In writing my last couple of books, Silicon Collar and SAP Nation, I have observed how hypocritical the IT industry has been about automation. AI, robotics, drones are good for customers but not in reducing tech labor? The worst offenders.

by Lewis Robinson. Every year seven out of 10 employer companies survive their first two years in business. Of those that survive , a third stay open for ten years and a quarter keep operating for 15 years. The firms in the latter two groups survive by continuing to grow year-on-year.

The challenge in to know when and how to ask for help, and not let bravado and ego mask anxieties. The best people know when they don’t know, and know how to find the right help.

I have a confession to make: when it comes to my job, I do projects on the side. I know, you’re probably grumbling, “who has the time?” But my side projects have helped me grow as a professional and an individual, and they’ve tripled my income. That’s right: tripled. A while back, as an Art Director, I dedicated about 35 hours a week on top of my day job to developing apps.

It seems that at least once a year, there is a major data breach somewhere and the identities of millions of Americans end up in the hands of the wrong people. Equifax was the most recent example, but the problem is so prevalent that the average consumer may as well assume that if they have a card, somebody who shouldn’t has the number. This has forced businesses to assume the role of gatekeeper, and to keep a watchful eye for fraud and identity theft.

Great entrepreneurs successfully walk that very fine line between level-headed rationality and.utter, charming, frustrating, and complete delusion. The most successful entrepreneurs, like Steve Jobs, Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, are so because of their delusions, not in spite of them. Delusion is defined by Webster as “ an idiosyncratic belief that is firmly maintained despite being contradicted by what is generally accepted as reality or rational argument, typically a symptom of a mental disorder.
