When your business, book or podcast needs additional support, sponsorship can make a huge difference. Not only do corporate sponsors offer the capital to help you forge ahead, their backing brings new contacts and exposure to new audiences that can take your project to the next level. But it’s not as simple as reaching out to a company you want to collaborate with and putting their name on your website in exchange for cash.

Tuition costs only cover about 20% for public institutions and 32% of college costs for private nonprofit schools. Private for-profit higher education institutions fare better, however, tuition costs only cover 91% of the total college costs.

As a new business advisor, I am no longer surprised that every new entrepreneur believes the hard part is creating the first product and the business. Perhaps luckily, they have no idea that scaling the business and maintaining vitality as a mature business is even harder. What most often kills a company is the illusion (or delusion) that all is now stable and everyone can relax.

Everyone knows that customer service is key to building success as a small business. The simple fact is that if your customers feel like they have been given a short thrift and their custom wasn’t valued and appreciated, they will go elsewhere in the future. Not only this, the ease of leaving online reviews means that all it takes is for one small indiscretion from an employee, and before you know it, negative reviews are popping up everywhere you do not want to see them.

Most entrepreneurs avoid setting up a board of directors for their new business unless or until they sign up an investor who demands a seat on the board. That implies that a board of directors has no value to the founder, and is just another burden that to be assumed for the privilege of attracting outside investors or going public. In my view, nothing could be further from the truth.
