Most hardships are best survived by preparation. How to prepare? It depends on the context and goals.
For both home and business there is insurance of different types. This could be a financial instrument or just an ample supply of food.
What happens when it is too late to prepare for the current event? Prepare for the next event and the learning will likely be applicable to helping you survive. In general acting quickly and decisively is best. I am happy to help you come up with a plan if you provide further details.
Study, study, study...
Life inevitably presents challenges, from financial strain to fractured relationships and stagnant careers. These hardships, diverse and impactful, necessitate resilience and proactive strategies to overcome.
However, simply facing hardship "bravely" isn't enough. It's crucial to adopt a problem-solving approach that seeks understanding and action.
Imagine finding yourself trapped at a stagnant income level despite your best efforts. Instead of succumbing to frustration, the key lies in systematic introspection and reevaluation. Delve deep:
Analyze the situation: Identify the factors preventing your income growth. Are there skill gaps limiting your opportunities? Market shifts affecting your industry? Personal habits hindering productivity?
Seek diverse perspectives: Consult mentors, peers, or even career coaches for objective insights and potential blind spots.
Embrace continuous learning: Upskill yourself through courses, workshops, or networking to stay relevant and expand your capabilities.
Explore alternative paths: Consider lateral moves, career pivots, or even launching your own venture. Broaden your options and embrace adaptability.
Remember: This isn't about blind bravery, but about strategic courage. It's about facing the storm head-on, equipped with critical thinking, unwavering perseverance, and a willingness to adapt. By actively understanding your challenges and implementing well-informed solutions, you can transform hardship into a catalyst for growth and navigate towards a brighter future.

What's the right stock compensation package for an advisor board?
Most advisors get between .25% to 1%. 1% assumed they are VERY important and will be active in either recruiting or raising capital (2 of the most important areas). Advisors don't do it for the equity - at least they shouldn't - what they want more than anything is recognition from you publicly that they've been helpful to you + feedback loop (follow up) that you're listening and implementing their feedback. Hope that helps.DM

Does anyone know a simple game or activity to teach leaders how to delegate?
Try designing an activity where the leader has to describe to his team members how to build something or complete a certain task, with his back facing the team so he can't see what they're doing. Succeeding in this type of activity will require that the leader is able to use clear communication without being directly involved or micromanaging the situation. It will also require trust from both parties, and will force the team members to work together & help each other as they try to work out the specifics of carrying out the task. You can follow the activity with questions about what the leader did well and what he could have done better, and also what was frustrating for the leader. Push them to articulate how this activity translates to work in their organization. Here's a great example of this activity with a bit more detail: https://prezi.com/i1w8-bnyso-l/activity-to-teach-delegation/SB

Is GPA reflective of the success of an entrepreneur?
No. GPA is a performance measure for academic pursuits. Memorization, rote, and perhaps a little critical thinking. It's the real world out here, unsafe and prone to sudden breakdown. Your ability to interact with people, deal positively with the unexpected, and handle ongoing stress are far more important than regurgitation of some process upon command. In the real world, you can always pay someone to learn the thing. Or take the time to look the thing up yourself. Memorization is not important. Problem-solving is. Frankly if you were too methodical a person, I'd be more concerned about your entrepreneurial future than if you're spinny and prone to getting struck by new ideas. But any type of person can be an entrepreneur. The key issue is whether you can handle the stress. And no school can prepare you for that--even the one I went to, that made us wade through 10 and 11 courses a term, resulting in a 40% student failure rate. Entrepreneurship is more than just hard work. Hard work is easy. If that's all it took, many more people would be rich. But the universe doesn't care how hard you work...nor how hard your competitors are working, either. Remember that on your journey.JK

I see that most of the successful people in the world had mentors that contributed to their success. How do I find one if its so important?
I mentor Startups and Business Leaders and of course was mentored myself in years past. The best way to find a mentor is to first know who you are. What are your goals, your unfinished challenges and projects? Where do you fall short in your own estimation? Generate these notes and form lists. I can help you with this part of your journey. Now we look for people that succeeded in those areas. I've found mentors and peers through a variety of places - we had shared connections (or none at all) on LinkedIn, I took part in LinkedIn discussion groups and commented on people's ideas, I sent cold emails and made phone calls to people I found interesting thereof. The weirdest place was guests on my favorite podcast or radio show, or even local TV. These are prominent people - local government officials, University Administrators, Business Owners, Entrepreneurs - but not too prominent that they can't take a call to help someone. Pay a sincere compliment and sincerely ask for help. Show you are driven and want to be someone. I can help you understand this more, and in any case, best of luck on this path.AB

How do you differentiate yourself from your peers?
Hey, This is a great question that can be answered with many answers. Simply, and as cliche as it is, it is to believe in yourself and promote your true self. Simon Sinek wrote a book called "Start with WHY" and it is about finding out WHY you do things and start with telling people why you do things instead of what you do. Mostly everyone promotes WHAT they do and HOW they are different from everyone else who does the same thing they do. I firmly believe Sinek is correct when he says to start with telling people WHY you do what you do then tell them how you do it. Once you start to apply this to everyday life, you will notice yourself become different from your peers. It will be subtle but this is a way to stay true to who you are and what you believe and you can be a leader with that. Good luckAJ
