Sometimes I like to drop the comment socially that “I knew Bill Gates back when he was a regular guy.” I know that dates me a good bit, but it also shows that I have been hanging around startups and big companies for a long time. The honest truth is that I worked directly with him in the early days of Microsoft from my “safe” perch in big IBM, during the startup of the IBM PC.

Entrepreneurs who have a great business idea and have started a company need to keep a keen watch over where they spend their money. This includes variable costs (e.g., sales commission, raw materials, and packaging) and fixed costs (property rental, company car instalments, etc.). Some of these decisions are easy to make while others require you to do your research and make comparisons.

Based on my years of experience as a business consultant, I’m convinced that most business leaders are so busy with day-to-day issues that they have no time to be proactive with new innovation and staving off future competitors. Thus they are blindsided and try to react quickly when a new competitor starts stealing customers. The result is constant stress and losing ground.

A not-for-profit organization exists for the good of the community, and a not-for-profit healthcare organization helps to cover gaps in health services rather than generate a profit. While for-profit and not-for-profit hospitals are all regulated by the same authorities and have the same requirements, there are certain distinctions between for-profit vs. not-for-profit healthcare organizations beyond whether they pay property and income taxes.

A nonprofit governance committee performs many of the same duties and has many of the same responsibilities as those for a for-profit corporation. Like for-profit entities, nonprofit organizations often formally combine the function of the nominating committee with that of the governance committee. If we think about governance as an entity that establishes policies and monitors their implementation we can see that the committee is responsible for overseeing how the board manages itself.

MSPs offer services that require trusted network connectivity and privileged access to customer systems. To protect their customers, MSPs need to implement best practices and policies that mitigate risks. For example, they should restrict access permissions for cloud admin accounts to key team members and use MFA for all account logins. Additionally, they should regularly back up their internal and customer data and test recovery capabilities.

Some entrepreneurs start polling venture capitalists for that multi-million-dollar investment before they even have a business plan. That’s like trying to sell part of something to a stranger for big money when you haven’t fully defined it yet. It won’t work, it costs time and money, and hurts your credibility when you need them later. Every entrepreneur needs help and support along the way, from developing the initial idea, to selling off the successful business (exit strategy).
