The biggest challenge for every entrepreneur and every startup today is to get noticed and remembered in today’s information overload. The number of entrepreneurs worldwide is huge, starting an estimated 50 million new businesses per year, or 137,000 per day. Every one of these probably has a unique story, but in my years as a startup advisor I only remember hearing a few who capitalized on their story.

The classic lifespan of successful products is a story in four parts: Introduction Growth Maturity Decline. How this story plays out has a lot to do with the type of product and how it’s improved over time, if at all. However, the shape of the curve—the length of the arc and the speed of the decline—is also determined by how you market that product at each stage of its life.

“You have to spend money to make money.”. This seemingly good-natured advice has spelled doom for millions of businesses worldwide. While it’s true that businesses occasionally need to spend more upfront to validate their idea, doing so with a complete disregard for unit economics can be fatal. That’s why Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) is such a critical metric.

If you’ve been in business for any amount of time, you may well have heard the phrase, “the money is in the list.”. It’s a proverb as old as the internet, probably older. It’s also true. And more relevant than ever. If you want to build a successful business, a strong email marketing strategy is one of the best ways to do it. However, it’s not without challenges.

Instead of piles of plastic pieces, numerous intricate components make up present-day PCBs.

Most of you business leaders focus first on providing guidance to your team, but neglect self-leadership as an equally important dimension. In my experience, many entrepreneurs rely too much on the perspective of a trusted advisor, or try to emulate a competitor who is getting attention. Personal leadership is setting your own direction and making real decisions first.

Since the U.S. is home to a pervasive “work or die” culture, many members of the workforce have simply come to accept mistreatment from their employers as an unavoidable part of life. As such, they regularly allow themselves to be demeaned, overworked and treated like disposable pawns in the name of making ends meet. However, the fact that such mistreatment is common does not mean that an unhealthy work environment should be tolerated.
