'Sales forecasting is much easier than you think, and much more useful than you imagine. It’s not about guessing the future correctly. We’re human; we don’t do that well.

You can’t underestimate the importance of selecting an attorney who “gets” your business model, your market opportunity, and most importantly, your fundraising and exit strategy.

'Paul Jarvis experiments with words and design. His latest book is called The Good Creative: 18 ways to make better art. Wouldn’t it be great if being a brilliant artist was all it took to earn a living? We could spend our days with words, canvases and music, creating our art until we dropped of beautiful exhaustion.

'Make a decision. This one I learned in reverse from watching my very first boss, who would not/could not make a decision to save his life. The result was an office that descended nearly into paralysis, before everyone else (including me) started making decisions around him. Keep in mind that not making a decision IS making one, because something is ultimately going to happen, but now it won’t be under your control.

'A couple of weeks ago I wrote about the dangers of growing wealth inequality and suggested that governments take action to promote social mobility and increase back to work training budgets.
