Every funding decision is a complex tradeoff between near-term and longer-term costs and paybacks, as well as overall ownership and control.

Are you pushing your company into the future or letting it fall behind the times?

More importantly, which one do you need for your business?

Start by making sure you are a good role model for your employees to follow.

Even the best employees can struggle to adjust when they become the boss.

If you can't find fun in your job, it may be time to begin your own business.

If you're professionally successful but personally unhappy, you are failing at life.

Quite the opposite of a move of desperation, a pivot can be an act of liberation, freeing your product or company from your own preconceptions.

Dream team startups are the work of a diligent entrepreneur who understands strengths and weaknesses.

Treat every customer like your best friend, rather than another burden.

Social ventures really need profit, not donations, to survive and prosper.

No product is so good that people will buy it without ever hearing about it or if they can't find it.

The challenge for these entrepreneurs is to know when to exit, and how to do it smoothly.

Every startup can benefit from the right incubator or accelerator, if they are realistic about their needs.

Intrapreneurship is a mindset that team members can apply for value in corporations, as well as startups.
