Why You Can’t Get Serious About Productivity Unless You Optimize How Your People Use Your Space
For a living, I fund startups. Before that, I was the founder of two software companies. I have spent hours studying historical finances, forecasts, and future projections. As a typical tech startup, I can easily tell you that the two largest cost items are people (60-75% of total expenses) and space (20-20%). Inventory (for hardware and eCommerce companies) is the only significant cost item I see in early-stage startups.

The Incredible Truth About Emotional Intelligence and Entrepreneurship
It was long believed that to become an entrepreneur, you needed to have a high intelligence level. To be an entrepreneur, you don't need to have a high intelligence quotient. You need emotional intelligence, which is something completely different. This trait is more a part of your personality than something you have. It has increased in the past few years as more people try to be emotionally intelligent.

The Fear of Not Being Productive Enough
Rupi Kaur, in her book, Home Body, expresses one can become full of impatience and self-doubt thanks to capitalism. That your self-worth can be tied to how much you produce for people to consume. If you’re a writer, artist, or business owner, you may recognize these feelings.

On Roller Skates
Maybe I should change something about how I humbly begin here by addressing myself by say a funky nickname like Han Solo. I do not expect this to do business ( the only idea I have currently is sports related ) . Unless somehow things take a turn towards entertainment no one will look at this non challenge contest potential submission.

Scene 14
The debate has been a long one; nature vs. nurture. Which one is responsible? Are they both? Is genetics the real picaroon pathing the way to uncertainty for answers? Moreover, precisely, what are these things responsible for? I believe, it is not who but how. In this blog post, I bring to light some of the heavier questions about brain chemistry, conditioning, and the touch of epigenetics being responsible for who we are, and not something as vague or simple as, nature vs. nurture.

What is Paradise Syndrome and Why Should We Be Aware Of It?
You’ve heard of burnout; ‘the state of being stressed and overwhelmed whilst meeting constant demands’, but have you ever considered the opposite? A state of focus and motivation so strong that it spills into your weekends and holidays?

In A Stormy Sea
I should start this story by telling you, right away, that I am autistic. Autism frequently comes with side orders of depression and anxiety, and this is definitely true for me. I was first diagnosed with anxiety and depression when I was 20 years old. But realistically, I am certain I had lived with these conditions since early childhood.

Never Been Employed
I had rocked up to the store a mere two weeks prior on the behest of the employment agency tasked with keeping an eye on me. My clothes were a mixture of cheap department store fare and a well-worn blazer I had bought from Vinnies back when I was a much skinnier teenager. The blazer was faded because I did not know how dry cleaning works, and the clothes in general smelled stale and dry because they hadn't been worn in so long.

Why are So Many 18 to 25 Year Olds Burning Out and Quitting Their Jobs
The Struggling Gen Zers It is not a good time to be a Gen Zer. What with the Pandemic disrupting their lives, just when they were settling into their careers and the tepid pace of the recovery in the jobs market adding to their worries.
