I’ve got some upcoming developments with this blog this month. I know, I know, you’ve heard me say THAT before. I really am working behind the scenes to make this blog more of what I want it to be, and more importantly, what YOU want it to be.

I really know what it’s like to be a moonlighting entrepreneur and I think unless you’re doing it (like we are), you’re not really sure what it really requires on a daily basis (masses of commitment, good organization, big dreams, the ability to take a risk).

My plans are to provide a resource for folks who do this just like I do. I hope I can do that.

But I’d like to hear from you!

What keeps you awake at night as a moonlighting entrepreneur? What issues would you like to see discussed or covered on this blog? How can I help you?

I’d love to hear your thoughts. I have some of my own (never fear), so we’ll get started next week.

In the meantime, what are you doing this weekend for your moonlighting business? It can be something very simple or complex, or it could be taking a mental health break (as Andrew Sullivan says over on the Daily Dish blog). Perhaps you could reply to this post and let me know what I can talk about in future posts that would most help you? <hint, hint>

Have a great and productive weekend!

How? Where to start?

Your local library. Especially if it’s good and near a large city. Many of the product development books are geared toward software or tech subjects, however, Michael Port offers an exceptional course on infoproduct development. I took part in it this spring and learned a ton. Check out Booked Solid Info Products.

What about crafts? There are many books out there. Three I have with me are Craft, Inc. and Mommy Millionaire and The Entrepreneur’s Guide to Sewn Product Manufacturing. (Manufacturing does not mean sweat shops; it means you’re producing many copies of the same item, not custom producing for one customer.)

Any other great books or resources out there on product development that I haven’t touched on or that you’ve found particularly useful? Speak up! There’s no way I have covered it all.
