Did investors reject your business? That’s completely normal. In an average year in the U.S., more than six million businesses are started. Close to 30,000 of them will land angel investments , and fewer than 5,000 get venture capital. In more than a decade of angel investment, and having participated in hundreds of pitches—I’ve never seen one business succeed without multiple rejections along the way.

Every entrepreneur and business leader waits too long before really working on the legacy that he wants to leave to society and his family.

Why Bringing These Two Skillsets Onto Your Cap Table Early Is Worth It. In 10 years of venture investing I don’t think I’ve ever participated in a seed round which had less demand than supply. From a macro sense, you can thank the bull run our industry was in for the last decade. And then specifically there’s surely some social proof dynamics as well — I’ve always believed that if Homebrew commits to your seed round the risk of not raising the amount you want basically goes to zero (equally so,

Businesses, quite obviously, need employees to run them. The usual strategy is having people fully employed, with all the training and benefits that entails. The pandemic has shifted people’s attitudes towards both traditional employment and freelance projects. One isn’t a replacement for the other. In fact, both are complimentary. A well-managed business should use both in a proper ratio.

During my many years of mentoring professionals and entrepreneurs in business, I more often see people focusing on how to get their ideas heard , than how to promote themselves. I’m convinced that great results are better than great ideas, and a great perception of you as a person is better than both ideas and results. Your first priority should always be to sell yourself.

Even after many years mentoring entrepreneurs and advising businesses, I continue to be surprised by the primary focus on products and processes, and the often incidental attention to hiring and nurturing the right people. Employees are still too often thought of as a commodity, to be acquired “just in time” for the lowest cost, and managed as a disposable asset.

Legal advertisements have evolved since the 1977 Supreme Court ruling, where the court overturned a previous ruling that prohibited such marketing. And with that came the birth of law firms’ advertising through print media, radio, and television. But with time, the law firms moved their marketing online with the introduction of the internet.

In my experience as an advisor and mentor to entrepreneurs in business, one of the biggest failures I see is a lack of self-leadership. You can’t lead a business to success, if you can’t lead yourself. I define self-leadership as the capacity to set direction and make decisions, to positively drive your own performance. Leadership in business starts with making good personal choices.
