by Jaren Nichols, Chief Operating Officer at ZipBooks. Email marketing is a great way to connect with your customers, increase your online presence and drive traffic to your website.

by Lewis Robinson. Startups are known for their ingenuity, creativity, and innovation. They have to be, honestly, if they want to survive in a world that is dominated by colossal behemoths that have exponentially more people and resources at their disposal. However, just because you have an established business that’s been around for a few generations doesn’t mean you can’t give it a startup mentality – one that embraces change and fosters creativity.

So, you’ve taken the big step of starting your own business. You’ve got the big idea, you’ve got the research to back it up, maybe an investor, or maybe just the confidence to go it alone and smash everyone’s expectations. But if you’re going to be a success, you’re going to need the best working environment possible. That means being somewhere that will boost your productivity, encourage you to work hard and somewhere you enjoy spending your time, after all – you’re going to be there a lot!

This week Australian pay Tv operator Foxtel announced the launch of its IQ4 box. The key selling feature is that it enables 4K resolution of content like sports, documentaries and concerts. An interesting move considering all those around them are growing not based on ‘resolution’, but different business models. The numbers for subscription TV services are already telling this tale with Netflix already well ahead and growing, while Foxtel declines.

A few years ago, a friend asked me if I could forward an email to Abc VC. I told him that since that Abc VC didn’t invest in my company, I wasn’t sure if Abc VC thought highly of me. Now that I sit on the other side of the fence, I realized that my thinking was flawed. In many cases, if a VC declines to invest in your company, it isn’t a knock against you (caveat being unless you’ve acted really rude to him/her and/or his/her team).

Most people think every day about how to start their business and be the holders of their destiny. Some people have great ideas for starting a profitable business while others love the flexibility offered by self-employment. Whatever the case, starting your own business needs capital, and it can be hard to find investors. Fortunately, you don’t have to worry as you can start a business in your basement with the little amount of capital you have.

Markets and competitors change. Are you being left behind? Over the years, I have often heard the complaint from CEO friends that they have become so swamped by the demands of their growing businesses that they feel themselves further and further from the center of their industry, no longer at the forefront of information and competitive development.

There’s no room for someone to hold back their opinion and then disagree in small, divisive groups within the organization. This is a major reason why Dragon Army’s most important value is Team First.

Yup. I’m done with Facebook. However, it’s tough to delete your account. Read the message above. I exited out of this screen, suspended my account instead, but then went back 15 minutes later and actually deleted it. Well – I started the deletion process. I don’t know what day I’m on, but I think I’m close to 14 days.
