Daily Dose:
Batman and Ironman both saw some wild profits for their name this year, but nobody thinks to ask them for business advice.
And it’s a damn shame.
In fact, the actual men, Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark, are two of the world’s most famous business figureheads.

1. Where would you prefer to work? Bruce Wayne. The company can diversify. Sure, your business may have one hell of a start, but if you’re not adapting or introducing anything new, there’s a stale taste left in the consumer’s mouth. Diversity is the key to progress and expansion. A great idea is a great start, but it might not be a great end.
2. Who would be a better business partner? Tony Stark. He has his hands in everything. He’s an extensively active CEO. And nobody wants a business partner to rake up the profits if he’s not putting in the effort. If ever entering into a business partnership, make sure your partner is going to work as hard as you are. Your partner may be a great person, but nobody likes doing business with an angel who slacks off.
3. Who is more grounded to their entrepreneurial roots? Tony Stark. It goes back to dirty hands. Who has more of himself invested in his business? What company would you trust more: the one where the founder isn’t sure what’s going on or the one where the entrepreneur knows every single movement? It’s a difficult balance between micromanaging and macromanaging, but you better know what’s going on with your company.
