That’s the advice of Dave Peterson, who says that this is exactly the strategy that made Uber so successful. In 2008, Travis Kalanick and Garrett Camp had trouble getting a cab on a snowy night, and came up with an app to help them get a ride.

by I aim to get on the treadmill 3 times a week. Do I do it? Well, there are some days when my schedule tramples that plan, and other days when I just can’t force myself into it.

Early on in my career I spent six weeks in an ad agency creative department. I was a junior account executive, and I’d been sent downstairs to the creative floor to learn about what they did. It would be generous to say that I didn’t set the world on fire as a creative. In fact, in my entire time there, I came up with precisely one decent ad idea. So, you can imagine how gutted I was when the creative team I was working with shot it down in flames.

There are many ways that banks and financial institutions evaluate a business in terms of its creditworthiness. For example, one of the most important measures is cash flow. A business with a strong cash flow typically scores better in the creditworthiness department than one which is cash-strapped. Lenders will always look to the cash flows to see whether the business will be able to cover the interest repayments on the loans and maintain profitable operations simultaneously.
