As a self-proclaimed NFT expert (aka someone who has spent way too much time reading about them online), I have to say that I am extremely skeptical of the recent trend of celebrities issuing their own NFTs. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against celebrities trying to monetize their content and engage with their fans. In fact, I think it's fantastic that they're finding new ways to make money in the age of streaming and piracy. However, I think it's important to keep in mind that the vast majority of these NFTs are a complete scam, and fans are likely to lose money if they invest in them.

Networking in a virtual age can be a challenge for business professionals, especially for those who are used to in-person networking events and the free drinks that come with them. However, with the widespread use of technology and the shift towards remote work, virtual networking has become an important skill to have. So put on your virtual networking pants (AKA pajama bottoms) and get out there! (1) Utilize social media platforms. LinkedIn, Twitter, and other social media platforms are great places to connect with other professionals and build your network. (2) Attend virtual networking events. Many organizations and professional associations now host virtual networking events, such as webinars and online conferences. (3) Use video conferencing tools. Video conferencing tools like Zoom, Skype, and Google Meet are great for virtual networking meetings and conversations. (4) Follow up after virtual interactions. It’s important to follow up after virtual networking interactions to continue building your relationships. .

Starting a business can be a daunting task, especially if you don't have any prior entrepreneurial experience. But that doesn't mean you can't succeed – in fact, many successful entrepreneurs have built their businesses on the foundation of their corporate experience.

So what can you do to leverage your corporate experience in business?

Here are a few tips:

1. Utilize your transferable skills. Your corporate experience likely gave you a range of skills that are valuable in any business setting, such as communication, problem-solving, and project management. Think about how these skills can be applied to your new business, and don't be afraid to highlight them when pitching your ideas to potential customers or investors.

2. Build on your industry knowledge. If you have experience working in a particular industry, you probably have a good understanding of the market, the competition, and the trends shaping your field. Use this knowledge to your advantage when starting your own business – it can help you identify opportunities and set yourself apart from the competition.

3. Network with other entrepreneurs. Many successful entrepreneurs credit their success to the relationships they've built over the years. If you have a strong network of industry professionals, don't be afraid to reach out and ask for their advice or introductions to potential partners or customers. You never know who might be able to help you take your business to the next level.

4. Use your corporate experience as a selling point. Your corporate experience can be a valuable asset when it comes to marketing your business. Many potential customers and investors may see your experience as a sign of reliability and expertise, so don't be afraid to highlight your background in your marketing materials.

5. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Starting a business is a big undertaking, and it's natural to feel overwhelmed at times. If you're feeling stuck, don't be afraid to reach out to other entrepreneurs or business advisors for guidance. You can also consider joining a startup accelerator or taking an entrepreneurship course to get the support and resources you need to succeed.

In summary, your corporate experience can be a valuable asset when starting a business. By leveraging your skills, industry knowledge, and network, you can set yourself up for success and build a strong foundation for your new venture.

As an entrepreneur, you're probably well aware of the endless debates about different generations and their supposedly unique characteristics. But when it comes to Gen Z and Millennials, it can be tough to separate fact from fiction. So let's set the record straight and break down some of the common misconceptions about these two generations.

First up: Gen Z.

This group is often described as being "digital natives," with an innate understanding of technology and social media. While it's true that Gen Z has grown up with access to a wide range of digital tools and platforms, it's also important to recognize that not all members of this generation are tech wizards. Just like any other group, there will always be some who are more tech-savvy than others.

Another common stereotype about Gen Z is that they are entitled and expect everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. But just because this generation has grown up with access to a lot of information and opportunities doesn't mean that they are entitled. In fact, many members of Gen Z are highly ambitious and driven, and are willing to work hard to achieve their goals.

Now let's move on to Millennials.

One of the most persistent stereotypes about this generation is that they are "snowflakes" who can't handle criticism or challenges. But again, this is simply not true. Millennials, like any other generation, are a diverse group with a wide range of personalities, strengths, and weaknesses. Some may be more sensitive than others, but that doesn't mean that they are all "snowflakes."

Another myth about Millennials is that they are all "selfie-obsessed" and constantly seeking validation on social media. While it's true that this generation has embraced social media in a big way, it's important to recognize that not all Millennials are constantly posting selfies or seeking attention online. In fact, many use social media as a tool to connect with others, share ideas, and build their businesses.

So there you have it – a few myths about Gen Z and Millennials, debunked. As an entrepreneur, it's important to recognize that all generations have their own strengths and weaknesses, and it's up to us to find ways to work together and learn from each other. So let's put these stereotypes to rest and focus on building a better future for everyone.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you found this engaging and thought-provoking. Let's continue the conversation in the comments – I'd love to hear your thoughts on the changing business landscape.

As a business owner, it's important to prioritize your values in everything you do. Your values should be the driving force behind your decision-making and actions, guiding you in the direction that aligns with your beliefs and principles.

But why is this so important? For one, having a clear set of values helps to define your business and give it a sense of purpose and direction. It's a way to differentiate yourself from your competitors and stand out in the marketplace. Additionally, aligning your business practices with your values can help to build trust and credibility with your customers, employees, and stakeholders.

Your values should be evident in every aspect of your business, from the products or services you offer to the way you treat your employees and interact with your customers. For example, if one of your values is sustainability, you might prioritize eco-friendly practices in your operations and offer products that are made with sustainable materials.

But it's not just about being able to articulate your values; it's about living and breathing them every day. This means consistently making decisions that align with your values, even when it might not be the most convenient or profitable option. It also means being transparent about your values and communicating them clearly to your team and customers.

In short, your business values should be at the forefront of everything you do. By doing so, you'll not only create a sense of purpose and direction for your business, but you'll also build trust and credibility with the people you serve

Self-censorship is a common phenomenon that can hold us back in both our personal and professional lives. It manifests itself in many different ways, from the thoughts we keep to ourselves for fear of judgment, to the actions we take (or don't take) because we feel pressure to conform to societal norms. .

You're probably asked yourself...

"Why is my marriage so hard?" And maybe even, "How can I avoid getting divorced?"

You went into marriage thinking that love will overcome all obstacles. But that just isn't the case. Real life problems can drive a wedge between you and your partner.

Would you like the skills and knowledge to make your marriage thrive? You fell in love for a reason. Even if you're struggling, there is hope.

US Marine Corps Veteran Patch Baker explains why having the "champion mindset" and relentless drive toward winning is a major reason he can successfully run over 50+ companies.

"I want to win. I have a Champion Mindset. I love winning, and I hate losing. I want to win at everything. That doesn’t mean I always win; that means I take my losses with a lesson, and my wins become more frequent. I strive to be perfect and I expect others to be perfect too. That doesn’t mean you can’t make mistakes, but I expect perfection using the information you have at any given moment." -Patch Baker
