We haven't seen all the Super Bowl ads yet, but we know independent workers will be featured in two of them. Squarespace's ad (below) features Dolly Parton singing 5-9, a take off on her hit song and movie 9-5. It shows a variety of side giggers pursuing their passions.

It’s never too early to start investing your money. If you have some extra cash set aside, no matter how small or large the sum, it’s best that you put this to good use. Inflation will only cause your money to depreciate in value, therefore, investing your finances is a great way to increase your financial security. You don’t have to be a financial wizard in order to make a return on your investments.

There’s a common saying that “Nothing worth having ever comes easy”, and entrepreneurship takes that to the extreme. Unlike what’s shown on social media, entrepreneurship is not all about the supercars, luxury brands, and vacations in exotic locations. Entrepreneurs spend years, maybe even decades of their lives starting and building their business, and even so, can still fail and be left with nothing at any point of time.

It might seem like small businesses have to spend a fortune to advertise at events such as trade shows, fairs, and other local events. This, however, is not the case. Small businesses do not have to overpay for effective marketing materials. Exhibiting at a small show comes to around $2,000 while a larger show reaches around $10,000.
