Instead of asking, “How do I get people to spend more time with my brand?” ask, “How can my brand help people spend their time better?” In-person events can build stronger relationships than online engagement alone. Events, clubs, classes and recurring rituals can turn audiences into genuine communities. Social media, email and digital marketing still work. But we’re entering a period where attention is so constantly being fought…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Every dollar in an account is either working or waiting, and waiting isn’t free.

Any balance sitting well beyond your operating needs and emergency reserve is a candidate for redeployment, not a reason to feel behind.

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways A website is no longer a competitive advantage — it’s the starting point, and AI can now build one in minutes. As AI makes online content abundant, real differentiation comes from the systems, relationships, trust and expertise that AI can’t manufacture. I built my first website in 1999. I was just an art school kid teaching myself HTML in a bedroom. My competitive advantage was very simple: my sites looked better than the ones the programmers were making. Back when most business websites looked like spreadsheets with hyperlinks, one that appeared professionally designed communicated authority. Traffic and revenue followed.…

Giant fruit grower Driscoll’s is blue in the face over what it calls outright blueberry theft. Fifteen years after the company brought its blueberries to China, it’s filed over 20 lawsuits against Chinese companies accused of stealing greenhouse designs and the plants themselves, which are proprietary. It’s estimated that there are thousands of illegal hectares of blueberry farmland across the country, with thousands more likely to spring up. Stealing a licensed blueberry plant is not very difficult, according to The Wall Street Journal. It just requires nabbing plant cuttings and replanting them. Planasa, a Spanish western berry company, used private…
