If this is something most companies want, and all have really good information and ideas, how do you cut through</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">the noise and get featured?</span></p> <h3><strong>Here are two things I do: </strong></h3> <p><strong>First:</strong> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Whatever it takes to access the dog-on-the-bone mentally that I will get what I want no matter what. This involves having an obsession with my mission for the client’s goal. In one case, it involved Eminem. I had a client that wanted to be on a way bigger website than they were worthy of. The competition was thick as an overgrown forest, gatekeepers did their jobs really well at not letting any emails reach the ones in charge, and if you did manage to get in, something in the company or information was written up negatively or simply wasn’t considered powerful enough to be written about and was not featured. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Most important was that the journalists on the site were, well, let’s just say ‘very proud of themselves’ and their power to read, accept and reject queries to be featured, rightly so. You had to construct your outreach in a way that was different from other companies and marketers and even if you succeeded at that piece, differentiating yourself is not always enough.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To be honest, I personally wanted to prove myself as a marketing strategist to add another notch to my professional belt, and wickedly enjoy an impossible challenge. Starting from no way in, and challenging obstacles, I needed to access a part of myself that was in the realm of the forbidden and rebellious</span><b><i>, </i></b><span style="font-weight: 400;">ride or die, I’m not stopping until my mission is complete.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The first step did not involve logic; it was through a different part of the brain. As music utilizes the opposite part of the brain, that was my way in for this monumental project. </span></p> <p><strong>How to access the ride-or-die mindset</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As a kid growing up in a NY suburb, I was not allowed to listen to any music other than what was carefully selected by my parents and school. I had no iPhone, internet (Gen X) and our home did not have a TV for the purpose of keeping outside influences away. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Yet once I was old enough to buy a ‘Walkman’ for cassettes, I discovered it had a radio and it was small enough to keep hidden. The world of forbidden, punishable music opened up to me at the tail end of my teen years. Madonna, Michael Jackson and all the other artists of my generation were always in my ear, despite the fear of being caught. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here’s where Eminem comes in. For this project of landing a journalist to write about a mediocre-deserving client on a worldwide top website, I knew this was my moment, my one chance, my opportunity to level up my concierge strategies.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To steal my mind, I listened to Eminem’s brilliant and motivating words in ‘Lose Yourself’ on repeat all day and night for </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">three months, creating a driven and laser focus on my project</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p> <p><a href="https://addicted2success.com/quotes/107-motivational-eminem-quotes/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">“You better lose yourself in the music, the moment, you own it, you only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow this opportunity comes once in a lifetime.”</span></a></p> <p><strong>The second step</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This involved intense logic. I studied the information from the client, and read the content by the top 3 journalists on the site we were aiming to be featured on. I followed the journalists on all their social media and read every post they wrote, and every comment they wrote on other posts. I did this for three months and having a Master’s degree in Psychology, I was able to understand their personalities, and witnessed events in their lives they shared virtually. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I formed a plan that began with reading and commenting on their posts, sharing their posts and getting on their radar. I connected through carefully selected social media platforms or email, and spent time deciding what to say. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Eminem kept me company in the background, egging me on with music my parents and community would likely have disowned me for. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“You only get one shot.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I found my way in through these two strategies and a stroke of luck that came unexpected in my efforts. When your mind is strong and you do the work, you are opening yourself up to synchronicities. I achieved my goal of getting the client featured in a powerful, positive, article that launched them stratospherically. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Use anything you need to <a href="https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/the-self-determination-secret-thatll-propel-you-forward-in-life/">first get your mindset</a></span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">to the place of self-belief, determination, and obsession. Focus on how the goal you are working towards will change YOUR life, and the life of your company or client. Think as if you only get one shot, one attempt at this goal. Music, working out, researching, running, imagining a pot of gold at the end of the track, select whatever outlandish idea works to motivate you at a laser focused level.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Next, comb through information until you get to know the people you need to assist you, feature you, or introduce you. Craft your request or message to them from a place of strategic analysis and laser focus. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And finally, recognize that there is a great deal of luck that comes into play, but you have to be present and ready. When you see your lucky shot, combined with your logic and steel mind, take it.</span></p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/how-my-forbidden-eminem-obsession-landed-a-huge-writing-feature/">How My Forbidden Eminem Obsession Landed a Huge Writing Feature</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com">Addicted 2 Success</a>.</p> ";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:36:"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/";a:1:{s:10:"commentRss";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:113:"https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/how-my-forbidden-eminem-obsession-landed-a-huge-writing-feature/feed/";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:38:"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/";a:1:{s:8:"comments";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:1:"0";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}}}i:1;a:6:{s:4:"data";s:94:" ";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";s:5:"child";a:5:{s:0:"";a:7:{s:5:"title";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:75:"Unlock Your Career Potential: How Programming Skills Can Boost Your Success";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:4:"link";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:119:"https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/unlock-your-career-potential-how-programming-skills-can-boost-your-success/";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:8:"comments";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:127:"https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/unlock-your-career-potential-how-programming-skills-can-boost-your-success/#respond";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:7:"pubDate";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:31:"Sun, 16 Jun 2024 21:42:21 +0000";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:8:"category";a:8:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:14:"Success Advice";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:1;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:13:"career advice";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:2;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:13:"career skills";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:3;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:13:"coding skills";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:4;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:26:"how to build coding skills";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:5;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:32:"how to get better at programming";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:6;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:11:"programming";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:7;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:18:"programming skills";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:4:"guid";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:37:"https://addicted2success.com/?p=57026";s:7:"attribs";a:1:{s:0:"";a:1:{s:11:"isPermaLink";s:5:"false";}}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:11:"description";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:465:"<p>Coding skills don't just enhance your employability - they also open the door to exciting entrepreneurial opportunities.</p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/unlock-your-career-potential-how-programming-skills-can-boost-your-success/">Unlock Your Career Potential: How Programming Skills Can Boost Your Success</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com">Addicted 2 Success</a>.</p> ";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:32:"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";a:1:{s:7:"creator";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:23:"Addicted2Success Editor";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:40:"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/";a:1:{s:7:"encoded";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:12029:"<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Programming is everywhere in our daily lives. It’s behind the take-out we order, the movies we stream, and many other actions we take. Tech companies don’t just make software; they deliver food, help us get taxis, influence elections, and even act as personal trainers.</span><span id="more-57026"></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Coding skills don’t just enhance your employability – they also open the door to exciting entrepreneurial opportunities. With the ability to bring your ideas to life through software, websites, or mobile apps, you can explore the world of startups and innovation. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Whether you dream of launching your own tech venture or leveraging technology to revolutionize an existing industry, mastering coding provides the foundation to turn your entrepreneurial aspirations into reality.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Programming is giving instructions to a computer to follow. It’s like cooking with a recipe: the recipe author is the programmer, and you are the computer. The author gives you steps to follow, and the more detailed the instructions, the more complex the dish you can make!</span></p> <h2><strong>How Does Programming Work?</strong></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Computer programming works by writing instructions in a language the computer can understand. These directives inform the computer about the tasks it needs to execute. Just like following a recipe, the computer reads the code and executes the steps individually to complete the task.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Programming languages, including Python, enable programmers to write instructions using syntax that resembles English. These instructions are stored in text files and then translated into binary or object codes by a compiler or an interpreter. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The resulting binary code is what the computer can understand and execute.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For instance, in the context of a </span><a href="https://redwerk.com/blog/python-code-review-checklist/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Python code review checklist</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, it is crucial to ensure that the code follows best practices and is free from errors. This checklist typically includes steps like checking for proper indentation, verifying variable naming conventions, and ensuring that there are no unused imports. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Such meticulous reviews help in translating human-readable Python code into efficient machine-executable binary code.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In lower-level programming, computers speak machine language, consisting of binary codes of 1s and 0s. This language is specific to each type of computer processor and is quite difficult for humans to work with directly. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, </span><a href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/science-technology/the-best-language-for-non-tech-founders-to-code-their-own/318509"><span style="font-weight: 400;">higher-level languages</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> like Python and Java bridge this gap by allowing programmers to write code in a more understandable and manageable way.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Once the code is written and reviewed using a comprehensive checklist, it can be run by the computer’s operating system. The steps involved in compiling and running a program may vary slightly depending on the language used. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Still, the basic process remains the same: translating human-readable code into machine-readable binary code.</span></p> <h2><strong>Exploring How Coding Skills Can Enhance Your Career</strong></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Learning to code can significantly boost your career in today’s job market, where coding is a highly sought-after skill. Even if you don’t want to become a </span><a href="https://addicted2success.com/tech-human-integration/tech-news/artificial-intelligence-and-the-human-spirit-a-symbiotic-evolution/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">software engineer</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, coding can give you an advantage over other job candidates. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Coding skills can also empower you to explore new business opportunities and bring your entrepreneurial ideas to life.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here are some reasons why coding can improve your career:</span></p> <h3><b>Automation and Efficiency</b></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Coding automates tasks, making them easier and faster.

