It would be a shame if anything was to happen to it.” That, in essence, is the core threat of DDoS extortion — and, for many, it may be enough of a threat to get them to pay up to avoid their business falling prey to a potentially devastating cyberattack. For those unfamiliar with it, DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks refer to a brand of cyberattack in which the target or victim is overwhelmed with massive quantities of fraudulent traffic.

These days I see a surge of new startups as businesses seem to be recovering from the pandemic. If you are not starting one yourself, the next best thing is joining one as a partner, or as an early employee. It takes much the same preparation to make you the best entrepreneur, or the best job candidate. Of course experience is the best teacher, but you need to get the job to get the experience.

If you are a passionate technologist , it’s easy to forget that marketing is required to sell even the most compelling solution, to cut through the information overload everyone sees today on the internet. If customers don’t know you exist, you can’t solve their problem, they won’t buy. Getting customer attention often takes more innovation today than solving the tough technical problems.

One of the toughest challenges of an entrepreneur in building a startup is the fact that there are so many things that you don’t know how to do, or don’t like to do. Things like raising money, building a business plan, or hiring and firing people. These aren’t fun, especially for a visionary. That’s when the curse of procrastination steps in. The result is that certain things just never seem to get done.

Kathryn Garcia wants to be Mayor of New York City. No, I mean, she actually wants to do the job. It’s not a platform for her to promote any experiments. It’s not something she’s doing because that’s the next logical step in a political ladder. It’s not an interesting career change for someone who made it rich doing something else. She wants this job and I’m thrilled to publicly endorse her for it as my #1 choice.

It all starts with narrowing down your choices and choosing the right conference that aligns with your business goals. Suppose you are a local business owner with no future plans of going global. In that case, business conferences might seem redundant because you’re already networking with the people you want to work with.
