Leadership is a skill that takes command, tact, and vision. As the great entrepreneur Jim Rohn once said, “The challenge of leadership is to be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant; have humor, but without folly.”. Leadership is not only one skill, but the culmination of many which help to craft them into someone who can be approached for advice, guide a business through a strenuous

To be successful as an entrepreneur, you don’t have to be a fabulous person, but it helps. Some people, and some entrepreneurs, have that something extra that you can’t quite put your finger on, like Ryan Seacrest is searching for on American Idol. But the entrepreneurs that have it, including Elon Musk and Richard Branson, seem to be able to effortlessly get team members, investors, and customers to follow them anywhere.

Speaker: Nick Noreña, Innovation Coach and Advisor, Kromatic

by Olga Mykhoparkina, Chief Marketing Officer at Chanty. “How you are going to monetize your startup?”. If you are in the very beginning of a journey to your first million or just considering various business ideas, this is the crucial question you’d have to answer one day. The best startups, of course, are those who help the world become a better place, but unless your revenue exceeds your expenses and your work results in profit, you are doing charity, not running a business.

A leader’s strengths and weaknesses directly inform how they guide others to thrive at work. The good always comes with the bad, as every leader has flaws that correlate with the skills that have led them to succeed in their career. According to Lolly Daskal’s new book The Leadership Gap: What Gets Between You and Your Greatness, these shortcomings are referred to as leadership gaps as they can either prevent you from reaching your full potential or be leveraged to help you rise to the occasion

Wherever you live, learning to drive is not cheap. From Minneapolis to Duluth, you have to part with a significant amount of cash to finally get your license. You need to pay out for things such as driving tuition, a Minnesota Permit Practice Test if you live in the Land of 10,000 Lakes for example, and the final test before you can take to the road as a fully qualified driver.

My favorite and most productive time of the year is from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Basically, summertime. Normally I’d declare this the Tuesday after the Memorial Day weekend but I’m just getting over a cold so f**k it, summertime starts today. During maker mode, I try to only do meetings and phone calls in the afternoons between 1 and 5.

“Our A/B testing tool’s visual editor allows marketers to set up tests without needing developers!” A version of this is communicated by pretty much every testing tool out there. Their websites show off screenshots or videos of visual editors. But it’s wrong. You shouldn’t use visual editors to set up tests. Saying that non-devs can set up AB tests now is misleading and wrong.

The technology behind autonomous navigation is developing quite rapidly. From our early investment in Cruise, we’ve gotten a vantage point on just how much progress has been made in the past three years alone. But if I’m confident about the tech, I’m less sure about the target. That is, how “safe” do autonomous vehicles need to be?

Investing is a simple concept. An investor commits capital with the expectation of financial return, which according to CNN Money is a growing benefit to the average American’s bank account. In fact, 77% of stock market investors made money in 2016. According to a Bankrate Money Pulse Survey , 48% of Americans have invested in the stock market. While CNN Money appears to think this is a poor statistic in comparison to the 61% of Americans consuming coffee daily, it is still a great portion of th

I recently completed a trip to Stanford University where I participated in a roundtable discussion with the Subcommittee on Education and Workforce in Congress. Along with the congressional members were 7 other EdTech leaders in the room — many of which had raised over $100MM including Coursera, Udacity, and AltSchool. Undoubtedly I was representing the smallest and youngest start up in the room, yet I was peppered with questions.

If you’re taking chances, its inevitable. Everyone who’s ever built a successful business has stories of epic failures. Likewise, everyone who has tried to build a company but failed has epic failures.

I moved to Austin after I graduated from college. One of my best friends had made the move and told me she could see me loving it. I was ready for a change so, I packed up my little car with everything I owned and headed to Texas from Roswell, Georgia. I had always been a cautious person, so, this move was outside my comfort zone. Although I only knew one person in this new city, I was determined to make long lasting friendships like I had at home.
