Owning a business and working for oneself seems to have a lot of perks, right? Why wouldn’t everyone want a flexible schedule, no boss, freedom to make their own decisions, etc? It’s not as easy as it seems. A lot of people don’t make it through ...

Hi there - I'm alive, yes! I've just been very busy. Lots of stuff going on. Let's meet up soon. I haven't been able to make it to North Indy Networkers for awhile now-was doing a fitness boot camp which met right after work. Shoot me an email if you want to catch up!

Good-Bye Corporate America

Goodbye Corporate America

Ok, not that I ever was really involved too much in Corporate America, but I still wave my hand and say good-bye. I’m making the switch and following a dream that I’ve had for several years now. I’m launching my own apparel line.

I’ve collected sneakers for years, and at one point in high school I had over 100 pairs. I also ran an online sneaker store selling rare and hard to find Nike’s and Air Jordans. I got lucky. I had a friend at Nike who would send me samples of… Continue

Help

A few things to consider before joining Smaller Indiana:
1. We want to know the real you...Please use your real name (first and last) when you sign up, or we cannot open your account

2. We want to know the real you...Please do NOT use your Smaller Indiana blog for blatant self promotion

3. We want to see your smiling face...Please do not use logos or commercial images for your profile photo

4. Events should be posted in the events calendar, not inside blog posts

5. Please do NOT post commercial video (demo reels), or Corporate Website promotions in your blog

6. You can post pretty much anything you want on your own personal page (self promotion, etc), and you can change the style of your personal profile page to reflect your corporate identification if you so choose.

7. Please keep all comments civil and polite. It's OK to feel strongly about a subject, and it's OK to be critical of ideas, but please refrain from personal attacks of any kind.

If you witness or experience any issues, please contact admin@smallerindiana.com and we will look into the matter.

8. Smaller Indiana is supported by its members, and by corporate sponsors. If you're interested in learning more about sponsorship, please call Pat Coyle at 317 332 7878.
