8 MAJOR lies you've been told about building your career ---- Original Content Creator: Tobi Oluwole (Give him a follow) ------- 1. “Don’t apply if you don’t qualify” Job descriptions are a wish list. If you meet 50-80% of the requirements there’s no harm in trying. Someone might actually give you a shot. 2. “Your work will speak for you” Doing good work just means you get more work to do. If you want to grow in your career you need to advocate for yourself & learn to influence people. 3. “You deserve an annual raise ” Probably true. But most companies today won’t just give you a raise. It’s your job to record your impact and justify why you should be earning more. 4. “Your loyalty will be rewarded” Unfortunately, you don’t get a trophy for sacrificing your wellbeing to stay at a company. There’s no reward for loyalty. Keep looking for opportunities. 5. “Job hopping hurts your career” The data shows that job hopping will accelerate your career and income. Stop worrying about people’s opinions of you. Change is good. 6. “A 9-5 means job security” It’s true that a bi-weekly pay check provides stability. But it’s your job to save and invest to provide real security for you and your family. 7. “Companies hate negotiating” This is false. Most companies have a range in mind and they rarely start with their best offer. Never be afraid to ask for what you believe you deserve. 8. “Quitting is a sign of weakness” There’s more than one way to get to the dream career and life that you want. Knowing when to quit is a sign of wisdom. Protect your mental health. Don't believe these lies.

Here, the CEO thinks: - It's not fast ROI → so they don't allocate resources - It's not strategic → so they try to look for hacks But a content strategy is strategic and has ROI. - It increases authority, trust, and halo effect. - It generates inbound leads, facilitate outbound. - It accelerates sales cycles and increase closing rates.

10 Key Financial Health Checks for Businesses --- Original Content Creator: Oana Labes, MBA, CPA (Give her a follow) ---- How to Analyze a Balance Sheet in 10 Simple Steps 1?? Cash Balances & Liquidity Start by reviewing cash and short-term investments. Healthy cash reserves provide a cushion for covering operations and short-term obligations. 2?? Current vs. Non-Current Assets Compare current (short-term) and non-current (long-term) assets. A low proportion of liquid assets could indicate difficulty covering short-term needs. 3?? Accounts Receivable & Collection Efficiency Analyze receivables for rising balances or slow collections which could indicate collectability issues. Review Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) for collection efficiency and compare trends and benchmarks. 4?? Inventory Levels & Operational Efficiency Excess inventory may signal overproduction; low inventory could mean supply issues. Check Inventory Turnover to assess inventory management. 5?? PP&E Growth & Investment Quality Growth in Property, Plant & Equipment (PP&E) may indicate expansion. Evaluate if investments align with revenue growth to avoid poor capital allocation. 6?? Short-Term Debt & Liquidity Risk Rising short-term debt can signal cash flow strain. Compare debt levels with cash flow trends to assess repayment capacity. 7?? Deferred Liabilities & Long-Term Obligations Examine deferred tax liabilities and pension obligations. Understand their impact on future cash flows and long-term planning. 8?? Equity Changes: Issuances & Buybacks Issuing shares raises capital but dilutes ownership. Buybacks may signal confidence but could be unsustainable depending on how they are funded. 9?? Leverage & Debt Coverage Evaluate leverage through Debt-to-Equity and Debt Service Coverage Ratios. Ensure debt is manageable with operating cash flows. ?? Retained Earnings & Capital Structure Growing retained earnings indicate reinvestment of profits. Stagnant or negative retained earnings may signal poor performance or excessive dividends. Align debt and equity mix with short- and long-term business goals.

Invest in Talent Before It's Too Late --- Original Content Creator: Malay Matalia (Give him a follow) ---- The best time to invest in talent was yesterday. Start today, reap tomorrow.

Quiet Withdrawal → Less engagement in meetings → Fewer voluntary contributions → Sudden schedule changes 2?? Career Conversations → They start asking about growth paths → They mention feeling undervalued → They compare their role to market standards 3?? The Invisible Costs → Replacing talent costs 150-200% of their salary → Team morale drops when top performers leave → Institutional knowledge walks out the door McKinsey found: Top talent stays for recognition first, compensation second. The best leaders: → Have annual compensation reviews → Recognize contributions in real-time → Promote proactively, not defensively "Don't wait until the exit interview to find out what would have kept them."

How Great Founders Disagree Without Exploding --- Original Content Creator: Rachel Turner (Give her a follow) ---- Most founders explode when they disagree. But here's what works instead: Instead of: "You never deliver on time!" Try: "Let's look at what happened with these specific deadlines." Instead of: "This won't work." Try: "What's the biggest risk you see here?" Instead of: "My goal is to fix this NOW." Try: "Our goal is X. Let's map the steps to get there." Instead of: "Let me explain why I'm right." Try: "Let me walk through my reasoning." Instead of: "Fine, do it your way." Try: "Let's test this approach and track results." The difference isn't about being "nice." It's about being clear, considered, and solutions-focused. Your team needs you to communicate with purpose, not just react with emotion.
