Being an Indian Startup founder has meant that Brandanew naturally started with an Indian base, along with our German presence, making it global from day one. It also meant, that many new clients and teams that we’ve worked with, happen to be Indian. Close to the Indian freedom week (accidentally so!) and for the next 2 weeks (ending August 24th, 2015), we are running a short survey with Indian women online, and urge you to participate!

Technology is now not only changing the way we use mobile phones, but also the way we tell the time, track our fitness and so much more. Rather than this technology just being available in a device that we hold in our hands, it can now be worn on many parts of the body, including our wrists, heads, feet and even on our fingers! There are so many futuristic devices available that it can be hard to keep up.

To find out what could be next for these tech companies, I asked nine entrepreneurs from YEC the following question: As the Apple Watch and other smart watches become part of everyday life for consumers, what is one way you predict health/fitness tech companies will (or should) expand or improve

Launching your first business event can be an exciting yet daunting prospect if you’re a start-up or SME. Your budgets, and your contingency funds, feel vulnerable and inadequate by comparison to the generous resources thrown at large corporate events. Add in the fact that careful planning can’t always mitigate against the unknowns, and that prospect can easily spin out of control in your imagination.

Drawing inspiration from other companies is an important part of every entrepreneurs toolkit. To misquote Isaac Newton, we all stand on the shoulders of giants. It’s easy to get it wrong though, and there are three common mistakes that founders make. 1. Assuming mistakes made by competitors are because they are dumb. This is from Aaron Harris’s Presumption of Stupidity.

Flexible work is now a huge trend – essentially, the world doesn’t work 9-5 any more. From freelance work to telecommuting, there has in recent years been an massive uptrend in the number of people working from home. Once frowned upon by companies, remote work, for example, is now very well accepted – even encouraged – by more progressive businesses.

How ironic that it seems like more than 90 percent of the online information on startups is about getting financed—but more than 90 percent of startups are bootstrapped. What does bootstrapping mean? Here’s what Investopedia says: “A situation in which an entrepreneur starts a company with little capital. An individual is said to be bootstrapping when he or she attempts to found and build a company from personal finances or from the operating revenues of the new company.” See Also Sh

Standard reports stink. Custom reports rock! If you are a regular reader of this blog, you are quite familiar with this sentiment. I've expressed it often. :). The primary reason is simple: You are unique. Your business is unique. Why would a report created for everyone work for the special someone that you are? There are other great reasons as well.

There are many things that entrepreneurs don’t know about startups—and an equal number of things that they think they know, but about which they are wrong! Some common startup myths have frequently been debunked, like how running your own company will give you freedom (yeah, right!) or how failure leads to future success (it could, but it’s certainly no golden ticket), and how all an entrepreneur needs is passion (who needs the ability to execute when you have passion, right?!).

Seeing Both Sides

. I have been wanting to read Give and Take since the New York Times article a few years ago described the author, Wharton Professor Adam Grant, and his research on "givers", "takers" and "matchers". I finally got a chance to do so this last week while on vacation and was not disappointed. I'd rank the book up there with Drive and Thinking Fast and Slow as one of my favorite popular business books written by academics.

By Sean Blanks, Marketing Director, cartridgesave.co.uk. Some people believe that to succeed in retail you must be a tough negotiator who is able to drive a hard bargain with every supplier you meet.
