It’s entirely possible we’re making business planning way too complicated. Don’t get me wrong —  business planning  is incredibly important, and you need to dedicate time and resources to making sure you’re ready to rock and roll on your launch date. But investors don’t want to see or hear a 20-minute pitch. They don’t want to read a 40-page business plan. And they don’t want to sit through any more than  10 PowerPoint slides . We know this, and yet when you’re super excited about your idea, you just want to tell the world! Often in painstaking detail. Resist the urge to overshare in your business plan. Get right to the heart of what it is that makes you different , and what’s going to make you successful. Get to the point of your plan. A young entrepreneur whose business plan hit Reddit recently did just that, and you have to admire her ability to cut right to the chase. Nine-year old Rylee’s mother found the business plan in her daughter’s backpack, as the...

"Every time a famous minority make it they throw salt in the game." Waka Flocka  thinks all of Cosby's damning accusations are part of a huge conspiracy.  The most highly publicized event of last week was the arrest of Bill Cosby. The 78-year-old television icon was charged with three counts of aggravated assault stemming from a 2004 incident when he allegedly drugged and sexually violated Andrea Constand -- one of at least 50 women to accuse Cosby of sexual assault. Though Cosby was immediately released on $1 million bail, many viewed his arrest as a victory for all the women whose attacks had previously gone unpunished. Not Waka Flocka, who feels "somebody is framing Bill Cosby."  After the controversial tweet, author and professor Roxane Gay responded to Waka by telling the Atlanta rapper to "stop feeling." Waka then replied to Gay, "Lost that when my two little brothers passed."

According to  Hollywood Life , their respective entourages were also present, but it hasn't stopped rumors of a potential romance from brewing. "They were on a very private dinner [Friday] night in the wine room at Prime 112, behind curtains,” reported a source. Judging by an Amber Instagram post Saturday, it seems the two met up again the next night. Take a look below and let us know if this is strictly business, friendship, or something more?