href="https://addicted2success.com/entrepreneur-profile/5-important-legal-tips-every-entrepreneur-should-know/">As a small business owner, understanding copyright law is essential</a>, as you strive to safeguard your material and ensure you don’t incorrectly use material that belongs to someone else.</span><span id="more-57017"></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this article, small business experts and </span><a href="https://www.1stformations.co.uk/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">company formation agent, 1st Formations</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, look at what small business owners need to know about copyright laws. Let’s get started.</span></p> <h2><b>What does it mean if something is copyrighted?</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If a piece of work is copyrighted, you can’t do any of the below to that work without approval from the copyright holder (this is often the person who created the work but not always):</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Copy</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Distribute</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Loan</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lend</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Adapt</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Publish on the internet</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">An individual who performs any of these could be committing copyright infringement.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This can be a criminal offence if completed deliberately on a commercial scale. If done on a smaller scale, it’s categorised as a ‘private right’, and so the copyright holder can generally decide how the matter is handled.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For example, they may choose to simply contact the individual and request that they stop, or they could make it a legal matter which typically would start by sending a cease and desist notice.</span></p> <h2><b>What can be copyrighted?</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Different types of work you do are protected through copyright. As set out by GOV.UK, protection is given to:</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Literature </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">you have written</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">including web content, blog posts, case studies, reports and research</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Software </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">you have built</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Databases </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">you maintain</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Illustrations </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">you have created</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Photographs </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">you have taken</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Art </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">you have made including music, pictures, and theatrical drama</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Film, TV, </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">and </span><b>sound </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">that you have recorded</span></li> </ul> <h2><b>How are copyright and intellectual property (IP) connected?</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Intellectual property is the term used to describe something that you have created with your imagination. Inventions, product names, designs, logos, written content – these are all considered IPs.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Copyright is a form of IP protection, specific to particular IPs (covered above in ‘What can be copyrighted?’).</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Other forms of protection include registering a trade mark, registering a design, and patenting an invention. These, in turn, are suitable for other types of IP.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For example:</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Registering a trade mark would be appropriate if you want to protect a product’s name</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Registering a design would be appropriate if you want to protect a product’s packaging</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Patenting would be appropriate if you want to protect a product</span></li> </ul> <h2><b>How do I copyright something?</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You don’t have to do anything to copyright a piece of work. It is done automatically.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There is no application process involved and no fee that you need to pay. Copyright is obtained as soon as something has been made. In comparison, registering a trade mark, registering a design, and patenting an invention all require an application process and a fee.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Some people choose to use the copyright symbol, ©, on their work, alongside their name and the date that the work was created. Displaying the symbol and accompanying information is not a legal requirement – work has copyright status whether you choose to show it or not and this doesn’t provide it with an extra level of protection.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, using the symbol demonstrates that you are laying claim to the work and can act as a deterrent if someone were to consider using it wrongfully.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The matter is complicated somewhat by ‘fair dealing’. In the UK, copyright law is set out in the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. This states that there are instances where it can be acceptable to replicate someone else’s work for ‘Criticism, review, quotation and news reporting’, provided that the work is publicly available and ‘sufficient acknowledgement’ is given.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, this is a complex issue. If you are considering working with content that someone else has authored, we strongly recommend seeking legal advice first to ensure that your perceived fair usage isn’t copyright infringement.</span></p> <h2><b>Do employers or employees own copyright?</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Generally speaking, a person is the ‘first owner of the copyright’ unless the work was completed upon the request of an employer. A person who has commissioned the work is not considered an employer.</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">If an individual independently creates a piece of art they are the owner of the copyright.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">If the artist was commissioned to create the art they would still be the copyright owner.</span></li> </ul> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">If the artist was an employee, creating the art upon the request of an employer, the employer is the owner of the copyright.</span></li> </ul> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is all superseded if there is a written agreement in place between all parties involved that states otherwise.</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">More than one person can own the copyright. If the project results in an undividable whole, where the collaboration is equal and no prior agreement is in place, each party would be considered a joint owner (unless the work was completed by employees under the direction of an employer, in which case the employer would hold the copyright). When this occurs, if someone else wishes to use the copyrighted piece of work, all joint owners would need to agree.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Where a piece of work can be split into clear parts and different people complete work on different things, copyright can be attributed separately to the different parts. For example, a book may have a writer and an illustrator, each owning the copyright to their specific work (when a publisher is involved, they typically will have been licenced to use the copyrights). They can then allow other people to use their separate work how they see fit.</span></p> <h2><b>Ramifications of copyright infringement</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Failure to effectively enforce your copyright can be damaging to your business. For example, other people – perhaps direct competitors – may be passing your work off as their own and being financially rewarded for it. This dilutes your work and cheats you out of potential earnings.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Furthermore, the integrity of what you have created could be sullied, as it may be being used in a way that you never intended. For example, perhaps some written content that you have produced is being reproduced in a way that removes context and changes the meaning to something that you disagree with.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If the scenario is switched and you break copyright law, the implications can be more immediate. In the case of a civil claim, you may be required to pay damages to the person whose work you have wrongfully used. In more severe situations, when cases reach court, you could end up paying a significant fine and even face a jail term.</span></p> <h2><b>What small business owners need to do</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Demonstrate that you and your business take copyright seriously by correctly using the © symbol, with the name of the author and the date on all the work you produce that can be copyrighted.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If the other forms of IP protection are pertinent, take advantage of these.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Use watermarks on written and visual content when appropriate, which at the very least, ensures you’re provided with credit if it is used surreptitiously.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Set up Google Alerts on words and phrases commonly associated with your brand, so you can check new written content as and when it’s published, allowing you to act quickly if you do find your work is being used by someone else.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Disable copy functionality on your site, making life that much harder for people who do want to use your content illegitimately.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When you are commissioning a piece of work by a third party, make sure the initial discussion includes the issue of ownership and copyright, and these are cemented through a signed agreement. This will help you avoid disputes further down the line.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And, vitally, you need to act when you find that your copyright is being infringed upon. Exactly what you do will depend on the severity of the infringement. Maybe a short email requesting a credit will suffice, perhaps you feel that payment for usage is necessary, or legal action may be suitable.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When it comes to the steps required to make sure you don’t encroach on someone else’s copyright, advice is more concise.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you can’t use original imagery, use stock photo services, always being sure to check what you can and can’t do in regard to the image.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you want to include someone else’s work within a piece of written content (even if it’s just a link to the work), check the terms and conditions of the author, looking at what they do and don’t allow. If in doubt, contact them directly.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Unfortunately, there’s no database in the UK for checking copyrights and ownerships, so if you’re unsure whether you can use something, we urge you to seek legal assistance before publishing anything that could put your business at risk.</span></p> <p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Do you want to set up a UK limited company? 1st Formations are a top-rated company formation agent in the UK, and can help you register your company in four simple steps – from just £12.99.

