Back in the 1970’s, consumers saw about 500 advertising messages per day. Just guess what that number is today. So believe me when I say this: When you’re first starting a business, no one trusts you. You need to work towards a brand that will sell people on the idea of working with you. This requires building trust with as many people as possible, as quickly as possible.

In this age of information overload, success is all about building a brand that stands out above the competition. Whether you are focused on your professional career, or starting your own company, YOU are the first or only brand that anyone will see and remember. That means that you need to overtly market yourself, rather than wait and hope that the right people or customers will find you.

Teamwork. It’s one of the oldest buzzwords in the business. Every business owner dreams of assembling an unstoppable team of skilled, driven individuals and driving them to excel. But the reality is often much more challenging. Assembling a team is hard work, and keeping them coordinated even harder. Even the most specialized team can fall apart if not properly managed.

by Lewis Robinson. The business world today is more competitive than ever. If you want your business to survive, you have to constantly push forward to be successful. You need to look for ways to stand out from the competition. This is especially true in the early days of your business when you are trying to carve out a niche in a cutthroat marketplace.

You already know by now that high email open rates are useless if click-through rates (CTRs) are low. You need people to click the links in your email to end up on your website. Click-through rates are a much better indicator of email engagement and success than only open rates for that reason. But the average email CTR is 4.19% — across all industries.

As you can see, Weekend VC Twitter gets pretty wild and crazy!!!! But employee option pool is important enough that I wanted to briefly expand upon my comment above. Employee options pools, typically created at the point of financings, shouldn’t be treated as haggling over dilution, but rather a strategic resource that will help founders build the best team and, by extension, a more valuable company.

Digital marketing brings benefits and opportunities that most companies could only dream about 20 years ago in terms of reach and customer engagement. But like anything in life, there is a yin to every yang or, if you prefer, there is no such thing as a free lunch. The potential downsides to some aspects of digital marketing are well known. From United Airlines dragging a customer off a plane to Nivea’s ill conceived “white is purity” slogan, any PR blunder will be echoed and amplified in second

One of the reasons that I argue the university is the best entrepreneurial ecosystem is that it has a diverse collection of people — diverse across multiple variables (life stage, place of origin, field of study, political persuasion, home country/state, full time v part time, etc). This diverse population (when combined with available assets and liberty/freedom) leads the drive for change, creativity, innovation, production and commerce – in today’s world – entrepreneurs

When you’re passionate about something and deeply committed to seeing it succeed, it can be hard to share control. However, you’ve probably already realized that when it comes to launching your new business, the “if you want it done right, do it yourself” approach can only get you so far. Starting your own business already means countless long hours and late nights, and attempting to carry the weight alone can easily result in burnout.
