One of the most challenging quarters for business leaders is often Q4. There is often a rush to close out the year’s expenses, plan year-end initiatives and marketing campaigns, and coordinate holiday PTO.
Even though Q4 is sure to be a busy season, it’s also a great time to do some business “housekeeping” and check in on annual goals that haven’t been completed. Here, eight Young Entrepreneur Council members each share one item that’s always included on their year-end checklist.
YouTube Unveils New Features for Healthcare Professionals
The health product features were launched in the United States last year and include health source information panels which help viewers identify videos from authoritative sources. There are also health content shelves which highlight videos from such sources when a viewer searches for specific health topics.
A Wider Group of Healthcare Channels
The YouTube Health department believes the expansion of the health product availability will help doctors, nurses, mental health professionals and healthcare information providers to bring high quality health information into a space that people visit throughout their day.
Company leadership has a major impact on employee satisfaction and retention. Instead of scaring your top talent away, follow these tips to be a great boss.
Horrible Bosses might have been an entertaining comedy, but if you’ve ever worked for a bad boss before, you probably found yourself empathizing with Jason Sudeikis, Charlie Day, and Jason Bateman’s characters when they decided to, uh, murder their bosses.
Okay, so maybe murder is a little extreme when it comes to dealing with a bad boss, but quitting is definitely a viable option for most employees. When surveyed by GoodHire, 82% of American workers said they would potentially quit their job because of a bad manager. And since employee retention is a key element to company success, it’s important you put in the effort to be a good boss to your employees. Also, you probably don’t want to risk getting murdered.
A favorite pastime of a certain subset of cinephiles is to theorize, speculate, and even wager on who will become the next James Bond. Seriously, it’s right there in the sports books next to the horse races and the billion-to-one bet that the Sacramento Kings will ever make the playoffs again.
But what is it, precisely, that has so many of us so invested? If the oo7 movies themselves tend to be more or less the same, employing action/spy genre tropes with the formal discipline of a sonnet, why does it really matter who steps into the bespoke menswear and wields the Walther?
Speculating which prospective actor feels enough like past Bonds to play the role is the wrong game. The question in determining who should inherit the role is, what should Bond be? And for that, we must take a tour through previous Bonds to examine what each embodied for his time. Only then might we also answer the question of which actor portrayed the best 007, if such a thing as “best” can really be judged.
The economic situation at the moment is fluctuating all the time and the threat of inflation is an ever-present issue. Of course, inflation isn’t necessarily a bad thing. When prices go up, businesses often need more workers, and that means higher wages. Government benefits may also attract cost-of-living increases. But a lower rate of inflation leads to a lower interest rate, and that means if your money is in a savings account, it’s much more difficult to earn a high yield.
It’s impossible for you to control inflation, however, there’s no need to allow it erode the money you’ve saved. If you’re sensible about where your money is put and watch your expenses, you should find that you manage to have inflation protection and minimize any damage caused by inflation.
If you have savings, you’re probably worrying about how you can best protect your money from rising prices, so below are a few top tips that will help you keep your savings safe. Before we get into the tips, if you want to save money on your next shopping, make sure to check Latest Deals.

Facebook’s parent company Meta is reportedly planning to begin large-scale lay-offs this week that will affect thousands of employees.
US media reported at the weekend that the job cuts could be announced as early as Wednesday.
During Meta’s disappointing third quarter results, chief executive Mark Zuckerberg said staffing might fall.
“In 2023, we’re going to focus our investments on a small number of high-priority growth areas,” he said.
Meta has about 87,000 employees worldwide across its different platforms, which include Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp.
Binance’s CEO and founder Changpeng Zhao made headlines outside his typical wheelhouse of web3 as an investor in Elon Musk’s Twitter buyout. Zhao, who put in $500 million, told an audience at Web Summit in Lisbon, Portugal this week that he would consider joining the social media company’s board if Musk asked him to do so.
But why is he eager to get involved with the messy process of running a social media company when that seemingly has little to do with crypto, Binance’s core business? Essentially, what’s in it for the exchange?
SINCE THE 1950S, the company Pantone has helped designers match the colors they see onscreen to what they see in the real world. This color standardization process means that, for example, a poster made in Adobe InDesign looks exactly the same when it’s printed out as a giant billboard. And it worked just fine—until last week, when everything went dark.
Scores of Photoshop and Illustrator users who have used certain Pantone color collections in their works have recently been confronted with the fallout of a disagreement between Adobe and Pantone. The result? Where once there were vibrant hues there is now only the color black.
No wonder, the demand to pursue entrepreneurship has been rising in recent years. Around 5.4 million new businesses have been registered in 2021. Besides, 78% of small businesses say that they are profitable. Although statistics show that about 20% of new businesses fail within the first two years, the desire to become a successful entrepreneur is increasing constantly.
However, there is no specific personality or demographic profile that makes a successful entrepreneur. Some of the entrepreneurship skills needed to succeed include basic money management skills, having a growth mindset, networking, etc. While these are common skills, let’s discuss some of the uncommon ones that not many entrepreneurs bother to develop.
Adapting yourself to the constantly changing needs of the market is what makes an entrepreneur successful. Adaptability is an important feature that most business owners lack. Besides, it can lead to making unfavorable decisions for the business and might attract consequences.
Google Hangouts, a text, video and voice chat app built into Gmail, is finally being shut down today. As announced earlier this year, Google is switching Hangouts users over to Google Chat, the company’s Slack-like instant messaging app for businesses.
Starting today, November 1, the Google Hangouts web app is no longer available. This was the last Hangouts offering available to users. The Android and iOS apps died in July of this year.
Hangouts had an arguably slow death, with Google allowing users to migrate over to Chat in 2021. The company announced in June 2022 that it would prompt Hangout users to move to Chat in Gmail or the app.