This necessitates a deep understanding of the differences between Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs) and Employer of Record (EOR) partners. </span><span id="more-57014"></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Understanding it helps to make informed decisions tailored to your company’s unique needs.</span></p> <h2><b>What is a PEO?</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A PEO serves as a co-employer, providing outsourced HR services to small and medium-sized businesses. These comprehensive services encompass payroll processing, benefits administration, regulatory compliance, and tax filings. By partnering with a PEO, companies can offload HR tasks, allowing internal teams to focus on core responsibilities.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s crucial to note that while a PEO acts as an outsourced HR department, it is not the legal employer of your workforce. Therefore, your company retains accountability for both legal obligations and day-to-day operations. It includes business registrations in locations where talent is hired.</span><a href="https://www.rivermate.com/"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.rivermate.com/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rivermate</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> simplifies the global hiring process for companies by providing comprehensive Employer of Record (EOR) solutions. They also eliminate the need to handle numerous registrations or set up local entities.</span></p> <h3><b>Understanding the Role of an EOR</b></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In contrast to a PEO, an Employer of Record (EOR) assumes legal employer responsibilities for your distributed workforce. The EOR is responsible for employment contracts, payroll processing, compliance with local employment laws, and other administrative tasks associated with global hiring.</span></p> <h3><b>Choosing Between PEO and EOR</b></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When deciding between a PEO and an EOR, several factors come into play, including:</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Legal Responsibility:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> A PEO shares legal responsibility with your company. An EOR takes on full legal liability as the employer of record.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Compliance:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Both PEOs and EORs assist with compliance. However, EORs offer more extensive support for global hiring as local regulations vary significantly.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Administrative Burden: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">While PEOs alleviate HR burdens, companies must still manage certain administrative tasks. In contrast, EORs handle all employment-related responsibilities, streamlining global workforce management.</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ultimately, the choice between a PEO and an EOR depends on your organization’s priorities. It also considers growth strategy and tolerance for administrative complexities. By evaluating these factors, you can select the ideal solution to support your company’s expansion and success in the global marketplace.</span></p> <h2><b>Deciphering the Key Differences for Your Organization</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Employer of Record (EOR), serves as a crucial global employment partner for businesses. This partnership is beneficial when expanding into new markets where they lack a physical presence. Acting as the legal employer of a company’s distributed workforce, an EOR assumes all employer-related responsibilities, ensuring compliance with local regulations and streamlining HR processes.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">An EOR’s responsibilities encompass various HR tasks. These include locality-specific onboarding, payroll management, tax compliance, benefits administration, and unemployment claim reporting. By partnering with an EOR, businesses gain the flexibility to hire top talent worldwide. They also eliminate the need for business registrations in each country, making entering new markets simple.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Furthermore, collaborating with an employer of record provides peace of mind. Their experts handle all HR and employer-related obligations, allowing internal teams to focus on core responsibilities. This efficiency reduces the time, hassle, and costs associated with building and managing a distributed workforce.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, it’s essential to distinguish between EORs and PEOs (Professional Employer Organizations). They differ in structure, risk management, scalability, scope of services, and cost structure.</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><strong>Structure:</strong> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="2"><span style="font-weight: 400;">PEO: Functions as a co-employer. It allows outsourcing HR duties while maintaining the client company as the on-site employer, retaining control over HR decisions.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="2"><span style="font-weight: 400;">EOR: Serves as the legal employer of the distributed workforce in regions where the client company lacks an entity. It relinquishes some control over HR decisions but provides access to premium benefit plans and local expertise.</span></li> </ul> </li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><strong>Risk Management:</strong> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="2"><span style="font-weight: 400;">PEO: Exposes the client company to employment liabilities. But, these are mitigated by the PEO’s assistance in risk management.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="2"><span style="font-weight: 400;">EOR: Assumes full responsibility for employment risks and liabilities. It offers comprehensive protection for the client company.</span></li> </ul> </li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><strong>Scalability:</strong> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="2"><span style="font-weight: 400;">PEO: Best suited for companies with a significant number of full-time employees, possibly requiring a minimum employee threshold for certain benefits.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="2"><span style="font-weight: 400;">EOR: Offers greater flexibility, accommodating companies with temporary employees or those seeking talent in multiple locations, typically without employee minimums.</span></li> </ul> </li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><strong>Scope of Services:</strong> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="2"><span style="font-weight: 400;">PEO: Provides HR services in regions where the client company already has an entity. The client remains responsible for location-specific compliance.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="2"><span style="font-weight: 400;">EOR: Offers comprehensive local expertise and handles all compliance matters, simplifying multistate or multinational expansions for the client.</span></li> </ul> </li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><strong>Cost Structure:</strong> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="2"><span style="font-weight: 400;">PEO: Typically charges a flat monthly fee per employee or a percentage of payroll, with potential additional setup charges.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="2"><span style="font-weight: 400;">EOR: Generally incurs lower long-term costs compared to PEOs. It covers insurance and benefits for the distributed workforce, lowering costs for the client.</span></li> </ul> </li> </ul> <h2><b>Choosing Between a PEO Partner and an EOR Partner: Key Considerations</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now that we’ve clarified the disparities between an EOR and a PEO, let’s delve into three essential factors. These will guide your decision-making process and determine which solution fits your business.</span></p> <ol> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><strong>Workforce Size:</strong> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="2"><span style="font-weight: 400;">For small businesses and startups navigating expansion and hiring in new locations, scaling can incur substantial costs. If your business intends to establish a new entity in a different state or country, a PEO partnership may be advantageous. By joining as a co-employer, a PEO manages HR-related tasks in the new locale, facilitating a smoother transition.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="2"><span style="font-weight: 400;">But, if your business aims to recruit in multiple countries simultaneously or enter a new locale, an EOR streamlines the onboarding process. It also assumes responsibility for labor law compliance, offering a more efficient solution for global expansion initiatives.</span></li> </ul> </li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><strong>Company Footprint:</strong> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="2"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Establishing separate entities in states or countries where you plan to hire entails significant expenses and regulatory hurdles. In such cases, opting for an EOR partner eliminates the need for entity establishment. It provides a compliant employment foundation and facilitates global talent acquisition.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="2"><span style="font-weight: 400;">But, if your business already owns or intends to establish an entity in a new location, engaging a local PEO partner enables offloading of HR services in that specific locale, enabling you to concentrate on team management.</span></li> </ul> </li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><strong>Choosing the Right Solution:</strong> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="2"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hiring top talent overseas demands meeting unfamiliar labor laws and regulations. Failure to comply can result in costly fines, penalties, and talent attrition.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="2"><span style="font-weight: 400;">If your business seeks rapid market entry without entity establishment, an Employer of Record (EOR) is a compelling option.</span></li> </ul> </li> </ol> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In summary, the decision between a PEO partner and an EOR partner hinges on your organization’s workforce size, geographic footprint, and strategic objectives. By aligning these considerations with your business needs, you can navigate global expansion endeavors with confidence and efficiency. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As noted above, </span><a href="https://www.rivermate.com/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rivermate EOR solution</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> can simplify your company’s global hiring process and support your international growth aspirations.

