The market is changing so fast these days, and if you are not planning a solution today for tomorrow’s customers, you may be setting yourself up for failure and don’t even realize it. There are always new competitors who are planning their arrival tomorrow. As an angel investor, I routinely toss business plans that focus too much on today, and don’t talk about tomorrow.

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.

Digital currencies have been reaching the mainstream news circuit more often recently, with many investors and larger corporations beginning to trade and accept multiple kinds of cryptocurrencies. Of course, most of us are aware of the obvious benefits of using cryptocurrencies, such as rising value, better anonymity, convenience, redundancy and so forth, but from a business perspective there are also some advantages that shouldn’t be overlooked on any level.

Entrepreneurs are ambitious people by nature. After all, they take risks and invest in themselves to succeed in competitive marketplaces every day. So it’s probably not a surprise that plenty of small business owners like to think about big projects, aims, and resolutions instead of the daily minutiae of running an office.
