In 2008, Seth Godin published a list of things that “every good marketer knows” Among that list was: “Anticipated, personal, and relevant advertising always does better than unsolicited junk.” His conclusion was that there is a very big difference between knowing and doing. Good marketers continue to send unsolicited junk. [Tweet It!].

When hiring a new employee, it’s important to ask the right questions. There are some interview questions that are a given; we all know how to put a good spin on the classic greatest weakness question. It’s also expected that you’ll have potential employees review their job history and qualifications. But how do you really dig into what makes someone tick as an employee, and how do you determine if they’ll be a good fit for your business—not only in terms of their skills, but also their personal

As Clint Eastwood once said, “A man’s got to know his limitations.” Every new entrepreneur soon realizes he or she has some big ones, but very few figure out how to use these them to their advantage. I believe that the resourcefulness to turn constraints into competitive differentiators and new opportunities is a trait that separates the great entrepreneurs from the “wannabes.

by Reno Macri, Director of Enigma Visual Solutions. Exhibition marketing presents a superb opportunity to make direct contact with potential customers, generate media exposure, network and increase overall brand awareness. However, if you fail to prepare sufficiently, your exhibition is significantly less likely to produce the results you are hoping for.

Every business owner or operator wants to implement cost-saving strategies for their business. Overhead expenses from electricity consumption can easily account for 40% of the business’s overhead costs. Businesses can encourage staff to improve their energy consumption habits in the workplace. However, the biggest change will come from the type of light bulb that is being used.

The following is a guest post by Bill Douglas about divorce and the entrepreneur. I got divorced when I was 24 years old while running my first company. I was fortunate that I didn’t have any kids so it was more like a nasty breakup after a long relationship, but the added complexity of marriage, family linkages, and all the emotional stuff surrounding it was one of the big (but not the only) input into the multi-year depressive episode I had.

It can be tempting to think that today’s start up is simply about firing up a laptop. And in a way that is all you have to do to connect with the world. But if you are serious about running a business as opposed to an information platform, then you will need to have some old school paper hardware. A lot of start-up advice talks about the importance of websites and online transactions.

Last week I wrote about how the next wave of enterprise apps will stand out in two ways: they’ll be smart and make experiences as effortless as possible for the end user. As machine learning and predictive modelling become more of a mainstream reality, apps will shift from being reactive “sense and respond” to more predictive and pre-emptive solutions.

I’m excited by the prospect of conversational commerce. Accessing the services we want from inside the messaging apps where we hang out is a powerful proposition. No downloads, easier registration, more context, fewer clicks – what’s not to like? The problem we’re wrestling with is how the vision will be realised. I wrote before that service discovery will be a problem for startups , and now having read this post from Betaworks investor Matt Hartman I’m mindful of a

Over 10yrs ago, I walked into the family office of Jeff Bezos- these are the people who invest Jeff’s personal money. Upon entering the office I was struck by a piece of furniture that seemed oddly out of place. In the front conference room sat a table. Well, not really a table as much as a pile of parts. A wood door atop some rough hewn legs jerry rigged together with some brackets and screws.

It’s not always easy to cheaply produce world class results, but there are ways to do so.
