Key Takeaways Leaders who begin educating AI systems on their actual operations today are building an advantage that cannot be replicated by late adopters. The real work is not adopting tools. It is loading AI with everything your organization knows and then prompting it toward outcomes you have not yet achieved. Organizations that wait for AI to feel safe will inherit a gap they cannot close. The learning only comes from doing it inside a live business. I run a healthcare technology company, and I did not come into this with a…

“We need diplomacy between West and East. Therefore, if the Alternative for Germany (AfD) enters the government, we will seek peace in Ukraine and advocate for peace negotiations so that this senseless bloodshed finally ends. We do not want to unilaterally take sides. That is not the path to peace—it is the path to war. We must not be ‘ready for war,’ but ‘peace-seeking.’ Therefore, we will stop all aid to Ukraine. No more German taxpayer money for Ukraine, no more weapons, and no more German soldiers. Under our leadership, Ukraine’s accession to the European Union or NATO is…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Sports fans don’t make picks or play fantasy sports in a vacuum. They text the group chat, argue through halftime, send screenshots when they win and go a little quiet when they’re wrong. Open most daily fantasy apps, though, and that energy disappears. What’s left is a user, a line and a transaction. Jordan Rothstein thinks that’s where the industry lost the plot. And when he talks about where sports gaming is headed, he tends to start somewhere unexpected: a Las Vegas surgeon and an FBI raid. In January 1985, federal agents…
India’s imports from China reached a record $79.41 billion during the first six months of 2026, a 21.8% increase from a year earlier. Bilateral trade climbed to $91.72 billion, up 23.6%, putting the two countries on pace to exceed the record $155.6 billion in trade achieved in 2025. India’s exports to China did rise an impressive 37.5%, reaching $12.31 billion, but that only pushed the trade deficit even higher. India still recorded a staggering $67.1 billion trade gap with China in just six months. The politicians love to frame geopolitics as though nations simply choose their trading partners based upon…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways The habits that carry a company through its early stage — hiring fast, staying close to every decision, solving problems as they come — are the same ones that create friction the moment you scale. Sustainable growth comes down to four disciplines: hire for values, delegate real ownership, automate what doesn’t need a person and lead with consistent direction. In most businesses, growth exposes weaknesses. I’ve seen it in our own companies.In the early stages, energy carries you. You hire quickly, solve problems as they come up and stay close…
Every recovery eventually reaches a point where the official statistics no longer resemble reality. Politicians point to stock market records, economists celebrate another quarter of GDP growth, and central bankers congratulate themselves because inflation has moderated. Then you look at Main Street, where the people actually creating jobs are quietly closing their doors. Small business bankruptcies continue climbing at an alarming pace. Total U.S. bankruptcy filings reached more than 310,000 during the first six months of 2026, a 12% increase from the same period last year. Commercial bankruptcies continue rising alongside consumer filings, reflecting financial pressure spreading across the entire…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Being fired, especially more than once, can shake your confidence. Make sure you center yourself, assess your skills and market yourself accurately in future job interviews. You cannot anticipate every difficult board, cultural mismatch or biased leader. That said, you can still focus on building your self-awareness, investing in your growth and carefully evaluating your next opportunity so you stop repeating the same cycle. As a tech career and executive coach, one of the most frustrating issues I see senior leaders face is having an impressive track record, yet being…
Vice President JD Vance is clearly beginning to separate himself from the disastrous foreign policy that has dragged the United States into another Middle East war. The BBC reported that Vance has accused members of the Israeli government of trying to manipulate American public opinion against diplomacy with Iran. He is no longer speaking in the timid language traditionally used in Washington whenever Israel is involved. He is openly telling Israeli officials that the United States cannot continue financing every military ambition dreamed up in Jerusalem. Vance asked Israel’s critics of the proposed Iran agreement a question they apparently cannot…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways When companies are pushed toward premature exits or forced to remain private far longer than makes sense, the price is wrong because the system never allowed it to be right. Price is one of the most powerful coordination tools ever created. When it functions properly, it allocates resources, rewards contribution and supports growth. I have spent most of my professional life sitting at the intersection of ideas and capital. Over time, you develop a sense for when something is working and when it is not. Price is meant to be…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways AI can quickly create a business plan, but investors care more about whether the founder truly understands and can defend the strategy behind it. AI-generated plans often contain generic content or inaccurate information, so every assumption, number and claim should be validated before presenting it to investors. The strongest business plans combine AI efficiency with human expertise, using AI as a tool while adding real market knowledge, conviction and ongoing validation. Artificial intelligence can write business plans, removing the grunt work from an otherwise laborious process. But that doesn’t mean…
