Unfortunately, you have to spend a lot of time answering the phones if you want to make sure you’re engaging with customers and keeping them coming back to your business. Live answering services can help cut back on a lot of that time spent, but they’re also an investment.

I’ve just finished re-reading “ The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change”, a bestseller written by Stephen R. Covey 30 years ago; it might be old, but it is still extremely relevant. Covey (1932-2012), was a business school professor and internationally respected authority on leadership. In the book, he walks the reader through a basic principle: true success encompasses a balance of personal and professional effectiveness.

Being an active entrepreneur means taking advantage of all of the opportunities available in your community. Rather than sitting back and letting your business run itself, as an active entrepreneur you will carefully manage all aspects of your new business venture. It means constantly challenging yourself to learn new skills. Running a company is a challenging prospect, and many new businesses fail.

Even if you’ve never written a board report before, it’s easy enough to learn how to do it. If you need some assistance in understanding how to write reports, ask for a copy of a report that was submitted in the past and use it as a template. You don’t have to write the report alone. Ask the committee members for help or ask for a mentor that has written a report in the past to help you with it.

The practice of S earch E ngine O ptimization ( SEO ) is no longer a new-fangled trend. It’s been a serious marketing practice for over 20 years. SEO is getting along in years. It’s old enough to grow a beard, or buy a drink at a bar — it can drive, and boy does it have wheels. Rather than showing its age, SEO has proven that it is here to stay.

“I don’t mind getting your updates, but 34 copies at once is a bit much.” In the light of all of the attention the email faux-pas and correction by Superhuman in the last couple of months, I thought I’d share an email misuse story of my own from last year. Back when we were rebranding from Compl.ai to Shep , I wrote a short email asking a small portion of my startup and investor network for three minutes of their time to look at some logo mockups on 99Designs and vote for their favorite.

About 8 years ago, I wrote a blog post that talked about the story from my MovieFone days when I went from managing 1 person to 20 overnight and had to completely rejigger my Operating System to the new environment. It was a case of required revolution over evolution for me. Trial by fire. I feel like I am living in an analogous world now. After 7 days on the job as CEO of LRN ( announcement ) ( first days post ) I am realizing that going from leading a company that I founded and led for two dec

Let’s get personal. Do you think you’re much better than a marginal leader? Well, here are a few tests for you to help come to an answer. And a few tips for you if you fall a bit short. Why do people follow their leader? Dictators are not great leaders in the long run. People follow such leaders by fear, rarely by devotion. Employees want to have a stake in their own destiny, and above all want to understand why actions are taken which affect them, even if the outcome is not in the employee

Recently, I discovered a neat new acronym, JOMO, which stands for the “Joy Of Missing Out.” While FOMO is an endless part of all things technology, entrepreneurship, and investing, I’ve actively tried to ignore and avoid FOMO across all dimensions of my life. On balance, I’m more successful than not on this dimension, but it’s an endless challenge.

During the 2016 presidential campaign, a truism emerged that the best way to understand Donald Trump is to take him seriously, not literally. This has always struck me as nonsense, for two reasons. First, it creates an artificial divide where there is in fact a natural unity: Taking someone literally is an obvious early step in taking them seriously.
