Up and Running

SEPTEMBER 13, 2016

Running your own business is a journey of ten thousand miles, and you’re about to take the first step. But before your business really gets off the ground, you need to make sure you have your accounting administration set up properly. Accounting may seem like the most mundane aspect of running a business, but it’s also the most essential to keep on track —especially during the early stages.

If you’re part of a conversion optimization team, a big part of that job is communicating treatments to other specialists on your team (analysts, designers). Depending on the scope of the changes, you could use a few different tools and methods. Almost always, though, this includes wireframing – and it helps to be able to do wireframing decently well.

New tech ecosystems often benefit from entrepreneurs who will dive in blind and figure out their direction along the way. This profile of founder tends to be younger, obsessively driven, and inclined towards making big, bold, necessary mistakes early and often on the path towards product-market fit. In 2010, Eli Bronner and his Lua Technologies co-founders were this exact profile of entrepreneurs, and New York City was an exuberant tech ecosystem without much structure or identity.

Everybody knows that running a business isn’t easy. It is the kind of challenge that you should only take on if you’re prepared to work hard and remain tough in the face of daunting obstacles. On the other hand, owning a business shouldn’t have to mean a constant fight for a reasonable turnover. If your company has been in operation for several years and you’re still finding it hard to make money, there could be a problem.

Being a solopreneur is something that looks very appealing from the outside. The ability to work for yourself and answering to no one is a life that we have all thought of doing, but is it really all it’s cracked up to be? . Different from a freelancer, the term “solopreneur” is a combination of the word solo, as in being done by one person alone; and entrepreneur, someone who starts their own business and spots opportunities for business.

I still have a device which I can use to make calls, but it’s not a phone. I and most other people these days have a globally interconnected super computer. It so happens to have a feature which can make calls. Simple evidence resides in the number of times we interact with it daily, versus the number of calls – they are almost insignificant. We touch our phone more hundreds of times a day and we might make a few calls.

I've struggled forever to keep my mouth shut. If there is one thing I have tried to work on over the years it's saying less than more. I've been reminded again and again that you often achieve far more value by listening than talking. More so than not, I have left a meeting scolding myself for opening my mouth far too often and not letting the other party speak.

Jeesh, things are busy. Good-busy, as people say, but busy for sure. My very large (and amazing) family grew recently with a new puppy, which…why again did we do that? If you weren’t aware, we already have five children and a 3-year old dog. On top of dealing with all the crappy things (pun intended) that come with a new puppy, we also have jumped head first into our kids’ sports endeavors, which means almost every night of the week we have practices and then games on the weeke

The post is also sourced from a recent edition of my newsletter, The Marketing – Analytics Intersect. I send it once a week, and it contains my insights and recommendations on those two topics. Like this blog, the newsletter is geared towards being instantly actionable (rather than just theory-smart, which is pretty cool too).
