In my role as a mentor to aspiring entrepreneurs, I find that most have the technical challenges well understood, but many are a bit short on some basic street smarts , or basic business realities. Thus I often recommend that before you kick off your own business, you join another startup or existing business to see how things really work. Even the best college degree is not a substitute.

Each business has a story. No matter if the business is a Goliath like Wal-Mart, or a local business owned by a couple or family, the business has roots in an idea. For each business owner, the story of their journey can range from monetary needs or the passion for a unique project. Each story is different though the reasons may be the same. No matter the tale, the background behind each and every business is what fuels each and brand.

I love Neal Stephenson. I’ve read all of his books, some of them multiple times. Well, except the Baroque Cycle trilogy, which I’m saving for a special period of time to get lost in them, and from everything. Last week I read In the Beginning…Was the Command Line. For the second time. This time I read it on my Kindle, which was fitting. Stephenson wrote it in 1999.

One of the biggest challenges in any business, large or small, is overcoming the natural human preference for status quo , or fear of change. It means that most team members and executives alike have a natural tendency to prefer killing innovations rather than implementing them. Even customers, while they all want the next big thing, want it to happen with minimal new learning.

Most business professionals I know will go to great lengths to take a neutral position on internal business conflicts, on the assumption that all conflict is bad for the company as well as their political future. In my experience, a level of disagreement among key team members is a sign of a healthy organization, allowing it to survive and prosper in this age of multiple disruptive trends.

Can you imagine a business that doesn’t have any data? Obviously, No, Right? Whether big or small, every company collects information from the market, competitor, supplier, and customers. Every day you meet new people and build connections with them by exchanging information. Usually, it is regular information (name, email, phone number, etc.).

More often than not, those who need a lawyer are the people who can least afford such a service. For a personal injury case like a vehicle accident, it can be tempting to accept whatever the insurance company can provide as a settlement offer than go through the legal process with an empty pocket. However, you don’t have to take this journey alone. A vehicle accident lawyer can still help you, even if you’re in a tight financial situation. .

A lot of companies suffered supply chain disruptions due to COVID-19. Certain experts have described the situation as a Keynesian supply shock, a negative event that triggers aggregate supply shortages with bigger impacts than the prior reduction in labor supply.

Today’s business reality is not only “unprecedented” like these pandemic-era times, but it’s also uncertain. Humans are fundamentally wired to fear the unknown. For leaders trying to navigate decision-making, this uncertainty causes stress and doubt. The psychological antidote is our ability to plan. While lockdowns and layoffs make it feel particularly impossible to predict the future, it’s possible and necessary for leaders to expand their foresight capabilities.

Nonprofits rely heavily on donations from grantors and donors. It’s common for well-established nonprofit organizations with sound financial backing to invest some portion of the organization’s financial assets in stocks, bonds, or other financial investments to improve the nonprofit’s financial status.
