There is an old saying that good lawyers run away from risk, while good businessmen run towards risk. Entrepreneurs see “no risk” as meaning “no reward.” In reality, all risks are not the same. Many risks can be managed or calculated to improve growth or provide a competitive edge, while others, like skipping quality checks to save money, are recipes for failure.

His “Torches of Freedom” campaign in the 1920s promoted smoking among women as a symbol of liberation, opening a new market to cigarette companies.

It may surprise you, but employee safety and employee productivity go hand in hand. It’s a known fact that if your employees feel safe and secure in their working environment then they’re more likely to work harder and not let their safety concerns get in the way of their day to day responsibilities. When an employer takes a little time to consider all aspects of safety within their business, it demonstrates their commitment to their business and their dedication to the wellbeing of their employ

Many of the entrepreneurs I advise or invest with spend considerable time on the Internet, keeping up with technology, customers, and competitors, but very few feel the need for an early personal presence. In fact, some totally avoid it, assuming their product or solution will speak for itself later. They don’t realize that you need to build positives early, to offset any negatives later.

In this world of constant change, new technologies, and a thousand cultures, it’s evident and somehow comforting to me that the basic rules for business prosperity really haven’t changed in the last hundred years.

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.

Translation is a concept well-known to everyone. As children, we learn about the Rosetta Stone in school, and when we access the internet, we often run into texts in foreign languages, while foreign movies and TV shows with subtitles are also probably familiar to most.
