It is the thing I struggle with the most. I usually get up grab a cup of coffee and get back to work but it doesn't always do the trick for me. So what are your tactics?

I asked people what the last presentation they prepared using PowerPoint and they all said "Do you still use PowerPoint? What a shame!" :D Let me correct it this way: "What was the last presentation you prepared (eg. keynote speech, progress report, sales deck, etc.), and which presentation tool did you use?"

I wish someone had told me how much time it would take. I was so naive when I started my company, thinking that it would be easy to get off the ground and make a name for myself. What I didn't realize until later is that there's so much work involved in building a business and so many things that can go wrong. I'm grateful for my experience now, but if I could go back and tell myself something about starting a company, it would be: "Don't expect things to go smoothly. And if you had to pivot... PIVOT!"

The winners of the Golden Kitty Awards have been announced. You helped decide who should walk away with our coveted Golden Kitty Statue across 24 different categories.
