Time Theming works really well when used in the broadest of senses. You can define your day, have a specific focus for your month, or even have a clearly assigned block of time set aside during the day to work on something that only you can work on. (For example, I like to use a Horizontal Theme of writing). It works in those cases because it can be consistent…and you need it to be consistent.

Forgetfulness is costing you time, money, and a ton of missed opportunities. In the age of automation, it’s easy to underestimate the power of a well-trained human mind. But memory isn’t just a parlor trick, it's a strategic edge. Human memory is one of the most underrated business skills. Whether you’re managing people, leading sessions, or having high-stakes conversations, remembering names, details, and concepts can be transformative in building trust, absorbing knowledge, and driving perform

When most people hear the term "gig economy, they think of Uber. But Uber is hardly the only gig economy company. In fact, it may not even be the largest, at least in terms of the number of independent workers using its platform. According to a recent GigWalk press release : "Gigwalk’s Cloud Market solution instantly connects businesses to a network of over one million Gigwalkers in North America …" GigWalk's gig walkers are mobile independent workers who execute a variety of tas

There are hundreds of mistakes business owners make when it comes to running their own companies. They vary from the website mistakes to incorrect usage of effective business tools. Statistics shows that most mistakes are very common and are made almost by 95% of all business owners. Recommendations to wanna-be entrepreneurs often include what they should do to become successful in their businesses, but rarely mention what they should avoid to do, although it is equally important.

In the climb from contributor to leader, the rules quietly change. If you’re aiming for the summit, the air gets thinner—and what got you here won’t be enough to get you to the top (a concept first popularized by Marshall Goldsmith in his book What Got You Here Won’t Get You There ). What made you successful early in your finance career—technical accuracy, sharp analysis, flawless execution—won’t be what carries you to the next level.

Online trading has now pretty much changed how traders, brokerages, and exchanges do business with each other. What once required dozens of phone calls for the investor and hundreds of calls a day for the average broker to facilitate, is now neatly condensed into easy-to-use online platforms that require little direct communication between the two. Who can trade?

Whether or not to outsource certain business functions has always been a topic of discussion amongst business owners. The pros and cons are weighed back and forth, often with no concrete decision for or against it. The key advantage of outsourcing is the ability to remain professional even in areas not directly related to your industry. Content creation, for example, is key to every business, but it is not necessarily relevant to the business’s core functions.

Unless you as the owner of your business happen to have a masters in accounting , chances are that right from the start you’ve been using a third party accountant to keep track of your books, do your taxes, ensure you can survive an audit, and make recommendations on how you manage money within your business. However, if your business has seen some recent expansion and your accounting needs have become more complicated, you may be considering whether or not this arrangement is still best f

A plethora of small businesses the world over have used the Internet to good effect, by reaching out to customers from different parts of the world. While the growth is welcome, the process of selling services or products internationally comes with its share of challenges. A commonly faced problem is that of having to deal with poor exchange rates and paying steep currency exchange fees.

The most overlooked, yet most critical, element of transformation is preparing people for change. Automation and AI aren't just technical upgrades, they’re cultural shifts which can challenge identities. That’s why change management isn’t a side project—it’s the foundation. In finance, where precision and process rule, navigating change can feel especially disruptive.
