Not all business is good business. Firing clients is a healthy practice for any company that wants to grow. But it should be done for the right reasons. Like when there’s too big a gap between the client needs and the firm’s abilities. Then it makes sense to part ways amicably. Or when the client is no longer lucrative for your business. Time to move on. Or maybe the client…

Caltech scientists recently did the impossible. Researchers were able to generate a ring of plasma in midair using only a stream of high pressured water and a crystal plate. The charge was thinner than human hair and was blasted from a nozzle that struck at about one thousand feet per second. They literally captured lightning in a bottle. Wow, isn’t that amazing? What we thought was just an old…

End times are not a matter of if, but when. And the moment god chimes the armageddon bell, you need a way to protect the future of those left behind. That’s why my new business idea is to launch an eschatological insurance company that will send policy holders notifications in the event of the rapture. If you are non responsive, our agents will deploy an end times care team…

Employees love to criticize their leaders for viewing and treating them as a means to an end. There are thousands of online reviews of companies whose former team members file complaints like, this company is just using its people to make profits! Meanwhile, the executive team is thinking to themselves, well, yeah, welcome to capitalism. Because the whole idea of labor has instrumental value, not intrinsic value. Work is…

It’s easy to be productive when it’s just you Or when it’s just a few of you. But as a company grows, hires more staff, takes on bigger projects and earns more revenue, that means it’ll have to start dealing with bigger, more complex operational issues. As a result, employees will likely make the following problem. There’s no time to get actual work done. Have you ever said that…

Have you ever heard of revenge consuming? It’s this thing we do when something has happened that annoys, inconveniences or angers us, and so, we eat, drink, shop, gamble, fuck, whatever, as a way of getting back at the person who wronged us. We’ve all done it before. Think back to when you were a kid and your mom made some comment like, honey, you shouldn’t be eating cookies,…

Launching a new brand is one of the most exhilarating business projects to work on. But it can also be one of the most challenging. Christensen, the professor and the creator of the term, the innovator’s dilemma, reports that each year, more than thirty thousand new consumer products are launched, and eighty percent of them fail. Will you be one of the twenty percent left? It largely depends on…

Nobel, the chemist, engineer and industrialist, was the holder of hundreds of patents. Most notably, the invention of dynamite. Interesting piece of trivia about him, he had the unpleasant surprise of reading his own obituary years before he died. The newspaper headline read the following: The merchant of death is dead. The man who became rich by finding ways to kill more people faster than ever before, died yesterday….

Here’s core emotion that so many of us are afraid to express. Resentment at other people’s inability to take care of themselves. Because often times, we become the casualty of their suffering as well. The collateral damage is just waiting to happen. Everything will seem to be going fine in our lives, but then out of the blue, somebody else’s whole world goes to shit, and we have to…

Studies show that males under the age of nineteen are most likely to exhibit road rage. The question is, how can we we reach this population in a unique way? Because we’ve tried mindfulness during school, and we’ve tried medical marijuana after school, but neither of those solutions seem to be helping. Perhaps we need a solution that’s less obvious and more gamified. After all, we live in the…
