Every entrepreneur and business leader waits too long before really working on the legacy that he wants to leave to society and his family. They realize too late that they don’t really want to be remembered for how many hours they spent on airplanes, how many emails they produced, or even how much money they made for the business. If you disappeared today, what would your legacy show?

Technology has the ability to disrupt the marketplace, which is the Holy Grail for any entrepreneur. It means offering a completely different way of doing something and capturing the interest of millions of people who may or may not have anticipated the idea, but were anxiously awaiting the reality. Keep in mind that investors are motivated by only two different types of businesses: a market disrupter, or a business with an already established audience.

If you’re invested in improving your A/B testing game, you’ve probably read dozens of articles and discussions on how to plan and run A/B tests. In reading advice about how long to run a test or what statistical significance threshold to use, you probably saw claims like “Always aim for XX% significance” or “Don’t stop a test until it reaches YYY conversions” – where XX% is usually a number higher than 95%, and YYY is usually a number higher than 100.

Being in love is great. Being in love with your business, when you’re an entrepreneur, is even better. Waking up each morning knowing you are getting to do exactly what you love is more than most people could ever say about any “job” they have had. Although there are days when tossing in your hat seems like a viable option, remembering how much you love your “job” can quickly snap an entrepreneur out of that mentality.

by Angela Leavitt, founder of Mojo Marketing. The end of the year is approaching but many businesses have yet to meet their end-of-year revenue goals. If you’re like many business owners or sales leaders, you may be sweating. Sales tend to slow down in the summer for many businesses and the impact lasts well into the last quarter, and with the holidays fast approaching, that doesn’t leave much time to make an impact.

I was recently a member of a really great engineering team which also happened to be made up of all women. For a stretch of around six months, there were between four and five engineers on the team, all of us women. Our program manager was also a woman and for part of the time our manager was a woman. Anyone in tech will easily understand how unusual this is.

The word “platform” used to mean something in the technology industry. Like many other words, it has been applied to so many different things to almost be meaningless.

The success of any business begins and ends with people. Finding the right team at any time of the year can be a challenge, but it can be particularly trying during the holiday season, when demand is high and time is short. Keeping up with the season can test anyone’s management mettle, but if you put these time-honored people skills to work, you can ring in record profits for the new year. 1.

Many startups make the mistake of not establishing a proper legal structure right off the bat.

One of the key areas in which you need to focus is on employment contracts.

You’ve stressed about your startup’s name; you’ve fretted about funding; you’ve worried and worried about your workplace and workforce — but not until now have you even thought about how you’ll get paid. The primary goal of any business is to make money, but if you don’t have a system for accepting payments, there is no way you can be successful. Fortunately, it doesn’t take much work to receive payments, which means you haven’t yet made a massive, startup-destroying mistake.

Many times people are frustrated when something doesn’t exist. Most people become so frustrated but ultimately never do anything with their frustration. It is the true entrepreneur that takes that frustration and turns it into an opportunity which usually means creating a business and sometimes resulting in an empire.

As a North Carolina native, I remember sitting through numerous storms with my great-grandma at her home in Duplin County. I was never allowed to walk around, talk or pretty much do anything while “God was doing his work.” We always prepared for the numerous hurricanes of the 90s by watching WECT ’s weather report on her den television and then listening to the storm once it made landfall via radio.

Have you ever felt like your company feels a bit… outdated? Not in the timezone sense mind you, but more in the “doing things like in the good ol’ days” way? Not that sticking to your guns is a bad thing in itself, some of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs have made it to the top by sticking to their own and what they know. But sometimes, you have to take a step back and look at what is just an objectively better decision to make for your business.

Over the last 30+ years as a startup entrepreneur, turnaround specialist, and business advisor/mentor, I’ve found that creating and sustaining a culture that drives business success is one of the greatest challenges an entrepreneur or small business owner faces. A company’s culture is built on the business values upon which the company operates, usually, based on the owner’s own values.

In my role as a mentor to entrepreneurs and an angel investor, I find that too many are stuck in this myth that a good pitch, and good marketing content, should consist of more product features, and more hype on customer benefits. Naturally, these are important, but real winning content has to start with a story that excites people’s imagination, and pulls them in emotionally.

I was mentoring some graduate students at a local university recently, and I sensed again that profit seems to be a dirty word these days to many aspiring entrepreneurs. I’m certainly not a fan of customer rip-offs, but even non-profits have to be cash-flow positive, or have deep pockets, to help anyone for long. Every business needs to develop a revenue model even before a product.
