If something is a paradox, then it’s a puzzle, a mystery, an enigma, an inconsistency . Which makes me think: What happens to us, and our businesses, when we try to live with a paradox?

Life’s first moments leave indelible marks on the memory. From baby steps to the first day at school….from the first kiss at a dance to the firstborn in your family, you certainly have strong feelings about your own personal milestones. So it makes sense that with increasing numbers of people starting businesses, many would recall business milestones such as their first partnerships. Many connections are formed over Skype, email and Google Docs. And it makes sense that someone would develop a book focused on a specific first step in starting a business: working with someone new for the first time. Brian Tolle, a management consultant who specializes in team dynamics, change management and collaboration, has written Shortcut: Getting Through to People Who Slow You Down to help us get better at working in teams

And while the unemployment rate may be hovering at just over 9 percent, the news about the percentage of freelancers finding work is much more positive. In fact, as The Christian Science Monitor points out, it’s been estimated that freelance roles will make up half of all the new jobs created during the period of economic recover y (whenever that starts)
