Solar Storms And 13 Other Unusual Risks That Should Have You Freaking Out This Year
Risk management is a part of our everyday lives. Everyone knows to look both ways before crossing the street. Most also know to diversify their investment portfolios to limit the impact of a stock market crash.
But, what about the less obvious risks?
On Monday morning, a solar flare erupted sending large amounts of radiation to earth. Flares have the effect of disrupting satellite communication and causing radio interference. This recent flare forced some airplanes to adjust their flight plans.
The World Economic Forum recently published its list of 50 Global Risks of 2012. This list includes many well-known risks like fiscal imbalances, carbon emissions, and income disparity.
But it also includes unusual ones like solar flares.

How to Use Email to Transform Leads Into Sales
Let's start with some common sense: don't spam your leads. Lead nurturing is a powerful tool for driving leads further down your funnel and delivering more qualified leads to your sales team. The grand, utopian vision of lead nurturing is that you can take a large group of early-stage leads, send them a series of deeper funnel offers, and separate the sales-ready leads from the tire kickers without wasting valuable man hours.
The reality, more often than not, is that marketers misuse lead nurturing to unintentionally spam their leads or drive them out of the sales funnel entirely. So let's examine how you can create an effective lead nurturing email flow that engages your leads and pushes them closer to a purchasing decision.

5 Predictions for Online Data in 2012
Josh Jones-Dilworth is the founder and CEO of Jones-Dilworth, Inc., a public relations consultancy focused on bringing early-stage technologies to market.
In the spirit of the new year, I’ve determined my online data predictions for 2012. And because I’m attempting to make this an annual experiment, let’s begin my looking back at how my 2011 predictions shook out.
1. Personal data management matures into an industry. I’ll admit the prediction was largely a fail. Ambitious startups like Singly + The Locker Project got off the ground, but did not pick up steam. Many new, related startups are in the works, but none have even come close to the goal of managing one’s data the way he manages his health or wealth, for instance. An end-to-end platform may emerge, but it will take time.

5 Questions to Ask Before Starting Your Own Business
I just read Carol Roth's The Entrepreneur Equation. Every budding entrepreneur should read this book before throwing away the 9-to-5 (or 9-to-9) job and working for themselves.
Carol's 280-plus page book clearly lays out what it takes to be an entrepreneur. It asks the tough questions you should ask yourself before you decide if being an entrepreneur is for you. The book helps you answer these five basic questions.
- What is your motivation?
- Is this the right time?
- Do you have the right personality?
- What is the business opportunity?
- Have you assessed the risks and rewards?
The Dismal Outlook for 2012
Peter T. Treadway
January 1, 2012
• The Euro – I’ve been a big fan of the euro. The world needs the euro as a second reserve currency after the dollar. The renminbi just isn’t yet ready for prime time. And the euro makes so much sense for an ever more economically and financially integrated Europe. But the Europeans have managed to do everything wrong in response to the crisis. The list goes on and on. My recommendation was to let each nation be responsible for its own fiscal integrity. National defaults should be accepted as defaults by states and provinces were accepted for the US and Canada. That’s not what the Europeans have done. German Chancellor Merkel’s attempt to force fiscal responsibility on member states is a political nonstarter. The European Central Bank (ECB), regardless of what it says, is printing money to tidy over the Italian and Spanish huge 2012 borrowing needs. Talk German, act Italian, is the ECB mantra. The plan to do three year repos with the banks so that they can buy their home country’s bonds is a cynical repudiation of bank risk management principles, a debauching of the euro itself and to some extent a protectionist scheme that will encourage a sort of “beggar thy neighbor” approach to banking where banks only loan to their own governments. The banks need capital, not high risk lending schemes. Credit is going to be scarce in Europe in 2012.
The 10 Biggest Risks The World Is Facing In 2012
Major obstacles await investors in the year ahead, with "political risks dominat[ing] global headlines in a way we’ve not experienced in decades," according to Eurasia Group's President Ian Bremmer and Head of Research David Gordon.
And with the news media jumping to discuss the effects of every headline, they write in a report out this morning, the biggest challenge for investors will be determining which risks are relevant and which are not.
They spell out the ten big issues you should be watching for this year—and the four you should probably ignore.
