3 Signs Your Team Shouldn’t Be Working Remotely
"Hi Josh, I think I'm going to disagree with point three. Many managers are not as skilled as they believe they are at spotting the difference between employees who simply look busy in the office and those that are truly contributing to the team. Depending on the nature of the work being done, it is generally pretty easy to identify weak links in a remote work setting particularly because work flow is such that literally everything can be seen by a manager or management team as it comes in. If workflow in a remote work setting is not transparent, then, of course, that is a whole different area that needs to be addressed. "11 Moments That Make Starting a Business Completely Worth It

"Hi Susan, On the subject of competition, I think it's worth noting that the most successful brands seem to deliberately refuse to compete, even with others in the same industry. For example, Apple has always refused to compete with other computer or technology companies on things like price or even the customers they target. Just because there are competitors with a similar product or service, does not mean you need to let them set the standards for your brand or business. Are there customers, or even whole markets, they haven't even thought about serving? You'll cut down significantly on the competition by freeing yourself from the idea that you need to mimic the strategy of others. Thanks for participating on BizSugar."How to Create Three Times More Content without Killing Yourself
"Hi Mike, I think this is a question many content marketers ask themselves. The important point is to know the difference between content morphing (communicating an idea in a variety of ways that all add value to the consumer's experience) and content spinning (simply regurgitating the same old content again and again in slightly different format but in a way that doesn't add value and seems almost a cheat to the reader.) It's important to keep focusing on adding real value. That approach will not lead you astray. Thanks for sharing with the BizSugar community."What You Need to Know About Business Licenses and Permits
