In 2011, my now-partner Chris Moody (and then-CEO of Gnip, which I was on the board of) kicked my butt about my endless statements about hating marketing. His thoughts on recasting “marketing” as “thought leadership” appeared on this blog in a post I Don’t Hate Marketing. It remains a great example of one of the reasons I blog, which is to think out loud, get feedback, learn, and iterate.

Team building is a term that has a bad reputation in workplaces. Whenever a supervisor says ‘We’re going to do some team building activities today,’ you can see the resentment on the faces of the employees. Even though it has a bad reputation, team building is one of the most important investments you can make for your people. It doesn’t matter if you have a great product or the most innovating idea.

Most entrepreneurs plan to scale their business eventually. If scaling your business is a long-term goal, VoIP technology is non-negotiable. Using traditional phone technology will work short-term, but eventually you’ll need a more capable technology. You could wait until the need arises, but at that point it will be more difficult to make the VoIP phone switch.

There’s never been a better time to run a healthcare clinic. While thanks to AI and automation, there are many industries that are going to struggle in the coming decades, healthcare is set to bloom. Indeed, of the top ten jobs forecasted for growth, eight are different ways of saying “nurse.” And this is because we’re heading towards an era that humans have probably never been in before: there are currently more people over the age of 65 than there are under the age of 5.

Outside of dreams, there is no real business opportunity without risk. Serious entrepreneurs know that, but too many “wannabes” still fall for that elusive get-rich-quick scheme with no risk. As an active angel investor, I still hear entrepreneurs asserting large opportunities with minimal risk and no competition. My conclusion either way is that they have no market, or haven’t looked.
