Starting and running a business is hard enough without repeating the same business mistakes other founders and small business owners have already paid for.
The common thread is not bad luck. Most business mistakes come from unclear ownership, weak cash discipline, poor customer validation, undocumented work, or decisions made without the right expertise.

Inefficient workflows quietly drain a large share of revenue every year. That is a third of your enterprise’s earning potential wasted on everything from a single missed email to a stock of excess inventory. Imagine what you could do with that money instead. You could hire new employees to scale the business further. Department budgets could be expanded so teams use better equipment. Automation is how you take that money back, and it is no longer optional: in McKinsey’s 2025 State of AI survey, 88% of organizations reported using AI in at least one business function, and Redwood’s 2025 Enterprise Automation Index found 73% of companies increased automation spend in the past year, with nearly 40% reporting cost reductions of 25% or more.
All of this and more can be achieved with business process automation. To demonstrate, let us walk through three core enterprise automation examples for processes that are riddled with the kind of waste automation removes, built in Process Street.
An editor is a writer’s best friend.
For me, that’s literally the case. I’ve known Ben Mulholland since my school days, and he became the sharpest editor I know.
While many employees want to discuss their career prospects with their managers at least one to four times per year, a shocking 40% never do. In other words, employees won’t ask even when the conversation could help them understand their future.
A Robert Half study revealed a disconnect between managers and their employees on one of the most wanted aspects of any job. Gallup has also found that advancement opportunities remain uneven, and one in four employees lack clear opportunities to move ahead.
Useful applications of AI and machine learning are no longer limited to research labs, ad platforms, or giant enterprise teams. AI now shows up inside everyday business processes: reviewing documents, routing work, predicting risk, drafting responses, inspecting quality, and helping teams decide what should happen next.
The practical question is not whether AI can do impressive things. It is where AI can remove repetitive work, improve decisions, and still leave the right human approval gates in place. This guide walks through 20 applications of AI across business functions and industries, with a focus on where the technology changes how work gets done.
We’ve all been there. You wake up between 7 and 9, have a quick breakfast, or not at all, and start work. Perhaps you’re hoping to get that big project out of the way to get ahead, then blast away some of the more difficult topics while you’re on a roll.
The trouble is, if you set off working as soon as possible after waking up, the chances are that something will stop you. It could be that you’re not awake properly and so don’t work as quickly as you’d like, or that you burn out in the first few morning hours, drudging through your afternoon in a low-energy, unproductive state.

I made the switch from Dropbox to Google Drive and never looked back. Once you live in Drive every day, you start finding features most people never touch, and a few of them quietly change how you work.
Below is the running list of Google Drive tips and tricks I actually use, including the AI features Google has folded in that most users have not caught up to yet.
This is a guest post by Hannah Butler, a web developer, designer, and writer.
A strong business newsletter gives readers a reason to keep opening your emails. It can share useful ideas, explain your work, highlight customer stories, and point people toward the next best action without turning every send into a hard sell.
Podcasts are like hacks for your everyday life. They allow you to passively improve your knowledge and gain valuable insight into almost any topic you could imagine, whilst doing pretty much anything.
All of that time spent walking to the store, commuting to work, preparing a meal, working out; it’s all time you could be utilizing to improve yourself and your business.

B2B marketing trends change fast, but the durable lesson is simple: buyers remember brands that make complex work easy to understand. The best B2B campaigns do not pretend an industrial product, CRM, or social platform is consumer entertainment. They turn useful proof, customer stories, and product context into content people can actually share.
These five examples show how B2B brands can build attention without flattening their expertise. MailChimp, Volvo, General Electric, Salesforce, and HootSuite all prove a different point about brand storytelling, visual content, events, social proof, and repeatable marketing execution.
