Tips and Tricks in Managing Companies That Are Friendly to “Remote Work”
There's good reason to go the remote route. Remote operational infrastructures can conserve substantial resources. A server array surrogated by cloud computing can save tens of thousands annually. You can save even more in rental costs through an outsourced office paradigm where employees work remotely and send their work to your cloud network. Bring Your Own Device, or BYOD, can save you costs in terms of tech hardware.

What Is This Toxic Masculinity? Why Should You Care?
Toxic masculinity! If you haven’t heard this term, you will. It has become a trendy topic on social media, blogs, and talk shows. The first time I heard it, I thought it was a new disease that had been discovered. I am an average American male. I am not a celebrity, a PhD holder, a famous athlete or a billionaire businessman.

What If?
I meet with so many people who lament, “I am following the best practices for my industry, but my business is floundering.” Really? Best practice is a term that drives me crazy. Best practices are a point in time. They are not the Gospel. They are not written in stone. They aren’t a forever thing. If it doesn’t work for you then it isn’t a best practice, is it?

Your Business Must Be Unique (Especially Online)
Since I was 16 years old, I've searched the internet in hopes of finding a breakthrough idea that can become my dream career. I remember reading a blog about how people make money talking about anything they have a passion for. I also read about creating Shopify stores with various niches to choose from. It all sounded awesome and since then I've wanted to create a successful online business. A little after I turned 20 years old, I decided to dropout of college to pursue my dream business. I got a job and raised money to start my online Shopify store, which has cost me a lot of money. Though it is not succeeding, it has taught me a lot about online businesses. I know my mistakes now and I now know how to succeed online (I will talk more about my actual online successes in future stories, this one is more about what to avoid).
