In our everyday dialogue, it’s not unusual to hear someone say a good quote followed by “put that on a t-shirt.”  Well, we’ve decided to do just that.  Today marks the launch of our newest project Ideas On Cotton.  It is an online t-shirt company that also serves as our way of expressing ourselves in another dimension.  We’re really excited about the opportunity and hope we can get you excited about it as well.

Every shirt release will be accompanied with a true story about the meaning behind the shirt.  We plan to design shirts centered around random thoughts, personal philosophies, etc.

I wanted to take a moment to share with you what we’ve been working on the past few months. Bizzyness hasn’t gone anywhere, but it has been a little over a week since our last update, so I wanted to drop a note. For the past few months I’ve been heads down working on a variety of projects but today I want to highlight my baby! Introducing Social Saints!

The story behind Social Saints
In the winter of 2007 I started a very long conversation with God about my purpose and what he would have me to do. After months of prayer and dialogue I received my answer. Simply put God wants me to use my talents to empower others. Since I’ve always considered myself a God Fearing Internet Marketer, I decided to combine those two truths into something more real. The result is an internet marketing consultancy designed to assist faith-based organizations and non-profits in the development of strong, relationship-oriented, online communities.

I totally forgot to write about this!  What was I thinking? Back in July of 2008, Justin officially retired from his Corporate America job to pursue his personal career goals.  I went all out for the occasion!  The surprise party was held at the upscale Wendy’s(his fav) in our area.  The chicken nuggets were hot and the frosty’s were cold.  Read the rest of this entry »

Hello fellow copreneurs and entrepreneurs. We just wanted to take a minute to let you know about a few new things we are working on here at Bizzyness. You may have noticed that we haven’t had much time to post as regularly as we would like and for that we would like to say… we’re sorry. Please forgive us we’re just a little bizzy right now. We are in the process of designing a new site that will have more features including; more resources for members, a custom membership section, an extensive library and a new refreshing look. We are slated for a late November launch but we will keep you posted.

In addition to the website we are also going to start on a series of articles centered around some of the issues, problems or challenges many haven’t thought of. We are going to open up about; developing an exit strategy, our 3 step process to capturing new ideas, and how to create a low cost marketing plan for your self run business. That’s just a few ideas, and we hope to get those ideas to you soon. In the mean time we just wanted to thank you for your patience, and we look forward to your feedback.

Thanks,
Akuba & Justin
