Canceling Made Easy. In one of its more popular (if simple) rules, the Federal Trade Commission announced earlier this month that companies must now make canceling subscriptions as easy as enrolling in them, and the process must be transparent. The "Click To Cancel" rule clarifies that it should take the same number of clicks to subscribe and unsubscribe to a service or product, and that any in-person enrollment should have a way to unenroll online and over telephone. Of course, companies benefit from having customers on recurring payments, but let's be real—this is one of the clearest and most straightforward regulations we've seen.

Startup founders should fail more. As you keep delivering results, build an unshakable belief in yourself. Be delusional. Real growth happens when you think independently. Keep experimenting and pushing forward, even when you get knocked down. Failures aren’t setbacks, they’re your best teachers. They expose your weaknesses and show you where you need to improve. The biggest failure is not trying at all. The failure that doesn’t teach you will destroy you. It’s a curse to have everything go right the first time. Fail in a venturesome spirit. Every failure silences your ego and shows you the absolute truth of what needs to be done. Confidence isn’t about pride—it’s about having no doubts in your ability to figure things out. Find your calling, share it openly, and embrace your shortcomings. Because even when you fail, you’ve got everything to gain.
