Technology keeps us plugged in 24-7. With smartphones, tablets and computers, people are able to work from virtually anywhere. Being so connected makes it incredibly difficult to “leave” the office, especially for a business owner. Time is an entrepreneurs best friend, but is too much of it spent working? The answer is most likely yes, so here are five steps to help you reclaim some of that time for yourself!

How Will the Sharing Economy Impact Your Business?
January 30, 2015 | Written by Matt Beuschlein
The sharing economy – companies that facilitate consumers getting paid for sharing their cars, rooms and other stuff – has seen very rapid growth.
Now, however, the concept is experiencing growing pains as regulators and small businesses say there are negative impacts from these services that outweigh the positive impacts. But is there any truth to this?
With a new year comes big goals and accomplishments just waiting to be tackled. Over the years you have probably found that reaching those goals is easier said than done. Thankfully, there are tons of resources that can help make this year’s goals tangible and achievable.
Melinda Emerson is one such resource. It is no mistake that she’s called the SmallBizLady. In fact, she recently took the time to write a great article for the Huffington Post about developing your small business goals.
Here at BizX we are fans of what she offers and think that valuable information can be learned by listening to what successful people like her have to say. So this month, our person to watch is Melinda Emerson. If you need a bit more convincing check out her resume below!
The Cashless Economy - Year in Review [Infographic]
December 31, 2014 | Written by Matt Beuschlein
The past twelve months in our cashless economy have been a smashing success, largely in part due to our amazing members. The logo, the message, the purpose are all important, but it’s the loyal customers, or in this case the members, that really make BizX stand above the rest. Without such awesome support from our loyal members and fans we would not be where we are today. BizX was able to rebrand and complete the transition to full-fledged private currency, and it’s all because of BizX members like you saving cash and spending BizX.
This past year we made major steps towards our vision of becoming the world’s strongest and most widely accepted private currency. But our vision is next to nothing without our guiding purpose, not to simply save people money, but to improve people’s lives and businesses. The rebranding was a huge success and our new logo has been met with phenomenal reviews, but to really see what BizX has accomplished you need to look at what we have helped our members achieve in 2014.
