The idea of exactly what your business is going to do usually comes first. Secondly, most often, is giving a title to your idea. What exactly is going to be the name of your business? Some people turn to their childhood for inspiration or a beloved family pet. It could be a made-up word you dream of one night and feel it has the right ring to it. Even still some people study foreign words for the perfect meaning behind their chosen business.

Merchants looking to reduce the impact chargebacks have on their business can benefit from reviewing their management of ‘friendly fraud.’ These types of chargebacks occur when a customer actually receives the goods or services they have purchased, but claims they didn’t.

Total digital ad spending worldwide exceeds $450 billion. By 2024, that figure will rise to $645 billion. This kind of spending means crowded ad platforms, which makes it more difficult to stand out. If your business has a five- or six-figure digital advertising budget, you can put more money behind campaigns. But this is exactly what has caused online ad prices to increase by an average of 45% on Google and Facebook (and up to 1000% in some sectors).

As an entrepreneur at times you forget that being in charge doesn’t mean you have to know everything. When it feels like you’re trapped facing an unsolvable dilemma, and wrestling with a seemingly intractable problem, remember that “getting out of your head” is the personal equivalent of the Lean Startup mantra “get out of the building.”. Learning this was a big step in making me a more effective entrepreneur.

If you are frustrated by a lack of accountability in your workplace, you are not alone. The real question is what you can do to improve it, as a manager, or even as a concerned team member.