They encrypt the internet traffic and ensure your data is being sent through an encrypted tunnel that cannot be intercepted by snoopers and prying eyes, including the government and your ISP. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">VPNs even mask your IP so you can browse the web anonymously and let you connect to the </span><a href="https://surfshark.com/servers/usa"><span style="font-weight: 400;">US VPN server</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> while you are traveling in Europe or Asia. Thanks to these features, VPNs ensure your online privacy and security are intact even if you are connected to public Wifi networks. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But that’s not all VPNs can help you achieve. For entrepreneurs, the advantages go much beyond shielding their browsing activity. Keep reading if you are intrigued and want to know the unexpected ways VPNs empower entrepreneurs. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">By the end of this guide, you might be tempted to use a VPN in your entrepreneurial journey so you can take your new business to the next level. </span></p> <h2><b>Market Research On A Global Scale </b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Imagine being able to research any market in the world, regardless of geographical restrictions. VPN makes this possible! </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Many countries exercise content restrictions, blocking access to certain data or websites. With a VPN, you can instantly bypass these restrictions by virtually placing your device in a different location. Thanks to this, doors to a wealth of information are opened for entrepreneurs. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You can use this information for market research, especially if you are eyeing a particular market to expand your new business or hoping to get investors from a specific region. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For example, if you are thinking of expanding your business or product to China, you can utilize a VPN to access Chinese social media platforms and search engines. This will provide you with first-hand insights into competitor analysis and consumer trends and even identify potential partnerships within the Chinese market. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What’s more? You can accomplish all of this from the comfort of your home office or wherever you are working. </span></p> <h2><b>Geo-Targeted Content </b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Usually, conferences, industry reports, and webinars are geo-restricted. Using a VPN, you can virtually attend these events, regardless of your location. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is an excellent way to stay ahead of the curve by accessing the latest industry trends, network with potential collaborators, and learn from experts. And you can do all this at a fraction of the cost of physically traveling to these events. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Imagine attending a marketing summit in London or a tech conference in Silicon Valley while sitting in your coworking space in New York. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You can use a VPN to access geographically restricted live streams, participate in online discussions, and access presentations. Through this, you can gain valuable connections and knowledge. </span></p> <h2><b>Global Recruitment </b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is a huge challenge for any entrepreneur to find the perfect talent. With the help of a VPN, you can tap into a global pool of skilled and highly qualified candidates. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">VPNs allow you to virtually change your location and access international job boards. You can also post remote job openings to attract a wide range of skilled professionals. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is particularly beneficial for entrepreneurs in regions with limited talent pools or if you are eager to tap into the global pool of qualified candidates and work with the best minds in your industry. Don’t let geographical restrictions get in the way of your vision. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Use a VPN and find people from across the globe with the specific skills you need. </span></p> <h2><b><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://addicted2success.com/entrepreneur-profile/5-levels-of-brand-visibility-and-how-to-go-to-the-next-level-in-2024/">Brand Credibility</a></span> With A Global Presence </b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For any business to thrive today, it is essential to have a strong online presence. This is where VPNs come in handy. You allow entrepreneurs to create a virtual presence in different countries, making brands appear more established and global. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So, if you are targeting international markets to sell your products or services, using a VPN will be effective. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Using a VPN, you can register domain names, create social media profiles, and craft localized content specific to different regions. This is going to give your target audience the impression you have a larger operation and a wider reach. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Your brand credibility will be boosted in the international market. </span></p> <h2><b>Save Money On Business Expenses </b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cutting costs is the number one priority of entrepreneurs. Surprisingly, a </span><a href="https://www.pcworld.com/article/2218177/how-to-save-money-with-vpn-benefits-and-risks.html"><span style="font-weight: 400;">VPN can help you save money on various business expenses</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p> <ol> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Subscriptions and software – Some online services and software offer tiered pricing based on location. Using a VPN, you can virtually connect to a server in a region with lower pricing. This will help you save expenses on software licenses and subscriptions. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cost of traveling – Attending trade shows or conferences abroad can be pretty expensive. With a VPN, you can easily access geographically restricted content from such events virtually. This eliminates the cost of traveling and you can remotely participate in all your important business-related events. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Market research tools – Most tools are based on the location of the data you are accessing. You can use a VPN to access data from any region across the globe at a lower cost. </span></li> </ol> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These are only some of the ways entrepreneurs are saving money using a VPN. Once you include a VPN in your entrepreneurial journey, you can explore more ways this tool can help you save money while tapping into the global talent pool, market research, and more. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of the most powerful tools that must be in the arsenal of entrepreneurs is a VPN. This tool can empower entrepreneurs in unexpected ways. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">By facilitating access to geographically restricted content, unlocking global market research opportunities, allowing access to the global talent pool, enabling remote working, and ensuring localized competitor analysis, VPNs provide entrepreneurs with a significant edge in today’s competitive landscape. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Also, the cost-saving benefits are undeniable. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So, if you are not using a VPN for your business, it is time to explore this valuable tool. Unlock the potential of this tool and take your entrepreneurial journey to the next level. </span></p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com/entrepreneur-profile/the-unexpected-advantages-of-vpns-for-entrepreneurs/">The Unexpected Advantages Of VPNs For Entrepreneurs</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com">Addicted 2 Success</a>.</p> ";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:36:"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/";a:1:{s:10:"commentRss";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:107:"https://addicted2success.com/entrepreneur-profile/the-unexpected-advantages-of-vpns-for-entrepreneurs/feed/";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:38:"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/";a:1:{s:8:"comments";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:1:"0";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}}}i:5;a:6:{s:4:"data";s:94:" ";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";s:5:"child";a:5:{s:0:"";a:7:{s:5:"title";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:62:"10 Hidden Psychological Barriers That Are Killing Your Success";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:4:"link";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:131:"https://addicted2success.com/change-your-mindest/shift-your-mindset/10-hidden-psychological-barriers-that-are-killing-your-success/";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:8:"comments";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:139:"https://addicted2success.com/change-your-mindest/shift-your-mindset/10-hidden-psychological-barriers-that-are-killing-your-success/#respond";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:7:"pubDate";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:31:"Mon, 10 Jun 2024 16:35:28 +0000";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:8:"category";a:8:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:18:"Shift Your Mindset";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:1;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:8:"behavior";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:2;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:9:"behaviour";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:3;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:16:"Limiting Beliefs";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:4;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:13:"mindset shift";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:5;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:13:"psychological";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:6;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:10:"Psychology";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:7;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:11:"unconscious";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:4:"guid";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:37:"https://addicted2success.com/?p=57012";s:7:"attribs";a:1:{s:0:"";a:1:{s:11:"isPermaLink";s:5:"false";}}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:11:"description";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:698:"<p>Sure, success often gets credited to hard work, talent, and a sprinkle of luck.

