Some years back, the work of an intern mainly consisted of note taking and coffee errands. But these days interns are tasked with high-level engineering, Q&A sessions with company executives, and even engaging in marketing projects. Unlike previous years where most internships were never paid, today some of the top companies in America are paying their interns salaries close to that of full employees of second tier companies.

In my experience, the initial idea for a new product usually comes from a single entrepreneur, but the implementation plan for a new business requires a team, or at least a co-founder. The reason is that any one person rarely has the bandwidth, interest, or skills to manage all the tasks required to build a business. Thus I find that two heads are usually better than one in a startup.

Having a fantastic idea for a business venture is only the first step – if you want to succeed as an entrepreneur, you will need to develop a diverse skillset, especially in the early days of your company when you are likely to be personally involved in the decision making around all key tasks and procedures. While many entrepreneurs simply learn these skills on the job and then, as the business expands, hire those with a higher level of knowledge in those specialist fields to take over, knowing

by Gary Douglas, author of “ How To Become Money “ Throughout the twentieth century, authoritarianism was the most common (and seemingly most effective) form of workplace leadership. During this period, attrition was low. Careers were built on loyalty and longevity. Management could demand stringent structures and expectations in the workplace because most employees would comply, motivated by the fear of losing their place on the corporate ladder.

Unfortunately, most entrepreneurs don’t realize that the words “research” and “development” are red flags to investors, and all such proposals are routinely discarded.

If you are late buying BTC, do not worry: You can still “win” this valuable currency.
