Smash the Box

Most ideas and life concepts are confined within a set of rules and borders, similar to the sides of a box. Great entrepreneurs destroy the box.

The fall can feel like the beginning of the end, a financial and paperwork-heavy slog through Q4, without that hopeful optimism of the new year. Sometimes when you’re hitting the roughest terrain, it’s because you’re almost at the peak, so don’t forget to stop and look around. And get your end-of-year financials done early.

Sometimes you see unicorns everywhere (and sometimes they’re just horses). Even though last month offered the saddest showing in new unicorns in 2 years, this is just a side effect of a rough market.

Part of being a successful entrepreneur is knowing what you need to handle - and where you could be more successful (and profitable) with support. Trade organizations like the Coin Laundry Association (CLA) help ensure entrepreneurs get the most out of their business by providing the resources and support that free them up to do the high-value, passion-fueled work they want to be doing. Congratulations to Alex Smereczniak, cofounder and CEO of my investments 2ULaundry, on his appointment to the CLA Board of Directors.
