The Equity Kicker
MAY 3, 2018
Let me start by saying that I’m a massive believer in the power of metrics. There’s an old adage that if you don’t measure something it doesn’t happen and I think there’s a tonne of truth in that. As a result we advise our companies to build KPI trees so employees in each department know what to do and there can be confidence that if everyone delivers the company will hit its overall growth and profitability targets.

Marketing is the bridge between your business and your customers. Marketing covers a wide range of activities. Almost any form of communication with your customers falls under its umbrella. From traditional advertising to social media, online review management to blogging, search engine optimization to direct mail – it’s all marketing. Without marketing, your business may as well exist in an unlit locked vault – no customers are coming in and no sales are going out.

You could think that this means that cloud is basic. But why did they say it? Google didn’t forge this beautiful sentence. Gartner did. What Gartner means at that point by assuming that “cloud is the new black”?

One of the hardest decisions a business owner must make is determining when an outlay of scarce business cash should be seen as a cost.and thus with the goal of minimizing “money out” as much as possible. And when that same outlay should be viewed as an investment.with the goal of building a company’s asset portfolio and maximizing long-term ROI. Sadly, in most small businesses no distinction is made.

A few notes before I jump into this. First, I realized in running through several drafts of this post that it can be hard to talk about networking without coming across as a bit cold or transactional in how one approaches relationships. I hope the note below doesn’t come off that way – my aim was to talk about something that I really care deeply about and offer some ideas for how to strengthen and deepen the working relationships in your life.

Prior to the commencement of any large entrepreneurial project, one must go through the rigorous process of setting their business up. Although there are cases when this may only take a few days, it is not uncommon for the first-time owners to spend weeks gathering the necessary paperwork. One of the main reason for such a wide-spread spectrum is the plethora of options that people have when deciding the best business structure.

She hadn’t heard of it, or him, which wasn’t that surprising since she was born at least 15 years after Englebart’s canonical demo. While it doesn’t ever surprise me that someone hasn’t heard of – or seen – Engelbart’s demo, it’s an important part of computer history.
