When it comes to networks, security is all-important. One of the most effective ways to secure a network is through what is called network segmentation, referring to the division of the networks into a number of different segments.

Many entrepreneurs think that adapting to the new technologies, like smart phones and Internet commerce, are the key to attracting new customers. In fact, businesses need to adapt even more completely to the changes in the buying and social behavior of consumers. High-technology product startups, without customers, don’t make a business.

Freelancing is a booming industry right now, with great talent pools available. The percentage of full-time freelancers in the U.S. workforce soared from 17 to 28 percent between 2014 and 2019 and has been continually growing since the pandemic. Moreover, the demand for freelancers is also set to increase as the gig economy proves that they are equally productive as full-time employees, but arguably, a more cost-effective option for employers.

Most people agree that entrepreneurs have to think differently and take risks to have much chance of building a successful business.

It seems like every entrepreneur and business owner I meet is highly focused on fast growth to a large business, and becoming the next unicorn.

For Early Stage Startups, You Need Employees To Choose The Company. Not The Other Way Around. I love helping startups hire, especially early on.

How I didn’t follow my own advice. Years ago, I led a deal and invested in a company that looked like it had lots of promise to disrupt the women’s clothing industry with special algorithms and an online store. But something had bothered me from the very start – unsalable inventory. An entrepreneur makes a claim that stretches comfort. You see, women’s clothing is subject to fashion changes so frequently that inventory becomes obsolete quickly.
