Toostep is indeed a platform with myriad possibilities where business and consultancy is concerned. I favor Viktor's Mr. Ziz's argument for one fact: Entrepreneurial attitude?? i fear that such a step would probably remain as an idea and would...

Viktor Stephen  |  Argues in support of  "No"  |  2 years ago
I agree with Ajay, and find the entrepreneural spirit lacking on toostep. Some people here, with much enthusiasm, proposed the idea of a meet of toostep members but nothing came of it. An entrepreneur is not an ideator, he must have the...

One of the mistakes I made quite a lot as a young, inexperienced entrepreneur is how to deal with advice from others, which falls into three distinct categories.  The first is the 'professional category' comprised of people provide us with a range of professional services  ranging from accountants, bookkeepers and lawyers to IT people, etc..  The second is what I refer to as the 'stakeholders group' who are of course colleagues, business partners, suppliers, customers and employees.  Finally there is the 'social group' of folks such as ex-colleagues, acquaintences, neighbours, friends and even family members who mean well, but... well, you know....  In any event I have learned over many har...

Wow. As I thought about the past eight years and what it’s been like being an entrepreneur, I was struck by how many mistakes I’ve made. I was also struck by how great those mistakes have been for my business. If it were not for all those mistakes, my business would never have grown. I would never have written a book, never have appeared on TV, never have worked with such amazing clients, never have had a chance to help people figure out their passions so they may can do work they love. I sort of grew up thinking mistakes were bad…you know, things to be avoided. I have to admit I still think this at times. It’s difficult in the moment to look at a mistake as a good thing. Luckily we have th...

If any employer want to employ any person he must put work agreement specifing the period of the employment and code of conduct for terminating the employess. If the enterpreneurs follows the above thing there is no problem
Dayanand Deshpande  |  Added idea  "Neglection "  |  3 years ago
According to me this is the biggest problem, neglecting the legal issues like thinking any legal issues can be solved later,one thinks that ok the business is up and running whatever issues are there they can be tackled later, which is not so...

For many, jobs are for extra-revenue. Except in the Service cadre, mostly, woman do not show career orientation . May be the reason that, the social norms has not yet released them fully. or the society is not congenial to develop an environment...

  CES 2012: The top 7 phones at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show By Barb Dybwad, Tecca | Today in Tech  – It's all about Windows Phone and Android at this year's event Whereas last year's Consumer Electronics Show was all about Android , the surprise mindshare leader at CES 2012 is Microsoft's Windows Phone mobile operating system. After completely reinventing the artist formerly known as Windows Mobile in late 2010, the company fleshed out and polished up the OS with the current Windows Phone 7.5 iteration. Thanks to a $1 billion partnership with Finnish giant Nokia early last year, as well as strong continued partnerships with handset makers HTC Samsung, the Windows Phone ecosystem is set to finally come into its own in 2012. Despite not dominating the show floor to the extent it did last year, Google's Android mobile operating system nevertheless managed a strong showing at CES 2012. Motorola announced a brace of powerful smartphones with the Droid Razr Maxx and the Droid 4...

Language is perhaps the most important function of the human body – it allows us to get sustenance as a child, it allows us to get virtually anything we want as an adult, and it allows us many hours of entertainment through literature, radio, music, and films. This list (in order of least to most spoken) summarizes the most important languages in use today. 10 French Number of speakers: 129 million Often called the most romantic language in the world, French is spoken in tons of countries, including Belgium, Canada, Rwanda, Cameroon, and Haiti. Oh, and France too. We’re actually very lucky that French is so popular, because without it, we might have been stuck with Dutch Toast, Dutch Fries, and Dutch kissing (ew!). To say “hello” in French, say “Bonjour” (bone-JOOR). 9 Malay-Indonesian Number of speakers: 159 million Malay-Indonesian is spoken – surprise – in Malaysia and Indonesia. Actually, we kinda fudged the numbers on this one because there are many dialects of Malay, the most...
