AdvertisementIn 2014, I started my career at AmazonI started at Amazon as a senior launch manager in the grocery delivery space. So, I left Amazon to work in HR at Blue Origin, another Jeff Bezos company. Previously in my career at Amazon, I had managed a maximum of three to four indirect reports. Although it was hard, I became a better manager, a better communicator, and a more creative and organized leader. My work felt bureaucratic, and I was so focused on staying on top of each little task that I wasn't contributing to things that were moving the needle.

Cole transitioned from a $26,000 salary to planning to retire at 45 through four phases. In 2012, I got my first job out of college as a social worker, earning $26,000. I moved into a part-time consulting role for my old company and went all-in on building out my financial coaching business, Money Essentials for Women. I've set myself up to retire at age 45 in 10 years, but transitioning from a $26,000 salary to an early retirement plan came in phases. I'm setting up additional income sources to make money when I'm not actively working on them.

☆ This startup used its own AI avatar technology, instead of a pitch deck, to help raise its Series B. Here's why.

Read previewA startup has showcased its AI platform by using it to pitch potential investors while trying to raise its Series B. These AI avatars can answer real-time questions, give presentations, and ask questions. Touchcast's platform allows people to ask these digital twins questions asynchronously. Since the launch of ChatGPT-3 in November 2022, startups creating AI avatars have caught investor attention. Segal said this investor frenzy was being driven by the "huge market potential" of AI avatar technology.

I started freelance writing and had less free time than everA few years before the pandemic, I started freelance writing as a side hustle. I learned to interview and started writing for publications I'd grown up reading. There are plenty of suggestions out there for curing burnout — I'd never have guessed starting a side hustle was one of them.

For Laroi, there is no clearly defined day or night. Sometimes he drives all night and sleeps all day; sometimes he sleeps all day and drives all night. One day a week, Sophie works late so she can meet with far-flung colleagues in real time. Now she has enough energy left at the end of the day to go grocery shopping and cook dinner. The time markers reflect the time of day when participants told an interviewer they would normally be doing the activity shown.
☆ I took a 6-month 'sabbatical' after months of cheap living while traveling. The best thing about the digital-nomad lifestyle is having options.

☆ Investor Jenny Harrington is finding consumer stocks to buy that are way too cheap even if there's a recession
  + stars: | 2022-12-06 | by ( Michelle Fox | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
In this environment, investors need to be very granular in their approach to the stock market, according to investor Jenny Harrington. "Everything in this market right now is moving asynchronously," Harrington said in an interview during the CNBC Financial Advisor Summit on Tuesday. While she is a dividend investor, she is also looking for value in this current market. "The share price has, I think, already discounted an incredibly weak consumer, trading at 10 times earnings," Harrington said. So those will actually become tail winds in next year earnings versus 2022 earnings."
☆ How to work smarter – not harder – everyday
  + stars: | 2022-10-31 | by ( Madison Coffelt | Created Slack With Insider Studios | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +7 min
When we work smarter, not harder, we can harness our work tools and use technology to our advantage. That flexibility makes space for new ways to work smarter, not harder. In short: Your digital HQ is a way to work, not a place to work. Teams working across various time zones can schedule messages so their colleagues get them when they are online and active. Anyone has the power to use no-code or low-code features in Slack to automate admin work and repetitive tasks, freeing up valuable chunks of time to work on more strategic and meaningful work.
☆ These cloud startups were pandemic darlings. Now the downturn is helping giants like Google and Microsoft gobble them up.

Productivity startups boomed as a result, but the downturn will give large suites an advantage. Only productivity tools that carve out new niches or address new challenges will have a chance. Startups building new categories are more likely to surviveWhile the downturn makes it harder for productivity and collaboration startups to grow, experts say it's not impossible. Many of the most popular productivity startups address collaboration problems that aren't solved by the existing software tools or are creating a new category of workplace tools. Companies like Miro, Figma, and Canva are creating a new category of visual collaboration tools aimed at remote teams.
