Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Most performance issues aren’t talent gaps — they’re communication gaps: vague expectations, unsafe environments and assumed understanding that was never confirmed. Three habits fix most of them: run new initiatives through five clarity questions, replace “any questions?” with “how do you see this working?” and hold a weekly check-in on priorities, obstacles and support needed. Most leaders assume performance problems start with talent. When a project misses the mark or engagement drops, the instinct is to question whether the right people are in the right seats. After years of leading…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Companies where both the owner and the business are visible to AI saw a 2.5% year-over-year traffic increase, while those where both were invisible dropped more than 28% — a 30-point swing driven entirely by whether AI could identify a credible human behind the company. Closing the gap isn’t a social media or SEO problem but an entity recognition one, solved by showing up in the third-party sources AI trusts: published articles, podcast interviews, speaking engagements, industry directories and local press. You’re doing the work. The phones are ringing and…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways The strategist prompt that turns any AI tool into a decision-making partner for the calls that actually drive revenue How to map your own lead-to-payment pipeline and spot the steps AI can run for under $100 a month. The sorting prompt that shows you which roles to never hire for — and which must stay human. A cryotherapy franchise owner took her business from $300,000 to $1.1 million in a single year. No investors. No tech background. No 20-person team. She did it by spending a third of her day…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Before we went remote, the office was running a relationship-maintenance operation none of us noticed — and when it collapsed, we didn’t realize it until our clients started feeling like strangers. I stopped pretending remote work is neutral: it has real costs that fall unevenly on client-facing firms, and until you name that honestly, you can’t actually fix it. Running a small accounting firm in 2025 means answering a question nobody has fully solved: how do you build a business clients trust deeply when half your team is working from…

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is keeping its momentum from a massive opening weekend as it enters its third week in theaters. New Imax screenings of the film are in such high demand that people are scouring social media to find out about new ticket drops for showings at all hours of the day and night—even 6 a.m. AMC Theatres said The Odyssey—which was shot entirely with Imax 70 mm film cameras, and meant to be viewed on Imax 1.43:1 screens—continues to break box-office records, making the film the “most successful IMAX run in AMC’s history” in just its first two…
Wade Oney started as a Domino’s store assistant in 1981. Today he owns 112 restaurants across three brands, including 96 Papa Johns locations, and he’s letting his employees in on the big picture success. Bam-Bam Pizza Inc., his franchise group, generates $160 million in annual revenue, Franchising.com reports. Oney spent over a decade climbing the ranks at Domino’s before Papa Johns lured him away to help grow the then-emerging brand, eventually making him COO. He stepped down in 2000 to focus on being a franchisee full time, scaling from 35 stores to 96 today. His signature program is letting managers,…
In 1975, a 17-year-old named Peter Cancro bought his first sub shop in Point Pleasant, New Jersey. On Wednesday, that shop’s parent company went public at a $7.3 billion valuation. Jersey Mike’s and its backers raised $1 billion in an IPO priced at $23 a share, more than 10 times oversubscribed, Bloomberg reports. The chain now has more than 3,300 US and Canadian locations, plus an expansion deal with Cancro to open roughly 300 more across the UK and Ireland. Revenue grew 11% to $724 million last year, and Jersey Mike’s US sales growth has outpaced rivals like Jimmy John’s,…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key takeaways When buyers ask AI platforms hyper-specific, bottom-of-funnel questions, the models often hedge, hallucinate, or contradict themselves — because the authoritative source material simply isn’t there. The founders who publish clear, structured answers into those gaps first will become the default response AI gives for years to come. Identifying the gap between what people want to know and the information available to them is the game — and good SEO practitioners have been playing it for years. Generative AI is just the next evolution of that process. Traditional search shows you…
New York officials sued prediction market platform Kalshi for potentially billions of dollars on Friday, calling it an “illegal, unlicensed gambling operation” that includes sports wagering as the state seeks to halt its operations and force the company to forfeit its profits. New York joins a growing number of states filing lawsuits against Kalshi and other companies in a dispute with President Donald Trump’s administration over who regulates the fast-growing prediction market. Kalshi and other platforms argue they are federally licensed and regulated, and states have no authority to govern them. “It’s sad to see this type of political theater from…
