“To any entrepreneur: if you want to do it, do it now. If you don\u2019t, you\u2019re going to regret it.\u201d – Catherine Cook<\/span><\/p>\n

I starved my entrepreneurial hunger for years before I ever decided to feed it. That starting point for me was not just being made redundant, but dropping out of college for good.<\/span><\/p>\n

And it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, I have no regrets.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Though I’m no veteran in the world of entrepreneurship yet, there are resources you absolutely must check out if you’re dying to make the jump.<\/span><\/p>\n

They’ve been helpful to me, and will most definitely be helpful to you.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Whatever It Takes Network.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Whatever it takes network<\/a><\/span> is a digital business network owned by Grant Cardone. Grant Cardone is an international sales expert.<\/span><\/p>\n

It features interviews, business, sales, branding and marketing advice from entrepreneurs across different industries.<\/span><\/p>\n

And you can sign up for more exclusive content, which is also free.<\/span><\/p>\n

This resource wasn’t around when I first started out in business, but as of recent I wish something like this would have been around.<\/span><\/p>\n

You’ll learn more about sales and marketing on the whatever it takes network than anywhere else. The content is packed with ridiculous amounts of value.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Steve Pavlina.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

I discovered Steve Pavlina back in 2012, and have been reading his blog ever since.<\/span><\/p>\n

Though the theme behind Steve Pavlina’s site is personal development, there are tons of articles on business and entrepreneurship that are helpful.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not to mention other topics he writes about like – Self Discipline for example. An important trait to have If you’re in business or wanting to start your own business.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’d recommend bookmarking StevePavlina.com<\/span><\/a> If you’re serious about improving your mindset as an entrepreneur.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Startup Bros.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Startup Bros<\/a><\/span> was founded by Will Mitchell and Kyle Eschenroeder. Two best friends who focus mainly on internet businesses.<\/span><\/p>\n

The first business I started was an internet business, selling video games and accessories online. And Startup Bros helped me a lot in that arena.<\/span><\/p>\n

Every article and every blog post is in depth, detailed, and packed with wisdom help you on your entrepreneurial journey.<\/span><\/p>\n

If your goal is to start an online business or sell on eBay, I wouldn’t dare to miss this valuable<\/i> resource.<\/span><\/p>\n

4.<\/b> Econsultancy.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Econsultancy<\/a><\/span> is based in London and New York. The blog focuses on eCommerce, conversion, digital trends, retail, online branding, and everything in between.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you’re hungry to know more about online business and the digital space, this will be helpful to you. I don’t know of any better resource comparable to it for what it provides advice on.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’d recommend you check out one of the many eCommerce platforms<\/i> If you’re starting an online retail business.<\/span><\/p>\n

And If you’re not ready for an online store, consider selling products through a Facebook business page with Shopify. <\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

5. Addicted 2 Success.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Addicted 2 Success<\/a><\/span> is run by Joel Brown, an Australian entrepreneur. But I’m sure you know that If you’re a loyal reader.<\/span><\/p>\n

Addicted 2 success is full of fresh, unique, instructional, empowering content for first time entrepreneurs and startups.<\/span><\/p>\n

Articles and videos are shared not only by Joel Brown, but entrepreneurs, writers and business people all across the world.<\/span><\/p>\n
