Who Needs an Office? 10 Entrepreneurs Weigh In on the Future of Virtual Work

For that matter, who needs to travel to a meeting? Virtual tools and resources can help you hire, manage projects, collaborate with far-flung team members and even make it look like you really do have an office. Scott Gerber is just as comfortable working at home , in coffee shops or in shared workspaces. But around 2006, when he was starting his short-video production company, Sizzle It!, he thought he needed the credibility of a Madison Avenue address to attract top-tier clients. So, he paid $300 a year to borrow one from ManhattanVirtualOffice.com. That decision paid off, saving him $100,000 in rent and ultimately helping attract clients that included Procter & Gamble and The Gap. Gerber, 38, now a serial entrepreneur and author of Superconnector: Stop Networking and Start Building Business Relationships that Matter , published in 2018, has become an evangelist for entrepreneurship, particularly for resourceful young go-getters who may not be cut out for life as cubicle dwelle...

A New Book Explores How Embracing Uncertainty Helps You Develop a Growth Mindset

Image
In his quirky philosophical treatise, Finite and Infinite Games: A Vision of Life as Play and Possibility , New York University professor James Carse describes life as a game with two types of people: finite and infinite players. Finite players accept the roles life gives them (e.g., college student, manager, lawyer, parent, spouse) and play by the received rules in an effort to win. Infinite players play with the roles and bend the rules, not to win the game but for the joy of playing.  For finite players, uncertainty is the enemy because it creates unknowns about the ability to win. For infinite players, uncertainty is the realm of opportunity , and they play with the “expectation of being surprised!” As Carse argues, “To be prepared against surprise is to be trained. To be prepared for surprise is to be educated.” There are many ways to live as an infinite player.  Infinite players challenge their roles . Carse writes that we tend to identify ourselves by the roles we p...

Will Joining the 5 AM Club Change Your Life?

Robin Sharma wants me to wake up at 5 a.m. He swears I’ll feel more energized and productive. He tells me that Mozart, Frank Lloyd Wright and Ernest Hemingway made a habit of rising early. He promises that if I wake up at 5 every morning and follow his 20/20/20 formula for what he calls a “Victory Hour,” my life will change. My creativity is going to soar , my fitness will improve and I will generally feel better about myself. But right now, at 4:58 a.m. on a Thursday, the only thing I feel is tired. One motivating factor forces me out of my warm bed: The chance to prove this man wrong. Sharma, the famous Canadian personal success guru and author of many best-selling books including 1996’s The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari , probably couldn’t care less whether I prove him wrong. But I do. I blazed through his 2018 book, The 5 AM Club , in a few days before speaking with him. Told in parable form, the story features four central characters: the Spellbinder, the Homeless Man/Billionaire...

Tori Dunlap, Founder of Her First 100K is on a Mission to Close the Gender Pay Gap

Image
It all started with a goal. I wanted to save $100,000 by age 25. Although it was an achievement that could be considered the highlight of my 20s, for me, it was only the beginning of what has become my life’s mission. In the two years since accomplishing that goal, I have gone on to start a multi-seven figure business; attracted a social media audience of more than 3 million; hosted the No. 1 business podcast; landed a book deal; co-founded an app; and received features in Good Morning America , the New York Times , Forbes and more—all in the name of financial feminism. I’m no stranger to setting lofty money goals : At 9 years old I became cognizant of the idea of college—a seemingly far-off milestone that my parents described as “important” and “expensive”—and decided I needed to proactively save money for my college education. After brainstorming ways that a preteen could realistically and sustainably generate income with her parents, I used all of my birthday and lemonade stand ...
