Happy Friday!
Did you watch the big game last weekend? The Super Bowl was all anyone could talk about earlier this week – well, the commercials in my case. It’s always interesting to see how big brands try to engage their audience in advertising’s biggest night of the year. What was your favorite ad of the night?
It’s been a doozy of a week with Team Belle, and we’re READY for the weekend. Before we check out, we’re delivering #THRIVEable Friday, our dose of content, social media, marketing and entrepreneurship tips and tricks to turn you from left shark into right shark. Enjoy!
Entrepreneurship…LIKE A BOSS.
Making Decisions, Easier.

Want to get better at making decisions? This article from Forbes offers advice for improving your decision-making process. Go get ’em.
Create a Great Logo.
Part of creating a thriving business is successfully branding your company or organization. A big part of that brand is your logo – it shows up on your business cards, communications, social media accounts and more, and is often the first thing about your biz your audience sees. Company Folders shares this helpful infographic for creating the perfect logo.
Lessons Learned.
What would Steve Jobs do? As a major innovator and one of the most successful names in business, Jobs had a lot of knowledge that he passed on to Guy Kawasaki, an impressive entrepreneur and source of knowledge in his own right. After Jobs’ passing, Kawasaki gave a speech called “12 Lessons I Learned From Steve Jobs that Can Be Applied to Entrepreneurs.” Inc summarizes this speech and shares the lessons Kawasaki learned from the man himself.
Tips and Tools to Empower Your Life
We’re officially on month two of the new year, and if you’re like most resolution makers…you could be doing better (or you just gave up) on your promises to eat healthier, work out, be more productive, etc. Instead of abandoning your goals, why not use technology to make it easier to get motivated and stay on track? Habit List is an app that challenges you to keep your resolution alive by maintaining and breaking your “streak,” or the number of days in a row you’ve completed your task. The app also has reminders, badges when you’ve broken a personal record, and allows you to see the overall trends and progress you’ve made.
