Wouldn’t you like to be one of the lucky people who joined Google and Facebook when these were startups, and now be a multi-millionaire or better? So people ask me “How many shares should I ask for or expect when I join a startup today?” In reality, the number of shares doesn’t mean anything – it’s your percent of the total that you need to negotiate.

It isn’t all fun and games for tourism-based retailers. Despite the fact that the World Travel and Tourism Council reports that tourism brought in $8.8 trillion and 319 million jobs to the global economy , there is one glaring disadvantage to being a tourism-based retailer: Your customers are usually only in town for a few days. . Because of this, tourism-based retailers aren’t able to build up a regular clientele in the same way as other businesses—which is why it’s especially important for ret

School buses are frequently outdated. The large amount of money needed to purchase a bus means that schools hang onto these buses for many years, believing that the cost of buying a new bus is prohibitive. In many school districts, buses do not have the advanced school bus safety and monitoring equipment that is needed to comply with best practices.

Startups are like a newly born baby. You have to feed it with proper ideas, marketing, and investments. And at the same time, you can’t afford to spend extra at anything because you have limited investment and that can come to an end if you spend it without caution. The best idea is to keep the costs minimum but never forget about commercial insurance.

We all want what we can’t have. And we flaunt when we have something others don’t. That’s why zealous Apple fans camp overnight at Apple stores around the world before major iPhone launches. It’s also why certain fashion brands charge tens of thousands of dollars for women’s purses that should cost significantly less. The “fear of missing out” (FOMO) causes consumers to behave in irrational, unpredictable ways.

You might see forecasting as a waste of time, or something you do when you have absolutely nothing else on your plate (which is, um, never). Or you may have been diligently forecasting each month in the past, and stopped once you found that reality turned out quite differently to your best laid plans. And who can blame you? We’ve seen many of our customers thrive by harnessing the power of regular forecasting to make better decisions.

Starting your own business is not nearly as intimidating as some people may believe it to be. After all, about 97 percent of Australian startups have less than 19 employees (some have as few as 3 or 4). These teams aren’t hard to run efficiently and the organization itself isn’t hard to manage. However, even with this on your side, there are so many enterprises that fail every single year.

Hiring your first employee is a bit of a rite of passage for start-ups. Many fledgling businesses consist of one person and their laptop, crammed into a small office space, and when you start thinking about hiring others to help out, it all becomes a lot more real. While the prospect of having someone to help with the workload is no doubt appealing, the thought of having to pay someone a salary and manage them can be quite anxiety-inducing for young entrepreneurs.
