  "I can do it ALL on my own!"

Famous last words, amirite? In honor of Independence Day, we wanted to highlight the idea of being independent as a business owner. As we started writing/recording/sharing, however, we noticed an interesting twist on this theme. Sometimes, we assume "independent" means doing everything yourself. From first hand experience, we're here to tell you that is not the way to go. This month, we'll share some of the best advice we have to offer on connecting with others while running your own business. If you have any questions, email us or stop by Anchorspace. Always happy to talk to friends.'See' you soon,Nicole and the Breaking Even Team

While we were looking for the perfect Father’s Day gift, my brother and I sought something that would add convenience to Dad’s life (and also macaroni ties are no longer age-appropriate). Since he’s leaving/coming home in the dark, by gifting him

You may have heard of the recent study claiming that people who drink a lot of coffee tend to live longer. While this news initially made many think they'd been brewing the Fountain of Youth, it turns out the study isn't as conclusive as we'd like (sorry, folks).
