Here's how to tell the difference between a rough patch and a structural ceiling — and what actually replaces the spreadsheet once you've outgrown it. Every growing business starts the same way: a spreadsheet, a shared drive, and a founder who knows exactly where everything is. It's cheap, it's flexible, and anyone can open it without training. For a five-person team tracking a handful of jobs and a short...]]></description><link>https://www.ironlogic.co.il/post/7-signs-your-business-has-outgrown-spreadsheets</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6aaa3589ae769833007300ae</guid><pubDate>Wed, 16 Sep 2026 18:31:44 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/64a500_1fff9c5c64fa4626842bb8ae4db93cc7~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_892,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Elad Hozainov</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your Company Isn’t Stuck. Your Goals Are.]]></title><description><![CDATA[Most managers think they set goals, but the truth is that many of them only write nice sentences that look like goals and hope everything will somehow fall into place. That’s not management. That’s wishful thinking. A real manager defines goals that are clear, realistic, and actually possible to achieve. If a goal isn’t specific, if you can’t measure it, or if your team can’t understand it instantly, it is not a goal. It’s a fantasy. Good management means knowing exactly what you want to...]]></description><link>https://www.ironlogic.co.il/post/your-company-isn-t-stuck-your-goals-are</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6aa98c509fd799d4f3089452</guid><pubDate>Tue, 15 Sep 2026 18:22:07 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/64a500_156004c3dbbc4f369fe3d6350d66e77c~mv2.jpeg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Elad Hozainov</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Illusion of Control]]></title><description><![CDATA[A manager standing behind an employee while he’s writing an email and saying: “You’re using the wrong font. Use Arial 12. Not 11. And don’t bold that sentence.” The employee already knows the content, knows the client, and knows what needs to be sent.  But instead of trusting him to do his job, the manager focuses on fonts, spacing, alignment and other details that change absolutely nothing in the outcome. If this sounds familiar to you, keep reading... This is the illusion of control. It...]]></description><link>https://www.ironlogic.co.il/post/the-illusion-of-control</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6aa98bca9453ffbd412629fc</guid><pubDate>Tue, 15 Sep 2026 18:18:39 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/64a500_a4704fb3aeee4c73975461e5e176d4f4~mv2.jpeg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Elad Hozainov</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Convenience Tax]]></title><description><![CDATA[Most people don’t realize it, but there’s a hidden tax we all pay because Amazon exists. It’s the “Amazon tax”. Once you understand how it works, you can’t unsee it. According to the TechRepublic analysis, Amazon charges sellers a long list of fees. The referral fee alone ranges from about 8% to 15% in most categories, and in some cases it can go as high as 45%. On top of that, there are fulfillment fees, storage fees, per-item fees, returns fees and more. When you combine all of this, the...]]></description><link>https://www.ironlogic.co.il/post/the-convenience-tax</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6aa988fe9453ffbd41262261</guid><pubDate>Tue, 15 Sep 2026 18:15:43 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/64a500_3a0bf517b01147aba502ce090ff5904d~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Elad Hozainov</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Default effect]]></title><description><![CDATA[What if I told you that in Denmark almost no one wants to donate their organs… but in Poland almost everyone does? Sounds crazy, right? Well, it’s not about national culture or personal generosity. It’s all about a simple human bias called the default effect. Back in 2003, Johnson and Goldstein published a study in Science showing that countries with an opt-in system for organ donation, like Germany, the UK and Denmark, had extremely low donation rates. But countries with an opt-out system,...]]></description><link>https://www.ironlogic.co.il/post/the-default-effect</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6aa98451d7d2dc33168502ec</guid><pubDate>Tue, 15 Sep 2026 18:01:09 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/64a500_0dc1ceed7ab547d681fc7e7f63a5b935~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Elad Hozainov</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
