Imagine this – you are cruising down the Interstate-5. You see another car pull up by your side. The car looks strange, with a claw-like fixture on top. As it passes by your car, you see it has no driver! The passengers are looking down at something and the car moves ahead.

Automating parts of your business where it makes sense is something that many could benefit from sooner rather than later, and automation improves efficiencies otherwise not experienced from human error and restrictions of humanity.

It is nearly impossible to guarantee a hundred percent financial security at all times. Even the richest of businesses face unpredictable losses and go through tough times. These are the circumstances when you could need some fast cast without involving too many complications, and that’s when you can resort to a title loan. Startups especially can consider this as a, perhaps desperate, way to help with a short term funding problem.

Most startups view venture capital funding as a blessing from above — eager to take it as soon as they can get it. Tempted by large sums of money and the perceived validation that comes along with being funded, founders turn to venture capitalists to accelerate their company’s growth. In exchange, founders agree to transition their company into a new phase that requires them to start catering to investors’ needs in addition to those of its customers and employees.

From the beginning of time, we’ve told and sought out stories about common experiences. We crave social proof. What Is Social Proof?

Two of my childhood business heroes, T. Boone Pickens and H. Ross Perot , died this year. Perot passed away this summer at age 89 and Pickens passed away yesterday at age 91.
