Designing an Experience
Designing an online experience for your consumer base is a critical step for any business that is ready to provide global accessibility. Whether this accessibility is being provided through a website, app, or even a game interface, the experience you provide your end users will be the determining factor of your interface’s continued success.

Leading vs. Bossing
Are you a leader, or a boss? While most people in management roles these days will identify themselves as a leader, how much of that identity is true, and how much has been cultivated by the persona we are expected to embody?

Scaling through Accessibility - Part I
It can be incredibly tempting to scale your business by increasing your number of employees, opening a new location, onboarding a new product/service line, or even diversifying your products/services. While these strategies can be effective, they are also very time consuming and costly methods. There is a path of less resistance to explore first. Perhaps the most cost effective, and logical, next step would be to scale your business through accessibility. Taking your business from a local presence to a regional, national, or even global presence can be achieved by building a website for your business.

Acquisition 101
There are several reasons you may be considering a business acquisition; you prefer to acquire an existing business as opposed to starting your own, you wish to increase your market share, you’d like to tap an unassociated market, or even if you’d like to expand your business offerings. Regardless of your reasoning, the initial scope is the same; due diligence, due diligence, due diligence.

Check Your Mirrors
One of the most well-known “coming of age” milestones happens when we learn to drive for the first time. It is such an exciting and scary moment in life, and is chalk full of new information and motor skills to learn. Before we even start the car, we are educated on safety precautions; seat belt on, seat at an appropriate height and reach, hands at 10 & 2, and to check your mirrors. As with driving, running a business requires us to constantly check the mirrors.

Creating Consistency
The goal of any business in any sector is to be able to automate as many processes as possible in order to minimize overhead expenses. Prior to automation, your business must be able to provide consistency across all processes. And, in order to provide consistency, you must first establish your business standards. It all starts with developing and documenting your Standard Operating Procedures, or SOPs.

Reset, Refresh, Renew
As we enter a new year, we cannot help but to already start looking forward; visualize a twelve month path laid out in front of you, and you’re standing on day one. Too often, we forget to start where we are, and instead jump out ahead of our present reality. Being proactive by looking ahead and planning is a wonderful behavior to practice regularly, so long as your vision starts where you are presently.
