NCET Biz Tips: Don’t Set It and Forget It

January 18, 2021 by NCET Member

We have all heard the term “set it and forget it” applied to various scenarios. Your business should not be one of them!

The goal of having a business is to create a business that is an asset, not a job. This means that you can work “on” your business not “in” your business. If you can reach this elevated state within your business, it is important to make sure you do not take your eyes too far off the ball.

Here are some things that you should be looking at in your business at least every 90 days.

So You Want to Start a Nonprofit?

January 16, 2021 by NCET Member

First, I’m going to do my best to talk you out of it. 

Regardless of your geographical location, there are likely tons – TONS – of nonprofits already in existence.  Nevada alone has over 8,000 nonprofits.  Under the theory there’s no such thing as an original thought, chances are someone else is already doing what you want to do.

Cyber Security: Keeping Your Business Safe

January 15, 2021 by NCET Member

An issue that will only become more prevalent moving into the future, cybersecurity is something that affects everyone. From the grandfather that sends his social security check to a “prince” in Nigeria, to the CEO who finds her proprietary data held hostage by a cyber thief, no one is immune to online threats and scams. Business owners need to be especially careful as they must protect, not only their own information, but, in many cases, the information of their customers as well.

When will conventions come back? Business, tourism leaders hopeful large groups can return by summer

January 14, 2021 by NCET Member

The 2020 NCET Tech Showcase and Awards Gala was scheduled to take place in late March at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center — an annual event that brings roughly 400 businesspeople together. But, as March moved along, and the coronavirus cases in Washoe County climbed, “it became clearer and clearer that we were not going to be able to hold that event,” Dave Archer, president and CEO of NCET.

On Oct. 21, during a brief window when the state increased the limit on gatherings to 250 people, NCET was finally able to hold its annual event.

From drones to automation, Nevada contractors invest in tech to stay competitive

January 13, 2021 by NCET Member

If you were asked to visualize a construction worker, you would likely picture a laborer in a hardhat, tool belt and work boots, wielding a hammer. A foreman? Clipboard in one hand, rolled up blueprints in the other, pencil behind the ear.

While that visual is still seen on your typical construction site today, there is a growing amount of technology — from equipment on site to software behind the scenes — being used by construction companies to increase efficiency and productivity.

January 12, 2021 by NCET Member
