A Few Entrepreneurial Tips You Might Find Helpful

1) I called a place (store) and stated a scheduling problem. The rep said, "there's no place to notate that." If there's no conflict of interest, maybe AI can fix that.

2) Use a bot, not only to schedule calls and answer FAQs, etc. Program your bot to help with market research by asking about what led your customers to you. Don't flood, just get a couple answers.

3) Don't let one political side up-end the other on your property. I went to work once. A new boss told me not to say what my politics were. Another higher up manager with a guest or vendor told me I was a liberal who made conservatives look bad. False accusations. RINOs in my home state make themselves look bad by intentionally handicapping themselves and by following "rules" the other side doesn't.

Why would a boss do this stuff on his own property to employee, especially when all the locals yap about de-platforming and sexual harassment etc? 

Just like you want to be careful where you mention income or wealth inequality, you also want to be careful where / to whom you mention corporate malfeasance.

4) At Wendy's (hamburgers) the food workers use hamburger meat to fill the chili pot. This is a spectacular way to cut losses.

5) Funnel profit sharing to employee 401(k)s vested immediately and/or contribute towards their HSAs. After a few years of this, employees have a modicum of financial independence and the CONFIDENCE you'd want them to have.

App Idea

 The WSJ used to have a nice Market Data page.

Not just stock index movement, but commodities, global markets, widely held, and on and on.
