When it comes to business, entrepreneurs are faced with a lot of choices. While many of those are tough, some are incredibly easy. For example, if we told you that you could avoid burnout and boost your creativity by doing one thing… would you do it? If not, what’s holding you back?

That one thing, of course, is taking time off. Whether it’s a lunch with your kids, an afternoon off, a weekend at the shore or a gallivant around the world, making time for yourself and your loved ones – without your work email, without calls every hour, without stressing about the business – is absolutely essential for you, your business and your employees. Taking time off can help you avoid burnout, boost your creativity, force you create systems, encourage you to trust your managers and teach you how to clock out.

Now we’re not saying you

Our last blog talked about the importance of taking time away from your business, but it glossed over something we all struggle with on vacations – putting your phone down. It’s not about playing a round of Wordle or taking photos of your kids at the beach, but when you pick up your phone to do those things, checking your work emails or texts are just a quick click away. You know you do it – our fingers are almost programmed to open those other apps, even when we don’t really want to.

So that brings us to the title of this blog. We have a quest for you. If you can’t avoid opening your work emails or checking those texts when you pick up your phone, then it’s time to turn off the notifications on those apps, move them off your home screen or keep your phone in your

“Quiet quitting” isn’t something new, but rather a mindset of whether or not a work environment is a place where an employee is willing to “go the extra mile.” In an age where inflation and cost of living increases are high, but the wage increase to compensate for that is low, expecting staff to stay later, work harder, and miss out on life to help the company reach their goals cannot be bought with the promise of pizza or donuts in the breakroom. What we are seeing is employees “acting their wage”. But what does this really mean, and how is it affecting the workplace?

The term “quiet quitting” is typically less about someone’s ability or willingness to put the work in, and more about a supervisor or manager’s willingness and ability to build relationships with their employees. If a manager invests in their employees, where they feel valued and

Whether you own a small marketing firm or a multi-million dollar logistics company, the success of your business depends heavily on your ability to attract and retain great employees. Having a creative, innovative, committed team is absolutely vital, especially in a rapidly changing world with a workforce that’s overworked, underpaid and personally exhausted.

But while some companies are turning to traditional benefits like better retirement matches or vacation days to get better employees in the door, many are forgetting that running a people-focused business requires happy, satisfied and motivated employees. Employees who are there for more than a paycheck. Employees who enjoy what they do and feel rewarded and appreciated.

That requires an investment in your people beyond an annual pay raise. It requires an innovative approach to helping your employees grow as employees, professionals and individuals. Depending on your individual business and the people who work for you, the

As we look ahead to 2023, one thing is certain: finding – and keeping – the right employees is going to continue to be tougher than ever. You can tweak your benefits, offer more money and give people the option to work remotely, but there’s something else you might need to consider: leadership styles. Company culture has become increasingly important and it starts at the top. No one wants to work for a crappy boss.

There are endless philosophies about leadership styles, but today, in the spirit of the holiday season, we’re going to talk about Servant Leadership. While this non-traditional leadership style was coined by Robert Greenleaf in 1970, the workplace preferences of Generation Z and Millennial employees has brought Servant Leaders forefront. While previous generations have been OK with clocking in, clocking out and going home, younger employees want engagement and feedback. They want to feel like their

Understanding breakeven point calculation is an important tool for monetary analysis utilized by business owners. When you find out variable and fixed expenses for the product your venture produces, you may utilize this data to calculate the breakeven point of your company.  

It can be useful to do this calculation for entrepreneurs who aim to define how many product units they require to sell at a given price point to break even. Keep on reading to learn about the benefits of this calculation and how to do it. 

What Is the Breakeven Point?

Let’s start with the definition of the breakeven point. This is the point at which sales of the company exactly cover the expenditures. Small business owners should know the values of the following three variables in order to calculate the breakeven point in the sales volume of their venture: 

• The selling price of the product 
• Variable expenses.

In this digitally progressing era, businesses & marketers are often on the quest for effective marketing tactics. It is because of the N number of variable factors (ranging from changing customer preferences to poor economic conditions) that affects the prevailing promotional campaigns. Having a good marketing strategy is essential to running a successful business.

Marketers need to understand that there is no such thing as a perfect plan. Regardless of how practical and impactful the brand promotional strategy is, loopholes and risks will undoubtedly be involved. Consequently, they might not avail of the desired results.

Even so, it is pretty challenging to determine whether the existing strategy is a scrap and needs revamping. They need to track different metrics to evaluate the effectiveness of a plan and accordingly modify it.

With that being said, below is the list of signs you need to amp up your marketing strategy.

Companies are constantly looking for ways to improve efficiency and productivity in today’s fast-paced business environment. One way to achieve these goals is through process automation. By automating certain business processes, companies can streamline and simplify workflows, reduce errors and improve quality, and free up time for employees to focus on more meaningful and challenging tasks. In this blog post, we’ll explore how process automation can help to improve employee productivity.

What Exactly Is Process Automation?

Process automation uses software and technology to automate business processes, allowing them to run automatically without needing constant manual management. In other words, it’s about using technology to streamline and simplify tasks, freeing employees to focus on more complex and value-added work.

Although not every business process can be automated, many can be. One common example is the use of a chatbot on a website to greet visitors and provide support. Implementing process automation

One of the most essential and prospective technologies in the world is the Internet of Things (IoT). It offers almost limitless possibilities and the brightest prospects for the future. This technology is already omnipresent, from high-tech healthcare to smart washing machines and lightbulbs. Every industry can benefit from using IoT powers and wants it.

IoT solutions become more demanded each day. However, the question arises: are IoT software the same as “usual” applications for mobile and desktop computers? Can you simply order IoT software development services from the same company, like this, that created other software for your business? Of course, that company should provide such services. But still, we need to go deeper into the question.

What we can claim now, the Internet of Things impacts software design and development principles. There are specific combinations of software and hardware applicable to IoT solutions development. Besides, certain challenges were