But dive into psychology, and you’ll find sneaky mental patterns and behaviors messing with your progress.</p> <h2>Here are ten fascinating insights into these hidden barriers, along with some tips to kick them to the curb:</h2> <p> </p> <h3>1. Unconscious Mental Processes and Performance</h3> <p>Our unconscious mind is like a backstage crew, controlling much of the show without us even knowing. It’s tricky because we can’t always tell if it’s one thought or a gang of them messing with our performance.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Why It Happens</strong>: Our brain is a multitasking machine, processing loads of info behind the scenes to keep us functioning. This can sometimes trip us up without us realizing it.</li> <li><strong>Example</strong>: Imagine prepping for a big presentation. Despite being ready, you feel super anxious. Those jitters could be old memories of past screw-ups haunting you.</li> <li><strong>How to Overcome It</strong>: Get into mindfulness and self-reflection. Techniques like journaling can help you spot and deal with these sneaky influences.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <h3>2. All or Nothing Thinking</h3> <p>Ever see things in black-and-white? That’s a cognitive distortion called all-or-nothing thinking. No gray areas, just extremes.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Why It Happens</strong>: Our brain loves to simplify stuff, even if it means being unrealistic. It’s like a shortcut that often leads to stress.</li> <li><strong>Example</strong>: Thinking you have to be perfect at your job or you’re a total flop. It’s all or nothing, no middle ground.</li> <li><strong>How to Overcome It</strong>: Challenge those extreme thoughts. Find the balance and remind yourself that effort and progress matter, even if things aren’t perfect.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <h3>3. Self-Limiting Beliefs</h3> <p>These pesky beliefs sneak in from past experiences and hold us back. They’re like invisible chains.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Why It Happens</strong>: Our brain likes to stick to the familiar to avoid failure. These beliefs get formed early and dig in deep.</li> <li><strong>Example</strong>: Bombed a math test once and now think you’re doomed to suck at math forever? That’s a self-limiting belief in action.</li> <li><strong>How to Overcome It</strong>: Spot these beliefs and question them. Replace them with positive affirmations and look for evidence that proves them wrong.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <h3>4. Habit Formation and Unconscious Behavior</h3> <p>We’re creatures of habit, with a lot of our actions running on autopilot.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Why It Happens</strong>: Our brain automates routines to save energy. Handy, but not always helpful.</li> <li><strong>Example</strong>: Procrastinating? That’s a habit that can tank your productivity and success.</li> <li><strong>How to Overcome It</strong>: Build new, positive habits. Set small, doable goals and track your progress with habit trackers.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <h3>5. Normative Unconscious Processes</h3> <p>These processes keep us stuck in our comfort zones, resisting necessary changes.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Why It Happens</strong>: Familiarity feels safe, so our brain resists change even when it’s good for us.</li> <li><strong>Example</strong>: Sticking with a job you hate because it’s familiar, even though it’s not what you want.</li> <li><strong>How to Overcome It</strong>: Push yourself out of your comfort zone with specific, actionable goals. Get a mentor or coach for support.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <h3>6. Violation of Social Norms</h3> <p>Going against the grain can be seen as abnormal, but sometimes it’s just what’s needed.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Why It Happens</strong>: Society’s unwritten rules can be strict, and breaking them can lead to judgment.</li> <li><strong>Example</strong>: An entrepreneur taking wild risks might seem reckless, but those risks can lead to big breakthroughs.</li> <li><strong>How to Overcome It</strong>: Own your unique approach and find places that value diverse perspectives. Explain your rationale to others and seek support.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <h3>7. Statistical Rarity and Abnormal Behavior</h3> <p>Just because something is rare doesn’t mean it’s wrong. Context is key.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Why It Happens</strong>: What’s unusual can be misunderstood, especially without considering cultural and situational factors.</li> <li><strong>Example</strong>: Preferring solitude might seem antisocial, but in some cultures, it’s a respected trait.</li> <li><strong>How to Overcome It</strong>: Respect cultural differences and find communities that appreciate your uniqueness.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <h3>8. Personal Distress and Behavior</h3> <p>Behaviors that stress you out can be markers of deeper issues, but not always.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Why It Happens</strong>: Distress signals can be about deeper problems or just responses to tough situations.</li> <li><strong>Example</strong>: Chronic stress from overworking can lead to burnout, tanking your performance and well-being.</li> <li><strong>How to Overcome It</strong>: Take care of yourself. Get help if you need it and practice stress management techniques like exercise and meditation.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <h3>9. Maladaptive Behaviors</h3> <p>These are survival strategies gone wrong, sticking around when they’re no longer useful.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Why It Happens</strong>: Behaviors that once helped you cope can become harmful if you keep using them in new situations.</li> <li><strong>Example</strong>: Avoiding conflict might have been useful before, but now it hinders effective communication.</li> <li><strong>How to Overcome It</strong>: Learn new coping strategies that fit your current situation. Practice being assertive and communicating openly.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <h3>10. Impact of Labels on Behavior</h3> <p>Labels can stick like glue, influencing how we see ourselves and how others see us.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Why It Happens</strong>: Labels simplify things but can reinforce negative patterns and limit potential.</li> <li><strong>Example</strong>: Being called “lazy” can crush your self-esteem and motivation, even if it’s not true.</li> <li><strong>How to Overcome It</strong>: Reject negative labels and focus on your strengths. Surround yourself with people who see your potential and support your growth.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Understanding these hidden psychological barriers can help you develop better strategies for success.</p> <p>Recognizing and tackling these unconscious patterns can unlock your full potential and set you on a path to personal and professional growth.</p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow"

style="font-weight: 400;">In an era where data is the new oil, implementing data analytics in your company can be a game-changer for <a href="https://addicted2success.com/life/jeff-bezos-life-changing-decision-making-approach/">better decision-making</a>. </span><span id="more-57001"></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This article will guide you through aligning analytics with your business goals, choosing the right tools and preparing your data for insightful analysis. We’ll also explore various analytics strategies and how to measure their impact effectively. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">By the end, you’ll be equipped with actionable insights to transform your data into a strategic asset, driving growth and efficiency in your organization.</span></p> <h2><b>Identifying Key Business Objectives for Data Analytics</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Experts at </span><a href="https://candf.com/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">CandF.com</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> say that aligning data analytics with your company’s business goals is crucial for driving meaningful results. Imagine you’re aiming to increase sales or improve customer satisfaction. These objectives should be at the forefront of your data strategy. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For instance, if your goal is to boost sales, focus on metrics like conversion rates and average transaction value. On the other hand, if customer satisfaction is your priority, track Net Promoter Score (NPS) and customer feedback.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is essential to prioritize these objectives based on your company’s specific needs. Start by identifying the most pressing issues or opportunities. For example, a retail company might prioritize increasing sales during the holiday season, while a service-based business might focus on reducing customer churn. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Aligning your data analytics efforts with these priorities ensures your team works towards the most impactful goals.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Consider real-world examples to see how this works in practice. A tech startup might use data analytics to identify the most popular app features, guiding future development. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Meanwhile, a restaurant chain could analyze customer feedback to improve menu offerings and service quality. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Focusing on the right objectives and metrics allows you to leverage data analytics to make informed decisions that drive your business forward.</span></p> <h2><b>Choosing the Right Data Analytics Tools and Technologies</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Selecting the right tools and technologies is crucial when implementing data analytics in your company. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Several data analytics tools are available, such as Tableau, Power BI, and Google Analytics. Each of these tools offers unique features, benefits, and costs. For instance, Tableau is known for its robust data visualization capabilities, while Power BI integrates seamlessly with other Microsoft products. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On the other hand, Google Analytics is a go-to for web analytics and offers profound insights into website performance.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To make an informed decision, evaluating these tools based on your company’s specific requirements is essential. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here’s a quick checklist to help you out:</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ease of Use: How user-friendly is the tool?</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Integration: Does it integrate well with your existing systems?</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Scalability: Can it handle your company’s growth?</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cost: What is the total cost of ownership?</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Support: What kind of customer support is available?</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">By carefully considering these factors, you can choose the data analytics tool that best fits your company’s needs, ensuring more informed and effective decision-making.</span></p> <h2><b>Collecting and Preparing Data for Analysis</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/3-invaluable-rules-for-decision-making/">To make informed decisions</a>, you need to start by collecting high-quality data. Various methods exist to gather data, such as surveys, transaction records, and social media. Each method has its advantages and can provide unique insights. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For instance, surveys can give you direct customer feedback, while transaction records can reveal purchasing patterns.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Once you have collected the data, the next crucial step is cleaning and preprocessing. This involves removing duplicates, handling missing values, and correcting errors. Proper data cleaning ensures your analysis is based on accurate and reliable information. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you prepare your data:</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Data Collection: Gather data from various sources like surveys, transaction records, and social media.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Data Cleaning: Remove duplicates, handle missing values, and correct errors.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Data Transformation: Convert data into a suitable format for analysis.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Data Integration: Combine data from different sources to create a unified dataset.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Data Validation: Ensure the data is accurate and consistent.</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">By following these steps, you can ensure that your data is well-prepared for analysis, leading to more accurate and actionable insights. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Properly prepared data is the foundation of effective data analytics and better decision-making.