The concept of “practicing mindfulness” has grown in popularity in the last decade. Mindfulness for kids, mindfulness to quit smoking, mindful eating, mindfulness at the office—it’s become a catch-all buzzword.

Under lean startup methodology , founders attempt to eliminate as much uncertainty as possible to create some order out of the chaos involved in starting a company. Failures are inevitable; but, great founders know how to fail quickly and cheaply, rather than trying to take on boatloads of venture capital funding to solve a problem with an approach that doesn’t scale or, even worse, to solve a problem that does not exist or is not that painful.

In a recent meeting, a founder asked me what I thought of the fundraising environment.

Written for EO by Michael Kiel , a serial entrepreneur. Startups often focus most of their attention on securing funding from potential investors. That’s not a bad strategy—particularly considering how much money it takes to get a business off the ground. However, there might be another strategic partnership that can benefit small businesses seeking exposure: partnering with bigger brands.

Perhaps because this number is hypothetical and dependent on so many different factors, some founders do not give it the time it deserves. But, the TAM slide is an excellent opportunity to both convince investors of the potential market for your product and also to prove that you are capable of providing an analytical and syste

Using the proliferation of newly GPS-enabled mobile devices to enable taxi hailing and beat out stagnant incumbent providers was always going to be a big win for consumers. It provided a better service than existing cabs were going to be able to do for at least several years—cutting out lots of unnecessary overhead in the system. Had it been built differently, it could have been a better company and honestly I’d like to believe maybe even a more valuable one in the long term.

“How’s business? How are sales?” These two questions give a quick pulse check on your current sales health. But the bigger question business owners really need to be asked is, “How’s your sales pipeline?” Why? Because your sales today are the result of the health of your sales pipeline last month. But your sales next month, next quarter or next year will be a reflection of the health of your pipeline today.
