It’s March. Green everywhere. Shamrocks in store windows. Leprechauns guarding pots of gold at the end of the rainbow. Luck is fun. It’s just not how well-run businesses actually operate. Because no business owner would ever say: “Our hiring strategy is whoever walks in the door.” “Our sales plan is hope customers find us.” “Our accounting approach is the numbers probably ...
Spring break gets a bad reputation. College kids. Questionable decisions. Stories that start with "we thought it was a good idea at the time…" But adults make plenty of spring break mistakes, too. They're just quieter. And they usually involve technology. You're trying to be present with your family. But work doesn't completely stop. So you rush. You ...
At KAMIND IT, we frequently hear a common misconception about Microsoft 365 licensing: “If I buy one E5 license, the whole tenant gets E5 features. Some of our Basic users seem to get Conditional Access—so is that allowed?” It’s a reasonable question, given how complex licensing has become. However, the answer is clear: Microsoft licenses features per user—not ...
If you're a business owner, you've had this exact thought: "Why does everything take longer than it should?" Not because your people are bad. Not because they don't care. But because every process has extra steps baked in that nobody asked for. Those steps usually come from tech friction: tools that don't connect, networks that drag, access ...
By February, the "new year glow" wears off and reality kicks in. The inbox is still overflowing, meetings still multiply like gremlins and you're still doing too much with too little time. Meanwhile, AI is everywhere. Every app you open is screaming some version of: "Add AI!" "Automate with AI!" "Use AI or die!" And you're ...
It's February. Love is in the air. People are buying chocolate, making dinner reservations, pretending they like rom-coms again. So, let's talk about relationships. Have you ever had a tech relationship that felt like a bad date? The kind where you call for help and get silence. Or the “fix” works for a day and then ...
It's February. Tax season is ramping up. Your accountant is getting busier. Your bookkeeper is pulling documents. Everyone's thinking about W-2s, 1099s and deadlines. Here's the part nobody puts on the calendar: the first real tax-season headache usually isn't a form. It's a scam. And there's one that shows up before April even gets close because it's ...
Millions of people are doing Dry January right now. They're cutting the one thing they know isn't good for them because they want to feel better, work better, and stop pretending "I'll start Monday" is a plan. Your business has a Dry January list too. It's just made of tech habits instead of cocktails. You know the ones. Everyone ...
January is a magical month. For about three weeks, everyone believes they're a new person. Gyms are packed. Salads are eaten on purpose. Planners get opened. Then February shows up with a baseball bat. Business resolutions go the exact same way. You start the year fired up. Growth targets. New hires. Maybe even a fresh budget line called "Technology Improvements ...