</span></p> <h2><b>Implementing Data Analytics Strategies</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When diving into data analytics, it’s crucial to understand the different strategies available. These include descriptive analytics, which focuses on summarizing past data to understand what has happened; predictive analytics, which uses historical data to forecast future outcomes; and prescriptive analytics, which suggests actions to affect desired outcomes. These strategies play a vital role in making informed decisions and driving business success.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For instance, a retail company might use descriptive analytics to analyze past sales data and identify trends. They could then apply predictive analytics to forecast future sales and optimize inventory levels. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Finally, with prescriptive analytics, they could determine the best promotional strategies to maximize revenue. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A real-world example is Netflix, which uses predictive analytics to recommend shows and movies to its users, significantly enhancing user engagement and satisfaction.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To illustrate a successful implementation, consider the case of a healthcare provider that used predictive analytics to identify patients at high risk of readmission. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">By implementing targeted interventions, they reduced readmission rates by 20%, improving patient outcomes and reducing costs. This case study highlights the transformative power of data analytics when applied effectively.</span></p> <ol> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Start with a clear goal and identify the specific business problem you want to solve.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ensure data quality and consistency to get accurate insights.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Invest in the right tools and technologies that align with your analytics needs.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Build a skilled team with expertise in data science and analytics.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Continuously monitor and refine your analytics strategies to adapt to changing business needs.</span></li> </ol> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">By following these best practices, companies can harness the power of data analytics to drive better decision-making and achieve their business objectives.</span></p> <h2><b>Measuring and Evaluating the Impact of Data Analytics</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So, you’ve jumped on the data analytics bandwagon, but how do you know if it’s working? Measuring the success of your data analytics initiatives is crucial. Start by identifying key performance indicators (KPIs) that align with your business goals. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Think of metrics like ROI (Return on Investment) and customer retention. These are more than just numbers; they tell you if your strategies are hitting or missing the mark.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Let’s break it down with some examples.

Read on to learn the best resume writing tips to turn your experiences into an engaging story. </span></p> <h2><strong>Exploring Career Changers: The Best Resume Writing Tips You Must Learn</strong></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Leaping into a new career is an exciting adventure, but navigating the resume writing process can feel like climbing a mountain without a map. Whether you are shifting industries, roles, or countries, the process of translating your diverse experiences into a cohesive narrative, much like</span><a href="https://centus.com/blog/how-to-translate-documents"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">translating a document</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, can be daunting. Here is how to tackle it head-on.</span></p> <h3><strong>1. Understand Your Unique Story</strong></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Before diving into formatting, it is vital to acknowledge the unique challenges you face compared to traditional career paths:</span></p> <h4><strong>Identify Transferable Skills</strong></h4> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Look beyond your job titles and focus on the work skills for the resume you honed in various roles. For example:</span></p> <ul> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Adaptability</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Communication</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Leadership</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Problem-solving</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Time management</span></li> </ul> <p><b>Actionable tip:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Create a skills inventory by listing all your skills from past roles, personal projects, and volunteer work. Use online resources like the O*NET OnLine to translate your skills to relevant keywords for your target industry.</span></p> <h4><strong>Address Gaps and Changes</strong></h4> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Explain career breaks or changes in your resume summary or cover letter. Frame them by highlighting relevant skills gained during these periods, like:</span></p> <ul> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Freelancing</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Entrepreneurial ventures</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Volunteer work</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You can also showcase the personal development or training you pursued during these periods.</span></p> <h3><strong>2. Tailor Your Resume for Impact</strong></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The next step involves tailoring your resume to speak to your target industry and role, ensuring it reflects a recent resume update:</span></p> <h4><strong>Research</strong></h4> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Before starting your resume, dive deep into what is happening in your target industry. To do it, explore online resources (e.g., industry publications, professional association websites, company career pages) for valuable information like specific skills, keywords, and overall tone employers are looking for.</span></p> <h4><strong>Highlight Relevant Skills and Accomplishments</strong></h4> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Avoid listing your responsibilities. Sprinkle in keywords from job descriptions throughout your resume to showcase how your skills and achievements perfectly match their needs. Quantify your achievements whenever possible.</span></p> <p><b>Actionable tip:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Create a table with specific job descriptions and identify the top 3-5 skills they require. Map your transferable skills to these requirements and prioritize them on your resume.</span></p> <h4><strong>Format Choices</strong></h4> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Consider using a functional or combination resume format. It will emphasize your transferable skills over the chronological order of your jobs, making it perfect for <a href="https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/how-to-fast-track-your-career-for-guaranteed-success/">career changers who want to highlight their adaptability and diverse skill set</a>.</span></p> <p><b>Actionable tip:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Use online resume builders or templates designed for career changers. Many offer various formats and pre-populated sections to help you get started. Some of the best options include:</span></p> <ul> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Zety</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">LiveCareer</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Resume Genius</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">MyPerfectResume</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">ResumeLab</span></li> </ul> <h3><strong>3. Showcase Your Value Proposition</strong></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Craft a compelling resume that screams “Hire me!” by starting with a good summary for resume that encapsulates your career change aspirations and showcases your value proposition:</span></p> <h4><strong>Compelling Summary or Objective Statement</strong></h4> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Write a strong summary or objective statement that summarizes your value proposition and career aspirations. Briefly mention relevant skills, experience, and your passion for the new field.</span></p> <p><b>Actionable tip:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Use online resources like resume writing guides or professional resume reviewers to get feedback and polish your summary statement.</span></p> <h4><strong>Quantifiable Achievements</strong></h4> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Quantify your successes with metrics like increased sales, improved efficiency, or projects completed.</span></p> <p><b>Actionable tip:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Use strong action verbs and specific numbers to showcase the impact you made in previous roles. For example, instead of saying “Managed social media accounts,” say “Increased social media engagement by 25% through targeted content marketing campaigns.”</span></p> <h4><strong>Keywords for Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS)</strong></h4> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Use relevant keywords throughout your resume, ensuring your application gets past ATS. Try to be natural. Avoid stuffing your resume with keywords that do not fit your experience.</span></p> <p><b>Actionable tip:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Use a free ATS keyword scanner tool to analyze your resume and identify areas for improvement.</span></p> <h3><strong>4. Format and Design</strong></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Proper resume presentation also matters. Here are some tips for a professional look:</span></p> <ul> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span> <b>Clear layout:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Choose a clean and easy-to-read layout with consistent fonts and headings. Use white space to avoid a cluttered look.</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span> <b>Readability is key:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Use concise bullet points and avoid lengthy paragraphs.</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span> <b>Highlight for impact:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Use bolding or italics to draw attention to key skills and achievements. Ensure proper formatting throughout the document.</span></li> </ul> <h3><strong>5. Customize</strong></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Avoid sending a generic resume at all costs. Tailor it to each job by highlighting the skills and experiences that matter most to them. Think of it like a conversation: you want to show them why you are the perfect fit based on what they are looking for.</span></p> <h3><strong>6. Add Certifications and Training</strong></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Include relevant certifications and training to showcase your commitment to continuous learning and industry knowledge.</span></p> <h3><strong>7. Proofread and Seek Feedback</strong></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Get someone else to proofread your resume for typos and grammatical errors.</span></p> <p><b>Actionable tip:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Utilize online proofreading tools or grammar checkers as a first pass, then have a trusted friend, colleague, or career counselor review your resume for more in-depth feedback.</span></p> <h2><strong>Beyond the Resume: Building a Comprehensive Application Package</strong></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Your resume is one piece of the puzzle. Leverage other tools for a comprehensive application package to <a href="https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/career-advice-from-15-of-the-worlds-most-famous-founders/">showcase your unique value and increase your chances of landing the interview</a>:</span></p> <h3><strong>1. Cover Letter</strong></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Write an engaging cover letter that reveals your career path in a personal and engaging way. It is your chance to connect with the hiring manager and demonstrate how your unique skills and experiences perfectly align with their needs.</span></p> <p><b>Actionable tip:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Use the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to structure your achievements in the cover letter, providing concrete examples of your problem-solving skills and impact.</span></p> <h3><strong>2. LinkedIn Profile</strong></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Optimize your LinkedIn profile to showcase your skills, experience, and career aspirations.</span></p> <p><b>Actionable tip:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Take part in relevant LinkedIn groups and discussions, contribute insightful comments, and share valuable content to demonstrate your expertise and connect with potential employers.</span></p> <h3><strong>3. Portfolio or Website</strong></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Create a portfolio or website (if relevant to your field) to showcase your work samples, projects, and achievements.</span></p> <p><b>Actionable tip:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Use online portfolio platforms like Behance, Dribbble, or your website to display your work in an appealing and user-friendly format.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The resume writing tips highlighted above will help you produce a CV grabbing the attention of the hiring managers.

