The Helix Nebula, also known as NGC 7293, is a planetary nebula located about 690 light years from Earth in the constellation Aquarius. It is roughly 5.6 light years in diameter and has a complex, disk-like structure with tentacles pointing towards its central white dwarf star. The nebula's colors come from hydrogen which appears red and oxygen which is blue, and it has been observed from Earth for a long time but never examined closely until recent telescope images.
This document provides an overview of franchising and social franchising. It discusses the growth of franchising in the United States and around the world. It then defines franchising and the key elements of the franchise relationship between the franchisor and franchisee. The document outlines the types of franchise agreements and considerations for both franchisors and franchisees in setting up or purchasing a franchise. Common misconceptions about franchising are also addressed.
There are four main sources of business ideas according to research: spotting trends and anticipating their impact, identifying market niches, copying successful ideas from other countries, and taking a scientific approach to inventing new products. Another approach is franchising, where a business purchases the right to sell an established brand's products or services. Franchising offers benefits like lower risk and startup costs compared to independent businesses, but also drawbacks like high initial and ongoing costs and less freedom to operate independently of the franchisor.

"Illegible fonts, cheesy visuals, obscure charts : everyday, we all suffer from "Death by Powerpoint" syndrome.
But there's only a few tips and tools to know to overcome those setbacks, and to dazzle the audience with your next presentation.
Join us on the quest for the Holy Slide and you will discover the secrets of presentation design."
This list is more or less a curation of tips I've surfaced from my reading or research and from what I've observed from being around some incredible investors and successful entrepreneurs. Note, this advice is geared towards ideation through product-market fit level startups, but the life tips are universally applicable I would say.
When possible, I tried to make the tip "actionable", which I define as something that's able to be done;
or an action having practical value.
So, in no particular order, I give you the Startup and Life Tips for Entrepreneurs: a Journal of Thoughts...
