Change is hard. I see entrepreneurs every day who are trying to change the world with a new idea, and startups that are trying to survive their hyper-growth phase by changing processes to meet demand. In both cases, it’s easy for them to become frustrated and give up, since most have never been trained in change management, and don’t even know what questions to ask.

The chatter of the “Retail Apocalypse” began long before the recent events of a global pandemic. However, the last year has accelerated the need for retailers to go digital, leaving many struggling to adapt. Despite the challenges retailers face, there are opportunities to not only survive but to thrive. But to take advantage of these opportunities requires the understanding that the pre-pandemic rulebook no longer applies.

Starting your own business is a daunting task. What is even more daunting is trying to expand it. Businesses cost substantial capital and labor to initiate. Business owners are interested in generating momentum as fast as they can. The market moves fast, and being slow is to lose out on money and influence. However, this isn’t always easy. With a little bit of guidance, though, most businesses can get the business growth they need to succeed.

In my experience as an angel investor for new startups, I’m always surprised by how many entrepreneurs are looking for funding without outside advisors. An experienced Board can give them credibility, as well as advice on the many pitfalls of starting a new company. Especially if you are a first-time business owner, the payback for this initiative is well worth the effort and cost.

No one can deny the fast-paced gig economy growth in recent years. Lots of businesses today recruit contingent workers, be it freelancers, independent contractors, consultants, or other off-payroll workers to benefit from vast skill sets for a specific duration while cutting costs and keeping the bottom line low. While all of that sounds good, finding and hiring top talent takes time and resources, so much that when you do find the right freelancers, you would definitely want to keep a good rela

The role of a healthcare board of directors lies in oversight rather than direct involvement. Your CEO and other senior-level staff take care of the day-to-day activities of your organization. A healthcare board of directors provides oversight for the healthcare organization’s needs, services, and leadership. The board is also accountable for setting the long-term direction of the organization and ensuring sustainability.

Well over 25 years ago, Michael E. Gerber wrote a best-selling business book called The E-Myth: Why Most Businesses Don’t Work and What to Do About It. The E-Myth (“Entrepreneurial Myth”) is the mistaken belief that most businesses are started by people with tangible business skills, when in fact most are started by “technicians” who know nothing about running a business.

Depending on your age, you may remember the days when finding a job meant scouring the newspaper classified section, calling people in your network on the phone, and maybe even faxing your cover letter and resume to employers. Of course, this has all changed over the past decade, with the COVID-19 pandemic putting remote work into overdrive. Adding to this is the fact that more people than ever before are interested in working from home.

So many advancements have been occurring in the healthcare industry, they’ve been difficult to keep up with. Medicare introduced a coding system for billing.

The future of work is definitely changing, accelerated by the current pandemic.

I used to love the Matrix’s Red Pill / Blue Pill metaphor and still use it occasionally to try to make a point around dealing with reality in an entrepreneurial context. Several years ago, I became deeply bummed out about how this metaphor was being used in politics and gender equity situations. It’s gotten worse since then, and I find many of the cases it is used in and the people who use it reprehensible, so I don’t use it much anymore.
