Curated Collection
Business Collection: A Mini MBA Bundle for Avid Readers
Informative and engaging business stories from contributors of ILLUMINATION

Upon requests from many readers, I created a business story collection based on my reading list from ILLUMINATION.
Our readers adore curated collections offering voices from many experienced writers. The power of ILLUMINATION Integrated Publications is the variety and diversity contributed by over 24,000 writers. No publication on Medium provides such a variety of topics in a single site.
This collection is only from ILLUMINATION today. There are hundreds of similar stories on ILLUMINATION Curated, SYNERGY, and Technology Hits. It is not possible to present them in a single story. I plan to create more business collections from other publications.
I recently created several collections about health, mental health, freelancing, writing, artificial intelligence, cryptocurrency, and NFTs.
As the lead editor of ILLUMINATION Integrated Publications, I enjoy reviewing and featuring notable stories from my reading list. I also recommended our 70 editors willing to participate in this initiative. We will redesign our front pages to make collections visible to our readers.
We offer daily digests that many readers love to read; however, discerning readers find specialized collections more valuable. As you might experience, unfortunately, finding useful stories on Medium is very difficult. They are fragmented. For example, when applying a search term, the algorithm brings ancient and sometimes irrelevant content. It is a waste of time for us.
Like other collections, this business collection may bring you new perspectives. It can even be better than a business book. This collection may serve as a business course offering like a mini-MBA (Master of Business Administration) covering different facets of businesses.
Business is a broad topic and tag on Medium.

As a top writer on business, leadership, and entrepreneurship, I regularly contribute to these topics.

Many of the stories I included in my list were distributed to some of these topics. I recommend saving the stories you are interested in this collection.
I also suggest connecting with the writers of these great stories. Many writers contributing to this collection have substantial business experience and offer insights into various aspects of a business.
More importantly, investing in learning from the experience of others can give us insights and prevent us from making mistakes others have already made.
For me, the most critical aspect is starting a project, as I explained in the attached story.

Conclusions
As you can see, many writers post articles related to the business topic. This collection is just the tip of the iceberg. I selected some great stories that I enjoyed and found valuable. I hope some of these stories can provide insights and new perspectives.
There are always better times to start a business. But, if your heart wants to realize your passion, you can start now with a small step and scale up gradually.
Perhaps, freelancing by selling your services can be a good option as you don’t need an upfront investment. Freelancing is one of the fastest-growing businesses in the current market. Content development is one of the freelance jobs.
Another low-hanging fruit is affiliate marketing. Adding affiliate marketing to your freelance business can significantly boost your passive income. You can sign up for digital affiliate programs and use your affiliate links in your stories, blogs, and newsletters.
We must start boldly to be in the game and complete a journey. All great businesses manifested with a small start. However, creating and running a business requires planning, commitment, and passion. Motivation will only start if we act promptly. This simple fact is crucial for entrepreneurs and business leaders.
Combining your creativity with a growth mindset and entrepreneurial approach can bring you a more productive and joyful life.
I wish you all the best in your business career and in creating a new venture.
Thank you for reading my perspectives. I wish you a healthy and happy life—all the best in your business career and creating a new venture.
