Uncategorized I’d Rather Apologize Than To Be So Timid As To Never Try To Do Anything Smart Or Brave.

“I’d rather apologize than to be so timid as to never try to do anything smart or brave.” – Lee Clow Do not procrastinate in making a move because you fear failing, because in anything you do you are going to eventually fail at some point so you have to fail your way to success. Some people wait until they have everything in their hand in order to act and they want to do everything perfectly and want everything when it is put together to become suddenly successful and it does work like that, you can’t wake up one day and be suddenly successful if you haven’t put in the work and haven’t failed a little on the road, “Is it possible for one to be successful all of a sudden?”. You become successful because you believe in your business or what you are doing and you keep on moving in the right direction. The difference between procrastination and patience is this  procrastination is the action of delaying or postponing something while patience is the capacity to accept or tolerate d

New Ideas Are Sometimes Found In The Most Granular Details Of A Problem Where Few Others Bother To Look.

“New ideas are sometimes found in the most granular details of a problem where few others bother to look.” – Nate Silver New ideas are sometimes found in the most small details of a problem where few others bother to look. Do not dismiss any detail of the problem thinking it is too small to matter because everything matters in executing a plan or keeping a business going in the right direction. Look at the small grains or particles of the details as if you are looking at them for the first time and keep on looking at them again and again because that is where few others bother to look and come up with new ideas. Find the connection between the details and where you find a fault that is where there needs to be a correction and from there you’ll have found the solution to the problem.

Marketing’s Job Is Never Done.

Image
“Marketing’s job is never done. It’s about perpetual motion. We must continue to innovate every day.” – Beth Comstock Marketing’s job is never done because it is a continuous process of innovation and it is a perpetual motion in this case marketers never stop at nothing and when you tell a marketer “no” that is when they get exited because marketers never take “no” as answer and they believe it is hard to beat a person who never gives up. The more difficult the task the more pay off marketers get in return and thus marketers never stop innovating because they want to win so badly that makes it a perpetual motion and they continue to innovate on how to execute their plan and therefore marketers become marketing strategist because they need to make the customer “yes”.

How To Maintain Cooperation.

Image
“In the long history of humankind those who learned to collaborate and improvise most effectively have prevailed.” – Charles Darwin How to maintain cooperation. Tip #1: Clarify roles and responsibilities –  You must be very clear on what you are trying to achieve by working together. And you must be very clear on the role and responsibilities that each party has for contributing to the achievement of those objectives. Partnerships break down when expectations become misaligned or when either party doesn’t know what to expect. When you are really acting like a team, the lines between organizations become difficult to see. Tip 2: Commit being fair –  The foundation of trust in a partnership is a commitment to fairness. If you know that no matter what issues pop up you will always be fair with one another, then TRUST will exist and grow. It is when one side feels something “unfair” has happened that causes trust to erode. So, high-trust relationships are built on looking for th

Sometimes The Questions Are Complicated And The Answers Are Simple.

Image
“Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.” – Dr. Seuss Sometimes the questions put across the table might be hard to explain but the answers are simple. Somethings are hard to explain they have to be applied in order to be understood e.g Like teaching a child on how to ride a bicycle they first can’t see themselves riding the bike without falling and hurting themselves and the fear of falling keeps them away from trying to ride the bicycle by peddling. In teaching the child on how to ride a bicycle you have to first hold the bicycle for the child while the are on it this helps them have balance then you tell them to get ready because they are going for a ride then you push the bicycle forward while moving with it giving the child the balance and confidence to peddle while you run slowly holding the bicycle so that the child does not fall, until they feel comfortable enough to ride alone then you leave them alone in the motion to gain composure and pe

Image
“If you can’t explain it to a 6-year old, you don’t know it yourself.” – Albert Einstein If you can’t tell your story in a lame man’s language you probably don’t understand it yourself, so if you can’t explain it to a 6 year old, you don’t know it yourself.

Sum up your concept by making it easy to remember and interesting enough not to be able to forget. Humility is the main principle here because why should you explain your concept to a child? You have to be humble enough to speak in a language the c
