With constant downsizing, mergers, and business pivots, today’s workers must be able to create a stable income. Many workers transition to gigs because they enjoy the flexible work schedule and location. According to a study by Intuit , 34% of today’s workforce is made up of gig workers, or people who work freelance or contract jobs.

{Article originally posted here by Kelsie Cox.} There are pros and cons to every working condition. No matter where you’re working from, you’ve probably made your own mental lists and weighed them heavily. Are your coworkers and your office space bland? Are they at times building up your creativity but, at other times, crushing it? Is your living room convenient and comfortable, yet less productive?

There aren’t many things worse than a dirty and unhygienic workplace. Whether you work in an office environment, a customer-facing environment (such as a retailer), or if your workplace is a bar or a restaurant, there is nothing more destructive to a working environment than poor and unsanitary conditions. From dirty, sticky surfaces to unpleasant and foul-smelling odours, all of these things can combine to make your working life miserable.

The use of coupons is among the most rewarding ways for businesses to attract more customers and increase sales. However, it can also be a simple way to lose money. It all depends on how profitable the coupon design is and how smart you are when using the coupons. In fact, coupon codes are not only about how many people purchase or make use of the coupons, but it is also about getting the most out of coupon code deals, both in terms of making profits and attracting new customers to your business

There are times to fight. No great startup has been built without getting one’s knuckles bloody at times. This is especially true because incumbents now know how much is at stake when they let a startup get a huge head start in a market. So if you’re in a battle, if you’re right, if you feel confident you can win and importantly if the prize for winning is worth the fight?

You will commonly see loan companies and finance providers advertising different rates of interest on their store signs, bank windows and websites. Many people who apply for money are sometimes left confused as to why they might not have received the rate which was advertised by the lender. This can even happen to those who have a strong credit score, stable and good employment and homeowner status – you would expect in these circumstances to be given the lowest rates.

Oftentimes an MBA program will fail to address or discuss in any detail the concerns that new startups and people going into business for themselves face. Students living in an entrepreneurial world must be provided with the necessary set of skills required to successfully initiate, maintain and grow an enterprise from the ground up. They must also foster the right attitude to deal with ever present demands; their chosen program should then encourage this go-getter mind set.

For instance, if you’re Comcast/XFinity, you’d want to know when a new cable company pops up and promises faster speeds for half your prices. Even when the deal is only good for the first year and the speeds aren’t guaranteed, some people will switch to save money.

It could apply to a company, a startup, a venture fund, and of course, an individual. And it reminded me the profile of any of these entities can be built up, pumped up, and broadcast widely for not much money or effort.

The process of underwriting refers to when lenders decide whether an applicant is eligible for a loan, a credit card or a mortgage. Eligibility is measured in a variety of ways. Lots of data and analysis are used to determine if an individual will be able to pay back a loan and how much they can afford. Applicants who are deemed trustworthy and low-risk are far more likely to receive a loan.

According to a recent Pew Research study , in a field of 72 countries, American 15-year-olds placed 39th in math scores. You don’t have to be great at math to know those numbers are not good. Math anxiety is a real issue – and a contagious one. When a parent exudes stress and frustration while helping Junior with their algebra homework, Junior internalizes that anxiety as a fight-or-flight response – and no one can do mental math in that state of mind.
