Basically it's a little series I've created called "Entrepreneur Wars" and I just posted it on my blog site.

The four entrepreneurs I talk about are: "The Visionary", "The Guru", "The Me", and "The My"

I'll put the link below. Let me know what you think or if I should change awkward wording or whatever. thanks in advanced!

really? I personally don't like it lmao. I just payed the only graphic designer I know $15 to make it. So I took what I could get. I could refer you to him if you want me to.

but any thoughts on the article itself?

Cool article. I like these. I got pushed into branding myself and my knowledge, even though I wanted to be a visionary.

Are there any resources like books you used for the article?

I would say we all have traits of all four of the types. There's probably more than four as well. I just did it to create strategic, creative content that is both informational and lighthearted.

No I did not use any resources for the article. It all just comes from me sitting at my desk for hours thinking of all types of strategies to create articles/tutorials.

thank you for the feedback!

thanks for your input brotha. I purposely try to make the info short and make micro tutorials because people's attention spans are getting smaller.

but i find it interesting that you say the website itself is amazing... because believe it or not, you're the only person that has said that lmao.

most people say my website looks like crap, but that my content is "ok". o_O make me wonder haha

Feel the difference?
Don't ever use unreadable fonts.

And the easiest first step to doing that is to only use Sans-serif on digital screens - we strain our eyes naturally on screens and in reading we do it again for fancy marks on each letter (serif). Sans-serif fonts are 'sans'(without) the serifs (deined as 'a slight projection finishing off a stroke of a letter in certain typefaces.').

oh WOW.... I do see the difference. How were you able to make the font look this crisp?

what's the name of the font-family? or the name of the font?

Eyeballing it - it looks like simple Arial which you almost can never go wrong with. He just changed the font by using dev console in browser most likely (f-12) or a plugin that does it automatically.

It's actually "smooth", but I understand what you mean.

This is just a basic Arial font, I turned your custom font off.
If you want to keep a sans-serif font, you can use Open Sans, it's quite good.

Actually, serif fonts, especially balanced ones, are way more readable than sans-serif fonts.
I can elaborate on that, but I think I'll just post an article in future where I'll explain this in depth, didn't plan to have a discussion on this subject right now:)
