Being in love is great. Being in love with your business, when you’re an entrepreneur, is even better. Waking up each morning knowing you are getting to do exactly what you love is more than most people could ever say about any “job” they have had. Although there are days when tossing in your hat seems like a viable option, remembering how much you love your “job” can quickly snap an entrepreneur out of that mentality.

Motivated teams are the key to success at every startup, yet I still know entrepreneurs who gave an inspirational speech to kick off the quarter but haven’t been heard from since, or don’t realize that their actions are often more demotivating than inspirational. The result is a huge loss in productivity and morale and potentially the death of a promising startup.

The idea of exactly what your business is going to be usually comes first. Secondly, most often, is giving a title to your idea. What exactly is going to be the name of your business? Some people turn to their childhood for inspiration or a beloved family pet. It could be a made up word you dream of one night and feel it has the right ring to it. Even still there are some people who study foreign words for the perfect meaning behind their chosen business.

By Nick Goode, Commercial Director at Sage One. The whole hobby-to-business proposition is a little misleading — primarily because we need to rethink the word “hobby.” When we hear it, we think of those fun, voluntary pastimes that bring us enjoyment and help us make the most of our free time: reading, collecting stamps, community theatre — they’re all things that we do because we enjoy doing them.

Facebook’s organic reach has been a matter of concern for many marketers. Unless they really engage with your content, your content may not even reach the relevant newsfeed. You can have thousands of followers on your Facebook page but still have posts that no one really engages with. Having no engagement on posts is the social media equivalent of talking to yourself – it shouldn’t happen.

There you are, lounging in your ivory tower of an office complex, sun glinting through your 43 rd floor window. A newton’s cradle sways to and fro and you sit in your chair like a Bond villain. But something niggles at you from the back of your mind. You’re in the lap of luxury. But then you begin to remember disgruntled workers in your warehouse. Yes, that was it, some kind of picket line and a few burning tyres.

Bias as a problem in qualitative research and analysis is as old as, well, qualitative research. Bias exists on so many levels that it would be impossible to document them all in this space. Defining Bias in Qualitative Research. By definition, bias or (to use the more academic term, artifact ) occurs when the researcher unconsciously adds a personal opinion into the scientific process or when that opinion or expectation is unintentionally communicated to the research respondents.

For years I ran ads for different positions, and would always get hundreds of resumes in response. The problem was 95% of those respondents were generic responses. They were people who could care less about this specific job, they just wanted any job. It took tremendous amounts of time to vet through the resumes, and rarely resulted in interviews of good people.

The stress of work can bring out the worst in people. Under the weight of deadlines, sales goals, and one too many lattes, even the most mild-mannered person can do or say something they regret. Usually, a quick apology will cover a misstep. However, there are five “people” you should never work with. I mean it. Under no circumstances should you put yourself in a work environment with these… MONSTERS.
