Image
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Times are tough; there is no doubt about it. Just as we thought we were "done" with years of stress from the pandemic, we are faced with daily worsening news about inflation, the war in Ukraine, climate change and an imminent predicted recession. However, it is possible to take these things seriously, make appropriate life adjustments, ignore the negative energy they can bring and keep our hope. How can we do that? From my experience, here is how people have not only survived extreme stress and disruption, but thrived because of it. We can all foster these characteristics in our friends and family, celebrate them in our colleagues and, most importantly, emulate them. Related: Having A Work-Life Balance is Nonsense.

5 Hacks for Building an Invincible Business Strategy

Image
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. A recent study found that only about 39% of small businesses end up profitable. But why? Many companies fail to make a profit because of a flawed business strategy. Sometimes, a strategy may be so complex that the team simply can't execute it. In others, the problem may be clear, refined goals but no overarching strategy or plan for reaching those targets. Another business strategy failure might lie in looking only at the short term rather than panning out to see and prepare for what's likely to happen down the road. However you slice it, a failure to plan is a plan to fail, while having a robust and sharp business strategy increases the likelihood of small business success. Here are five hacks for building a more effective business strategy and equipping your SMB for long-term success. Related: 7 Outdated Habits That Will Paralyze Your Business 1.

How Crafting a Winning Environment Can Change Your Life and Your Business

Image
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Business owners have always been problem solvers. That's what the free market is designed to do — allow innovative thinkers to create change for others by solving problems. We, as entrepreneurs, are problem solvers and creative thinkers. To see success in business, we must be good at a few core skills. We must be good at solving a specific problem for a specific type of person. We must be good at finding the right people and managing those people. And we must be good at solving the problems that arise in our businesses from the chaos that the world brings. We all know that even with the perfect plan, we still run into problems. It's how we deal with those problems that dictate the end results in our business.

An Existentialist Guide to Feeling Nothing

Image
I recently watched “ the greatest film of all time ,” and the most boring one. In retrospect, the title alone should have been a sufficient warning: Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles . Alas, I’m old enough to be a bit nostalgic about massive telephone address books. And massive it is. Clocking over 200 minutes, Chantal Akerman's 1975 dreary drama follows three days in the monotonous routine of Jeanne, a widow, a mother, and a prostitute. I watched Jeanne’s autopilot existence, until, staring at her back as she washes dishes, I decided to fast-forward a couple of minutes, only to discover she was still at it. And Jeanne is equally thorough when she’s busy baking, cleaning, folding laundry, or shining her son’s shoes. She speaks so scarcely and mechanically, that it’s impossible to detect any emotion or volition beyond her carefully controlled chores . Watching Jeanne Dielman is what the word “painstaking” was invented for. Chantal...

What Are SQL Stored Procedures and How Do You Create Them?

Image
Stored procedures: like functions for your SQL. A stored procedure is a batch of SQL statements created and stored on a database. You can reuse a stored procedure over and over again. A stored procedure can accept parameters, run a query, and return results. Many users can call a stored procedure and different applications can call it with different parameter values. What Are the Benefits of Using Stored Procedures? Apart from allowing multiple users and applications to reuse it, a stored procedure has other benefits. It is easy to modify. You can change a stored procedure when necessary and these updates will be reflected for all users. Furthermore, you don’t need to redeploy your application when you modify the stored procedure. It reduces network traffic because the server only passes the procedure’s name over the network and not the entire query. It improves database security since users don’t have direct access to tables. To make...
