.” One might think enthusiasm for the team would waver outside of the Pacific Northwest, but recently released figures reveal that the Seahawks had more players on the NFL Player’s Association merchandise sales list than any other team in the league.
