Startup Professionals Musings

Based on my years of experience in both startups and large companies, trusted relationships are more the key to success than a great business model, how smart you are, or how much money you have. Aspiring entrepreneurs who struggle in a corporate environment often can’t wait to start their own company, only to find that relationships are even more critical and volatile there.

. “It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity, there is beauty, and there is strength.” – Maya Angelou. There is often a fine line between workplace diversity and workplace discrimination. As this quotation by Maya Angelou states, when workplace diversity is harnessed, the company can only grow from strength to strength.

St. Patrick’s Day (tomorrow – 3/17) has always been a big holiday for us because it’s also my dad’s birthday. This year we are celebrating it remotely. We are doing a Zoom call together at 6pm MT to have a birthday cake, sing happy birthday, and hang out as a family from three different locations (my parents, my brother’s family, and us.).

As the world moved into the era of big data, the need for storage also boomed. Until 2010, it was the main concern and challenge for corporates with the main focus on building solutions and frameworks to store these data. Now, when frameworks successfully solved this issue of storage, the challenge now goes into processing these collected data. This is where data science comes in.
Speaker: Nick Noreña, Innovation Coach and Advisor, Kromatic

For leaders, the question is not if you will face times of worry, stress, and setbacks, it is how will you lead during these times.

As a seed stage investor, I know the math. Half the companies I invest in won’t provide a financial return. Another forty percent or so will go sideways a bit, and the last ten percent will drive most of the gains for my investors. Leveraging up a company with venture dollars in an attempt to grow to a national or world class brand can be a risky proposition.

These days, you can find a how-to video to fix just about anything. Your car. Your air conditioner. That weirdo vintage lamp you bought on auction during your last bout with insomnia. You know you fixed the problem when the thing works again. Simple. While there are a gazillion videos online about how to fix some aspect of your business, it’s not as easy to figure out if the solutions would work for your company’s issue, and even hard to figure out if you’ve actually solved the problem.

Several years ago, I blogged about the training program we created for entry-level employees at Return Path, including an embedded presentation that we used to use (which I hope still works on the blog after all these years). My brother Michael, who is an experienced manager and leader in the digital marketing space, recently sent me this email that I thought I’d share along the same lines to colleagues who are new to the working world.

How many decisions did you make for your business last year? Decisions to solve a problem; to fix a mistake; to decide whether or not to take advantage of an opportunity, or add a new product or service to your offerings, or to try a new marketing strategy. I would bet you made a lot of decisions last year and put out a lot of fires. Now, let me ask you this: Did any of those decisions move your business forward in a big way?

It’s stressful when business slows down. Maybe your profits have plummeted after you’d previously been doing well, or maybe your company got off to a slow start and never really peaked. You might have started your business due to reasons other than money (such as to have more flexibility and do meaningful work that you enjoy) but unless you’re making a profit then you’re simply not able to continue.

Everybody should be concerned about the damage we’re doing to the planet. Many businesses like yours are doing their part to help contribute to a greener planet. However, humans are habitual creatures, and often need a little extra push to change their routines and natural way of life.

These are tricky times for entrepreneurs indeed — and it’s tempting to resort to doing everything as the pressure mounts to stay afloat. But financial well-being has to be a lot more than a knee-jerk response. The key is developing a strategic perspective, and resisting that DIY reflex. More than ever before, entrepreneurs need to make the right decisions for long-term survival, and be clear on objectives that go beyond a bandaid approach.

Parents beam with pride as they send their young adult children off to colleges and universities. It’s the board’s job to provide the proper oversight that will ensure that the institution will give them a proper education that will serve their purposes for independent living and a rewarding career as they enter the world as fully-fledged adults. Higher education boards are also responsible to ensure that students will be physically and emotionally safe, that their personal information will be s

It’s important for our private life, and an important skill to have in our work life, too. So, let’s start with the basics: What does it mean to be an entrepreneur?
