Greetings Zimbabwean entrepreneurs,

Understanding the importance of deadlines is key for effective time management and goal attainment. Deadlines are needed for boosting productivity and achieving success in both our personal and professional lives..
 

 WHY DEADLINES MATTER 

It doesn’t matter if you are working on a simple task, managing a huge project or just want to hit a specific milestone, deadlines provide invaluable structure, accountability, and a sense of urgency. They help prioritise work, allocate resources efficiently, and maintain momentum toward your objectives. Without deadlines, tasks can easily linger indefinitely, leading to procrastination and missed opportunities. Read this week's ATLAS Venture Trove titled Why deadlines matter.

 UNDERSTANDING BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS 

An acquisition is a strategic business transaction where a larger company acquires a controlling interest in another company, gaining operational management control and decision-making authority. Acquisitions provide a means to consolidate the market, creating larger entities with expanded reach and enhanced efficiency. 

They enable companies to pool resources, streamline production processes, and lower expenses, thereby boosting competitiveness. Read this week's ATLAS Resource on Understanding Business Acquisitions, details are on our website here.
