About

Welcome to the Frugal Entrepreneur! 

So, I’ll start off by saying that much of the inspiration for this site is due to my father, the Frugal Entrepreneur, Sr. Growing up, I watched him spend countless hours after he’d come home from a day’s work trying to conjure up the next big invention (one memorable item: a clothes drying rack that you put on the trunk of your car.) He was a regular at the neighborhood yard sales and the local thrift shop, where he would acquire ample parts for all his “creations.”

Though none of his ideas ever took off, it made an undeniable impression on me. I learned importance of thinking outside of the box, the value of hard work, and of making the most out of just about anything. Armed with these qualities, I started my first, humble business when I was ten years old: repairing and refurbishing bicycles.

Years later, I became a small business consultant. A jack-of-all-trades, I’ve helped numerous small business owners better manage their resources- both the human ones and the physical ones. I have done this by focusing on the relationship side of doing business-meaning the relationships business owners have with their workers, their customers, their business partners, their investors, and most importantly, themselves.  I have always been particularly passionate about small businesses (a fact that I hope comes through on this site), since small companies tend to reveal the unique character and qualities of their owners- which is a feature that often gets lost in bigger businesses.

The Frugal Entrepreneur was born after I spent several frustrating hours one day searching for a few free online examples of some business documents. I wanted to create a place where other frugal entrepreneurs and small business owners could find the small business tips, tools, and resources they need to help them run their businesses, and devote those long, frustrating hours of searching towards other, more productive endeavors.

Now that you know a little bit about me, welcome again to my site. Take a look around. If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, please fill in the comments box below or send me an email to thefrugalentrepreneur[at]gmail[dot]com.

Sincerely,
