Successful business owners, such as possibly you, are always looking for ways to improve their business. Topics like hiring the right staff, paying them their satisfactory wage, evolving together with the market or why not evolving ahead of the market, are always on their minds. Money & income are important as well, of course, but if other sides of your business aren’t working then the $$$ side is usually problematic as well.

read moreLet’s continue with Max Gunther’s book. One of the axioms he brought out is hope. He has a rather good saying about that – „When the ship starts to sink, don't pray. Jump.”. The words „starts to sink” are important here. You have to be ready to take the fact that half of what you do in your life will go wrong, maybe more than half. But this isn’t as terrible as it may sound – if something goes bad, just get out in a good time.
So if you make a bad decision that costs you money, the best ide...

read moreEveryone wants to win big, in business in life, in sports or whatever else. However, most people want to win without betting. Without risking. We don’t want to take any big risks, whether neccessary or unneccessary. Life is a gamble, you know it. And in order to win, you need to place bets.
