It can be tempting to cut corners when laying the foundation of your business. Most new business owners try to pinch pennies where they can—even in areas they shouldn’t. For almost all businesses, making money is a priority, but how you manage that money is equally important. When you try to manage the accounting and bookkeeping for your business yourself, you may run into trouble.

Disasters, wars, and pandemics should be times in which everyone works together against the common threat. We’re all in the same boat, so to speak. Except we’re not in the same boat. Some have been able to work at home, have food delivered, and largely avoid the threat. Others—including those who made it possible for the first group to stay safe—remained exposed.

Identifying the markets that are going to be lucrative for your business will help you to define your niche and—more importantly—nail it. It’s tempting to try to reach every customer who could possibly be interested in your products, but taking the time to find your perfect fit will help you to iron out your offering and help your business to be more scalable.

$126 billion of value creation. This is the amount of money that Amazon delivered to its prime members in 2020, according to Jeff Bezos. He got to this number by doing some arithmetic on the amount of time people spend on Amazon versus going to a store. I don't even view Amazon as a store. People go to a store to shop. I go to Amazon to buy. They say that 28% of purchases on Amazon happen in three minutes or less.

In 22 days, it was 30% below. And in just 27 days, it was all over. The bottom was in. To call this unusual is an understatement. You can see in the chart below that most bear markets take literally hundreds of days to bottom.
