For a lot of businesses – and especially those in retail – inventory is the most important aspect of day-to-day operations. So much time is spent on inventory: manufacturing it, ordering it, paying for it, unpacking it, collecting it, shipping it. And yet, for many companies, organizing inventory seems to fall by the wayside. You might not believe it, but taking the time to carefully organize inventory can help your business in myriad ways, and not just by having a cleaner, easier-to-navig

We don’t just have a relationship with technology, we use technology to find relationships. Newspapers, video dating, website matching services and apps – and to the most direct of all – Tinder. The reason Tinder works is simple. It replicates human behaviour in the real world. The moment someone walks into a night club they look around at the faces of people and say to themselves, Yes, No, No ,Yes, No, No, No, No Yes, Yes.

by Joseph De Sena , founder of Spartan. No one ever completed a Spartan Race by daydreaming on his couch. Finishers make it to the end of intense obstacle courses by training, pure and simple. If they didn’t, they’d never have the stamina to push themselves beyond their comfort zones. Most workers aren’t training to be Spartans, of course. Yet they still deserve the health and wellness benefits that come from getting and staying in motion.

When I started blogging in 2004, there weren’t many VC bloggers. I followed Fred Wilson and David Hornik’s lead and just started writing what was on my mind about, well, anything that was on my mind. Today, VC content pieces are everywhere.

Let’s face it; we all overcomplicate things. But when you’re just starting as a new company, you can’t afford to waste time overthinking and complicating simple processes. You’ve got the gift of a clean slate. Meaning you’re not like the more prominent, older companies who have thousands of employees learning new CRM software. You’ve got you and maybe a few other people heading up your main departments.

When most people think about a board meeting, they don’t necessarily equate it with excitement, motivation, or inspiration. In fact, they’re more likely to equate it with heavy winded speeches, complicated reports, and long, boring meetings. You don’t have to leave your board with the same feelings that they’d have after leaving a rousing motivational speaker meeting, but there are some little changes that you can easily make to bring the life back into your board meetings.

If there’s one thing that many business owners tend to struggle to grasp, it’s the financial side of the business. A common thought is that some people are maths people, and some are English people in high school.

An idea for a business can blind side you on some unsuspecting afternoon. You spot a gap in the market, you think something can be done better, or you simply notice a need for something. You develop your idea, write a business plan, and before you know it, you can class yourself as a business owner and become your own boss. But what next?
