Strategic planning is a management tool that guides your business to better performance and long-term success. Working with a plan will focus your efforts, unify your team in a single direction, and help guide you through tough business decisions.

Lately, I’ve been feeling uneasy. A sense of staleness. After some reflection, I came to the realization that 2015 and 2016 marked the first time in my life that I did not travel outside of the United States. I have promised myself that will never happen again. Travel has been a big part of my life since I was born 30+ years ago in Mexico City. Over the next 18 years I was lucky enough to live in various corners of the world due to my father’s work (he worked in audit and risk with a big bank).

The average business person fights a customer culture shift, rather than looking for it. For them, change means new risk and extra costs, but it also means new opportunity for growth. In fact, some of the best, including Steve Jobs, actually drove culture change rather than waiting for it to happen. What are the lessons that the rest of us need to learn to see and survive these shifts?
Speaker: Nick Noreña, Innovation Coach and Advisor, Kromatic

When you grow tired of working for others and spending long hours in the office, you might dream of running your own business and working from home. Flipping websites is just one way you can make some extra cash, and flipping websites might help you make enough that you can quit your full-time job. Similar to flipping houses, the process requires that you buy and develop or design your own sites and then that you sell those sites at a profit.

I love origin stories. Some of them glorify entrepreneurship in a way that makes them challenging to parse, as the struggles of our heroines and heroes gets romanticized in a way that tastes sugary sweet. But, when they are written in first person, unedited, on a blog, they are often delicious in a tasty and fulfilling way. Jud Valeski, the co-founder of Gnip, wrote a great one a few days ago.

by Tina Hay, founder and CEO of Napkin Finance. One of the most important factors in becoming a successful entrepreneur is managing finances. Whether early or later-stage, the growth of every company most often depends on how much capital is available to fund its growth. Even if your product or service will be solving an important problem, it often takes time and money to build and test a working prototype.

Most people don’t know this, but when I was younger my ‘bedroom’ was a small caravan (sometimes called a campervan, RV or motorhome, depending on where in the world you come from).

Video conferencing has grown in leaps and bounds. From the blurry sound environments and sketchy visuals to connecting issues, the technology has evolved a great deal to provide businesses with the kind of connectivity they need to win their markets everywhere.

I previously alluded to some of my goals for 2017 with an overarching goal of focusing time on pre-seed companies. To be clear, 500 Startups is not making a shift in its priorities — these are merely my own personal views and activities. (500 invests in all areas of the “seed spectrum” but with a big focus on post-seed) I’ll talk more later about why I’m spending more time at pre-seed, but for the time being, I wanted to start sharing some more details of some of these activities that I have

When do you take the leap? More time to focus on your new business at the cost of a declining personal bank account. The phrasing contains a misleading assumption: that going full-time will always help you move faster and get further. Or that you need to be full-time to start “for real” I talked to a young guy a couple months back. Doing well in his job, had just gotten a promotion, but wanted to cut loose and start the business he’d been thinking about for the past year.