With a proper approach and the correct marketing tools, your business can turn each of your visitors into a potential lead that will bring profit to your platform.</span><span id="more-56999"></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But what is this mysterious way of boosting your sales? As you know, everything ingenious is simple, that’s why in today’s article, we will discuss pop-up ads, which represent an efficient marketing tool for any modern digital company.</span></p> <h2><strong>What Is A Pop-Up Ad?</strong></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A pop-up ad is a promotional and advertising technique that can be used to turn platform visitors into leads, test your marketing hypothesis, and boost relations with the audience.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Despite their notorious reputation, pop-up ads are considered rather annoying than useful. We cannot agree with this statement. The choice of the correct </span><a href="https://claspo.io/templates/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">pop up ad template</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and its proper implementation in your business will lead to a significant boost in your conversion rates. So, what exactly will the pop-up ad do for your business? Let’s find out together. </span></p> <h2><strong>How Do Pop-Up Ad Templates Help Your Business? </strong></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Proper use of the pop-up ad in direct interaction with your audience is an indispensable tool for your company. Regardless of the niche you work in or the services you provide to customers, pop-up ads are a great way to evolve your marketing approaches and boost sales.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For example, <a href="https://www.lucatagliaferro.com/post/pop-statistics-and-trends/">an average pop-up conversion rate is equal to </a></span><a href="https://www.lucatagliaferro.com/post/pop-statistics-and-trends/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">11.04%</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. But the truth is that with the necessary modifications and knowledge of your audience, the limit for the increase in conversion rate is boundless. Let’s define the other benefits of adding pop-ups to your brand’s platform today.</span></p> <h3><strong>Quick Conversions</strong></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The first and foremost reason for the pop-up ad implementation is its ability to turn a regular visitor into a constant customer.

It is crucial for the leader himself, the company as well as for society in general.</span><span id="more-56994"></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">By including the concept of sustainability in your leadership, you can move forward, knowing that your team will be able to reach the business goals that you expect them to. Still, at the same time, they can fulfill their societal role. In the end, it will become a win-win situation for everyone. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Let’s take a closer look at how sustainability and leadership connect together.</span></p> <h2><b>Why is Sustainability crucial in Leadership?</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s easy to say that ignoring sustainability leads to future problems, but there’s more to it than that. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Looking at it only in a negative way will not help you and your team reach the goals you have set. In truth, there are actually numerous benefits associated with prioritizing sustainability, which is why many companies have taken the initiative to provide <a href="http://coolplanet.io/">sustainability resources for leaders</a></span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">inside their team. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Below, we will take a closer look at some of the reasons that have brought them to make this decision and why you should entertain them as well.</span></p> <h2><b>Financial</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When leaders make decisions, they often focus on boosting revenues. They want actions that increase profits. Sustainability is something that will help in that regard, at least in the mid to long term. In fact, it has been proven that such practices improve financial performance rather rapidly. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Studying markets by comparing companies with high environmental concerns to others show that those who make an effort tend to also have lower debt and equity costs and outperform the market in time. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is a topic you must look into of you want your company to remain competitive in the years to come. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s simple: companies that prioritize sustainability save money over time. Thanks to lower energy costs that come from government incentives or alternative sources, you can help reduce company’s expenses. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These savings are then translated into improved supply chain efficiency within the company. The decrease in overhead costs also contributes to long-term financial gain, aligning with the primary objective of increasing profitability for businesses. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These are all financial benefits that can be attributed to your leadership if you make decisions keeping the sustainability factor in mind.</span></p> <h2><b>Social</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The old saying ‘give the people what they want’ still applies today. But as values change, companies need to keep up to stay relevant. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Today, sustainability is a key value that is at the forefront of most people’s minds, especially among the younger generation who are starting to make up a large portion of consumers. With the cultural change that is currently happening, that percentage will only keep growing in future years. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This can have a significant impact on a company’s reputation, particularly in the online world where positive perceptions can elevate a business and negative ones can bring it down. Companies that fail to prioritize sustainability may face major consequences in terms of their reputation. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is evident that both individuals and corporations now place importance on supporting businesses that demonstrate a genuine commitment to environmental responsibility.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There is another social reason to aim for sustainability inside your firm. A company’s reputation isn’t just about public opinion; employees’ views matter too. To get the best from them, you should focus on sustainability and ethics. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nowadays, potential employees consider these criteria before joining a company. Therefore, businesses that invest in sustainability will have an easier time retaining their employees and managers, ultimately leading to improved efficiency and financial success within the company. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It will also help attract some of the best talents that may be available on the market. </span></p> <h2><b>The Global Impact of Sustainability in Leadership</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sustainability isn’t just an end goal. <a href="https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/the-power-of-ethical-leadership-how-integrity-drives-success/">Skilled leaders in 2024 know it’s a core value</a>. Those who actively work towards making our world more sustainable not only improve the physical environment, but also contribute to creating a fairer society. It is crucial in the face of climate change and helps combat inequality, ultimately leading to reduced global poverty.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This benefits all businesses as they will have a larger consumer base to sell their products and services to. Ultimately, the goal of sustainability is to create a better planet for all aspects of life.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In short, modern leaders need to see the link between sustainability and their role. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Embracing sustainability is key to business success and society’s well-being. It is a necessary win-win situation that cannot be ignored, as failing to address it could result in negative consequences for you and the company. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The financial benefits it will bring, the positive impact on the reputation of the business you work for and the global societal impact of sustainability underscore its vital connection to effective leadership and emphasizes the importance of embracing sustainable practices for long-term success, no matter which industry you work in. </span></p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/how-to-master-leadership-for-long-lasting-impact/">How to Master Leadership for Long Lasting Impact</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com">Addicted 2 Success</a>.</p> ";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:36:"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/";a:1:{s:10:"commentRss";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:98:"https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/how-to-master-leadership-for-long-lasting-impact/feed/";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:38:"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/";a:1:{s:8:"comments";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:1:"0";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}}}i:10;a:6:{s:4:"data";s:97:" ";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";s:5:"child";a:5:{s:0:"";a:7:{s:5:"title";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:49:"How to Turn Property into Profit and Build Wealth";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:4:"link";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:94:"https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/how-to-turn-property-into-profit-and-build-wealth/";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:8:"comments";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:102:"https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/how-to-turn-property-into-profit-and-build-wealth/#respond";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:7:"pubDate";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:31:"Thu, 06 Jun 2024 13:11:09 +0000";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:8:"category";a:9:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:14:"Success Advice";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:1;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:15:"building wealth";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:2;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:35:"building wealth through real estate";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:3;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:15:"Creating Wealth";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:4;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:9:"Investing";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:5;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:24:"investing in real estate";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:6;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:18:"property investing";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:7;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:21:"real estate investing";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:8;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:22:"real estate investment";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:4:"guid";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:37:"https://addicted2success.com/?p=56992";s:7:"attribs";a:1:{s:0:"";a:1:{s:11:"isPermaLink";s:5:"false";}}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:11:"description";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:403:"<p>The top 10% of households in terms of net worth deriving a significant portion of their wealth from property.