    18 years old- help but don't know what title to use here!

    Do you mean 25mm thick for large letter? Procrastination, and taking action is THE biggest hurdle you have to overcome to be an entrepreneur. What I recommend here is just do something, right now, even if it's as simple as making a list of tasks, or writing the title of an advert, or...

    Clients missing the point of trends

    Are you referring to the OP? Jack's site looked good to me, fresh and clean. Are we looking at the same site?

    Looking for a Dedicated Server

    I recently moved from a dedicated server to an SSD based cloud thing from LiquidWeb and it's brilliant, fast, light, amazing service. And a fraction of the price!

    Clients missing the point of trends

    The customer is seldom right. Customers seldom realise that they're hiring the expert to be better than them.

    Has having a "mentor" worked for you?

    Sounds like he was a very bad match for you! Did you choose him, Christine, or was he chosen for you?

    BILLING EBAY

    I personally think you're wasting your time and energy on this, will any of this HELP to grow your business? If not, don't do it. Don't let stuff like this consume your focus on what really matters: your success.

    Boxes for Shipping Orders

    eBay is always my first port of call for packaging, or Amazon. Keep it simple as IanG says, go for the maximum standard size, a custom choice will cost time and money better spent elsewhere.

    Absolutely, just treat it as a project, it's not a massive life changing thing, it's a learning experience. And once it works your parents will be proud as punch! Don't worry what they think right now. Or, do it from a friends house, or something. Just find a way to do it.

    SEO HELP

    Trick answer. The thing is, LOTS of things are king in SEO, it's a whole Buckingham Palace of Kings. Content, Links, HTML, Structure, Social, Personal, yadda yadda yadda. I really like the Periodic Table of SEO - check it it out on Search Engine Land.

    Spend hours blogging ... to a tiny audience!! Help

    Perhaps you're trying to be too broad? Too general? Instead of having "blogs are relevant to buyers of any age, any stage", focus on one ideal customer. That might be first time buyers, or high-end millionaires, or sheltered retirement accommodation purchasers. Then, you'll get visitors...

    How are you working smarter?

    Set deadlines, even small ones. We humans are a lot more productive when a deadline is looming. So set them continually, even if a 'real' one (eg external from a client) doesn't exist.

    SEO HELP

    Content is King. Make sure your site has lots of useful and informative content around your business area of specialisation. Just yesterday I released a free episode of my Online Brainfood show where I talk about SEO in 2014. I voice my opinions, and then walk through the Periodic Table of...

    How far do you push?

    Yes, push! Push, push, push, call them every day, visit their offices. Be friendly, funny, get on their radar and stay on it.

    Do I carry on with this business?

    Accept the mistakes. You're human and they happen. I say keep doing it, do LOTS more of it, and then make the decision to jump into it full time. Note though, your business is really just a job, people are paying you for your time. Always have in the back of your mind how you could remove...
