Grant Thornton Argentina has appointed Leonardo Fraga as Managing Partner, effective October 1, 2026, and is widening its sustainability, compliance and cybersecurity services. The firm, which pairs more than 50 years in the Argentine market with a global network, makes the move as it marks 25 years representing Grant Thornton in the country. New heads […]
It is a Sunday evening and you are dreading the morning again. Not the workload, which you can handle, but the sameness of it. You have been good at this job for fifteen years and you can picture the next fifteen with no surprises in them. Then the thought you keep pushing away comes back: […]
The email from HR arrives on a Friday afternoon. Your last day is in three weeks, and in the attachment there is a line about what happens to your 401k. Within a day, somebody in your network has suggested an advisor who can “help with the rollover.” Hiring a financial advisor for 401k decisions can […]
The biggest client calls at nine on a Monday to say they are leaving. By ten, two things need to happen. Someone has to work out what the lost revenue does to payroll, which projects pause and who tells the team what. And someone has to stand in front of that team and give them […]
You open a document to write one paragraph. Four minutes later you are reading an email you did not need to read, with two new tabs open and the paragraph unwritten. If that sounds like most of your working day, you are in good company, and the problem is fixable. Learning how to increase attention […]
Revenue is the number owners talk about. Margin is the number that decides whether the business survives a bad quarter. So what is a good profit margin for a small business? As a working rule, a net margin under 5% is thin, around 10% is healthy, and 20% or more is strong. The real answer […]
Somewhere in the second year of a business, the owner buys a book because something is breaking. Cash is tight, a hire went wrong, or every decision still runs through one inbox. The right book at that moment is worth more than a consultant. The wrong one costs a weekend and hands you a new […]
A few years ago Grammarly was the obvious answer to messy writing. Then AI assistants arrived that could draft a whole email, rewrite a paragraph in any tone and fix grammar on request. So the question changed. Is Grammarly worth it when a chatbot can write your first draft? For some people it still is, […]
Most people who want more money never ask for it. They wait for the annual review, accept the standard increase and tell themselves that good work gets noticed. Sometimes it does. Usually it gets noticed at the standard rate. Learning how to ask for a raise is mostly about preparation, because the conversation itself is […]
You said yes to the extra project on Tuesday. On Wednesday you covered a colleague’s client call, and on Thursday you stayed until nine rewriting a deck that was never yours. Nobody asked you to feel resentful about any of it. You just do. If you want to know how to stop being a people […]
The offer email arrives. The number is fine, maybe slightly less than you hoped, and the recruiter is waiting for an answer. Most people say yes. Knowing how to negotiate salary at this exact point is worth more than at any other moment in the […]
The busiest office workers are interrupted every two minutes during core hours. That figure comes from Microsoft’s own data on how people use its software, and anyone who runs a team will recognise it. Most productivity hacks are written for a calendar you control. The […]
The alarm goes off at six. You hit snooze twice, get up at half past, and spend the first hour of the day feeling like someone else is driving. Most advice on how to become a morning person starts with the alarm: set it earlier […]
A project lands that your team cannot carry. The product launch is in four months, the two engineers you need do not exist on your payroll, and a permanent hire will take most of that time just to find. Staff augmentation is the usual answer: […]
Most people meet Alex Hormozi through a video clip: a muscular man in a T-shirt explaining, with some impatience, why your business is not making money. The books are better than the clips. Alex Hormozi books are short, blunt manuals on three problems every business […]
Most of the decisions that shape a company are made on an ordinary afternoon, between two other meetings, by someone who is slightly tired. Decision making in business mostly happens in small moments: a yes sent from a phone, a hire approved because the role […]
