"Someone had told me that if you ever want to be acquired by a company, become a thorn in their side and they’ll buy you just to get rid of you. We actually became more like a dagger."

What ROI do #seed #investors seek when they fund a #startup ? #seedfunding https://lnkd.in/g_TSeN8

The proactive nature of today’s client means that they’re less interested in paying for compliance-based services, like tax returns and financial statements, and far more invested in services like tax planning and business advisory.

When does drive become delusion? I have followed Elizabeth Holmes for years and always believed in her and her mission (check out my stories). Am I wrong in doing so? I’m currently halfway through this HBO documentary entitled The Inventor: Out For Blood in Silicon Valley and haven’t changed my mind yet. Yes, there were absolutely flaws and the product wasn’t ready for market but was she really delusional? Did she really, purposefully, lie to the world? I’m not sure... What do you think? Blurb about the film: In 2004, Elizabeth Holmes dropped out of Stanford to start a company that was going to revolutionize healthcare. In 2014, Theranos was valued at $9 billion, making Holmes, who was touted as “the next Steve Jobs,” the youngest self-made female billionaire in the world. Just two years later, Theranos was cited as a “massive fraud” by the SEC, and its value was less than zero. Drawing on extraordinary access to never-before-seen footage and testimony from key insiders, director Alex Gibney will tell a Silicon Valley tale that was too good to be true. With all the drama of a real-life heist film, the documentary will examine how this could have happened and who is responsible, while exploring the psychology of deception. #startup #innovation #entrepreneurship #founder …see more

Missed my #letsgetradical live session on Tuesday with Scott Gallagher ? Here's a snippet: "If we can take away some of the time and the tedious tasks of doing payroll and payroll reporting, it puts the CPA back into a position of strength with their clients." You've heard me say that payroll is important now ... but it doesn't mean that *we* still need to do it. Catch the recording below to find out why.

“There was a sense, in my generation, that the search for the truth is one of the aspects of life that you want to embrace; that if there is no truth, then there is no direction, no purpose, no construct that you could use as a backstop to your own activities. If you can’t believe that there are some things that are true as opposed to things that are obviously false, then you don’t have a direction in your life.” Milton Glaser ‪ …see more

Should there be a “Chinese Wall” between third-party sales data and Amazon’s marketing group? The EU says yes. What do you say?

It imposes a requirement that we be 'professional,' which might sound inauthentic and deceptive, but can in truth provide a welcome alternative to the intractable difficulties thrown up by our deeper selves."

Let’s see how powerful LinkedIn can be. My Local store in Wilmslow, Cheshire was scammed and surely someone on here knows this guy. Does anybody recognise this guy? Thought he would be clever and try to pay for a packet of fags knowing his card would decline and then make a run for it. Drives a sky blue coloured volkswagon caddie reg number G2 AUC. If you know him let him know its been reported to the police together with images of his car and face. Other business be careful when accepting contact less transactions. Tap and run is a new craze so I'm told. Thanks …see more

So I hope you all have time to enjoy, reflect and, of course, look forward. To new beginnings. xx …see more
