Entrepreneurial Resource: Entrepinoys

Whenever I browse books and magazines at the local bookstore, the business section never fails to entice my entrepreneurial spirit. I have always been tempted to buy business idea books just to spark the interest of starting up a small company. There are many how-to-sell books with ideas. However, I have stopped looking since I stumbled upon Entrepinoys online. The site offers more than the usual business ideas. What is interesting about this site is it is almost always updated--I cannot even keep track of my RSS feeds for this site.

One thing is for sure, though. There is no room for paper trail in my quest for business awakening. Cliche as it may sound: it takes one click of the button to answer business-related queries in the Philippine or international setting.

For today, I give Entrepinoys my bestest ***** for the inspiration and motivation.

Online Video: Watch-Movies

This month has been reel-y exciting. Full-length videos can naturally be accessed for free online. I started with Movie6 but with this newly discovered site aptly named, Watch-Movies, has made my video library wider. Like always, be forewarned that bandwidth matters with any type of streaming that you do online. And, the video quality differs from one to another. Watch and enjoy the movies that you like for free... What a catch-phrase :)

For today, because I like to be distracted from work, I give Watch-Movies: *****.

Online Word Processing: Google Docs

Google has never ceased to amaze me. I am proud to say that I'm not a Yahooligan, rather I dwell in the recesses of Google scientists. Anyway, back to business. I'm currently tinkering with Google Docs. Years ago, the interface and its usability sucked. MS Word or Thinkfree was more my (word-processing) game. But here comes the newly improved suite; you have templates here too. Additionally, you get support from different file formats like PDF and xls sheets, which is a very good thing! And I might add, you can work offline by installing the program on Google Gears.

For today's increased productivity level, I give G Docs, *****.

Online Financial Manager: Mint.edu

My wallet is constantly draining money. Personal finance management takes more than skill and having lots of moolah. I have been scouring for free financial tools, but I actually cannot find one that fits MY needs (read: free tools!). Anyway, I bumped into Mint.edu which is a segment of Mint, a popular web-based personal financing manager. If I only had a US-based dollar account, I would very much take advantage of Mint's awesome cash-in cash-out personal monitoring. Oh, well. Their blog to debt-free and budgeting freedom takes on with Mint.edu.

I still need to browse through their collection of tips and articles relating to money and purchases. Though for today, I would give Mint.edu: *****.
