Stress Less: Bookstore owner creates blog for small business entrepreneurs

In SIBA country, Jill Hendrix is a familiar and much-appreciated presence. Owner of Fiction Addiction in Greenville, SC; creator of the successfully "Booked for Lunch" author reading series, past president of the Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance, and frequent presenter at SIBA in the Springtime, The SIBA Discovery Show, and EUREKAsiba, Jill has been a generous in sharing her entreprenurial experience with her fellow booksellers.

This past month, she has taken that generosity to the next level and launched a blog on a topic near and dear to her heart: Less Stress and Entreprenurial Success:

"My goal is to transition entrepreneurs -- whether you have employees or not -- from working "in" your business, to working "on" your business. I believe small business ownership can and should:

• be a joyous activity, not a stressful one
  
• give you the freedom to craft a work schedule around your personal life, rather than the other way around
  
• be a stable platform you can build on to achieve financial security for yourself and your family.
  

To do this, you simply need to develop great systems for your business. And I'm a systems nerd! There's nothing I like more than creating, implementing, and tweaking systems."

The blog is dedicated to sharing ideas and tools that have worked for her in both making her business a success, and making her life easier. So it covers everything from financial planning to rock climbing to her search for the perfect time management system.

Her posts end with a brief "take action" section of things you can do right now, and often a "Further Reading" section of books, podcasts, and articles that she has found useful.
