7 Crazy Startup Ideas That Worked

Aug 28, 2019 By Tim Berry

I believe many people put way too much stock in the startup idea. Doing the business, doing the work, getting things done, and execution are all more important.

Jul 31, 2019 By Marty Zwilling

Before 2008, small businesses could easily secure funding. Everything changed once the Great Recession took hold. The days of easy funding ended in a matter of weeks.
