2023-02-1728 minThe Thriving EntrepreneurHow can an entrepreneur simplify their business?Have you complicated your business over the years?While a business starts with 1 great idea & simple processes, we scatter our business in many directions later on.We tend to overcomplicate our business with new strategies, tools, and long processes, and by (still) offering products & services that don’t perform.Most additions are often unimportant, irrelevant, or just making things messy.

Giving the investors, team and other stakeholders what they think they need. Yes, sometimes sacrifices (against ourselves) need to be made for the sake of business success. But it shouldn’t be the normal behavior we leaders and entrepreneurs have. While being nice and staying on speaking terms is what we want to achieve by doing so, often it has a counter effect. And that is hurting your business.For instance:The hard conversation about a disagreement is not held between you and another fo...

Is DFW appealing to Buddhist ideas or something more general that you can be found across all spiritual traditions?

Disturbingly, among that same group of people, only 42% believed that their giving was having the impact they intended.

One specific flavor of that concern is the fear that a nonprofit doesn’t have its act together behind the scenes in...

Specifically, children who can’t read proficiently by 3rd grade are four times more likely to drop out before acquiring their high school diploma. Why is 3rd grade the relevant line of demarcation? Because that’s when schools generally stop teaching kids to read, and, instead, expect the...

To The Best Of Our KnowledgeRemembering David Foster WallaceDavid Foster Wallace changed the landscape of American writing. His novels dissect our media-saturated culture in unflinching detail. And his essays are passed around to friends with the words, “You have to read this.” He became a literary rock star in his early thirties for his sprawling novel “Infinite Jest,” which introduced the world to his looping, verbose, cerebral style. And now, there’s a new Hollywood movie about David Foster Wallace, starring Jason Segel and Jesse Eisenberg. Today, we celebrate the life and work of David Foster Wallace.
