Success no longer goes to the country that develops a new fighting technology first, but rather to the one that better integrates it and adapts its way of fighting… Our response will be to prioritize speed of delivery, continuous adaptation, and frequent modular upgrades. We must not accept cumbersome approval chains, wasteful applications of resources in uncompetitive space, or overly risk-averse thinking that impedes change.

Sometimes entrepreneurs are so focused on making change happen for customers that they forget that continually changing themselves and their company is equally important. Some get stuck in a rut and get run over by competitors with new technology, like Eastman Kodak, and others get pushed into a crisis, like Apple did, before they reinvent themselves into a new market.

Diversity in the workplace is a hot topic that has been at the forefront of the accessibility battle for decades, and rightly so. While the world is adapting to needs with the likes of mobility scooters and accessible transport slowly becoming the norm, there is arguably still a way to go. While most agree that accessibility is a must in any workplace, few will truly understand why, which is where we come in.

These days, everyone wants to be an entrepreneur, pitching their latest and greatest new idea, and looking for someone to give them money. Angel investors, like me, have long figured out that asking to see the prototype is a quick way to separate the ‘wannabes’ from serious players. Talk is cheap, but entrepreneurs who show you a working model of their idea know how to execute.

Launching a successful startup is hard work. Launching a successful startup in an environment which lacks a supportive local business ecosystem and startup friendly government, can become nigh on impossible. Even in the startup mecca of Silicon Valley, guns remain less regulated than startups, and early stage companies continue to have their feet tied together with red tape, bureaucratic practices, and strict government regulations that limit their potential for growth.

People prefer to do business with other people (or things) who they know, like and trust. It makes sense. But how do you ever compete with established, big companies like Amazon that pretty much everyone knows, likes (well maybe not likes) and trusts. Surprisingly, it’s easy. You do it by achieving greater frequency. Frequency is simply the number of times your prospect sees you or your brand during a specific period of time.