</p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/how-to-turn-property-into-profit-and-build-wealth/">How to Turn Property into Profit and Build Wealth</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com">Addicted 2 Success</a>.</p> ";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:32:"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";a:1:{s:7:"creator";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:23:"Addicted2Success Editor";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:40:"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/";a:1:{s:7:"encoded";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:8440:"<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Real estate investing can be a powerful path to building long-term wealth. It offers the potential for appreciation, rental income, and significant tax benefits.</span><span id="more-56992"></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">According to a study by the Federal Reserve, real estate investments are a key driver of wealth accumulation, with the top 10% of households in terms of net worth deriving a significant portion of their wealth from property.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, it isn’t a get-rich-quick scheme. Success requires careful research, strategic planning, and knowledge of the market. This article will provide the essential insights and strategies to begin your investment journey.</span></p> <h2><b>How to Invest in Real Estate</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Real estate investing demands a strategic approach. You can learn from experts like Jason Aintabi, who founded </span><a href="https://www.vandewater.com/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Vandewater</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Capital, a well-known platform</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> investing in </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">private equity businesses. They have diversified their holdings across multiple industries, including heavy industry, clean energy, technology, financial services, and real estate.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Note down their investing approaches and start defining your goals—long-term appreciation, rental income, or profit from flipping. Assess your finances, including down payment and creditworthiness. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Build a team of professionals like realtors and spectators. Research locations and properties carefully, analyzing potential income, expenses, and long-term value. Finally, secure financing can be achieved by exploring mortgage options and comparing lenders. Remember, each step involves detailed research and decision-making.</span></p> <h2><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/how-to-create-wealth-investing-in-real-estate/"><b>Why Invest in Real Estate?</b></a></span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It stands apart from many other investments due to its growth and income-generation potential. Here are the key reasons it deserves your consideration:</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Appreciation:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Historically, property values tend to rise over time. While there are fluctuations, strategic purchases can lead to significant long-term gains.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Cash Flow:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Rental </span><a href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/money-finance/6-ways-to-make-passive-income-through-rental-properties/458662"><span style="font-weight: 400;">properties offer a consistent income</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> stream. With careful management, this income can exceed your mortgage and expenses, providing positive cash flow.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Leverage:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Real estate allows you to utilize loans to acquire properties worth more than your initial investment, maximizing your potential returns.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Tax Benefits:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Owning investment properties may offer deductions for mortgage interest, depreciation, and other expenses. Consult a tax professional for specifics relevant to your situation.</span></li> </ul> <h2><b>Types of Real Estate Investments</b></h2> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Hotels and Commercial Properties:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> These investments offer the potential for higher returns and specialized management opportunities. However, they also come with more significant costs and complexity and are often more sensitive to economic cycles.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Other Options:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Consider these possibilities for your portfolio:</span> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="2"><b>Flipping houses:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Purchasing, renovating, and reselling properties for profit.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="2"><b>Land Investment:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Buying undeveloped land with future development or resale potential.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="2"><b>REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts):</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Gain exposure without direct property ownership through publicly traded companies.</span></li> </ul> </li> </ul> <h2><b>Essential Steps Before Taking the Plunge</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Before purchasing any investment property, you must take these strategic steps: Define your goals- determine if you seek short-term profit (like flipping) or long-term gains from appreciation and rental income. Consider how involved you want to be in the management process. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Assess your finances- analyze your credit score, available funds for a down payment, and your ability to qualify for a mortgage. Have emergency funds for unexpected repairs or vacancies.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Build a team- a strong support network is crucial. Find a knowledgeable realtor, a thorough property inspector, and a lawyer. Depending on your goals, a property manager can be a valuable asset.</span></p> <h2><b>Financing Your Investment</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Real estate investments often rely on financing. Understanding your options is critical for securing favorable terms. Consider the differences between conventional mortgages (usually requiring strong credit) and FHA or other government-backed loans (which may offer greater flexibility). Choose between </span><a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/fixed-rate_mortgage.asp"><span style="font-weight: 400;">fixed-rate mortgages</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> (offering payment stability) and adjustable-rate mortgages (where payments fluctuate).</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Your down payment directly impacts interest rates. Aim for at least a 20% down payment to secure better terms and reduce overall investment costs. Explore strategies to accelerate your savings and research down payment assistance programs available in your area.</span></p> <h2><b>Property Management Considerations</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Once you own an investment property, you must decide how to manage it. Here are the key considerations:</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Landlord or Hire Management? </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Directly handling tenant inquiries, maintenance, and rent collection can be time-consuming. Professional property management companies handle these tasks for a fee, typically a percentage of the monthly rent. Evaluate the potential time savings against the added cost to make an informed decision.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Understanding Landlord-Tenant Laws:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Regardless of your management choice, familiarize yourself with the landlord-tenant laws in the area. These regulations cover tenant screening, security deposits, lease agreements, evictions, and other issues. Ignorance of the law can lead to costly legal complications.</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Real estate investment can be a powerful path to building wealth. Success requires knowledge, careful planning, and strategic decision-making. Continue learning by seeking experienced mentors, reliable online resources, and industry publications. Most importantly, start with the end in mind. Define your investment goals clearly to guide your choices throughout the process.</span></p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/how-to-turn-property-into-profit-and-build-wealth/">How to Turn Property into Profit and Build Wealth</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com">Addicted 2 Success</a>.</p> ";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:36:"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/";a:1:{s:10:"commentRss";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:99:"https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/how-to-turn-property-into-profit-and-build-wealth/feed/";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:38:"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/";a:1:{s:8:"comments";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:1:"0";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}}}i:11;a:6:{s:4:"data";s:88:" ";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";s:5:"child";a:5:{s:0:"";a:7:{s:5:"title";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:66:"176 Inspirational Pablo Picasso Quotes on Art, Creativity and Life";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:4:"link";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:102:"https://addicted2success.com/quotes/176-inspirational-pablo-picasso-quotes-on-art-creativity-and-life/";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:8:"comments";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:110:"https://addicted2success.com/quotes/176-inspirational-pablo-picasso-quotes-on-art-creativity-and-life/#respond";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:7:"pubDate";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:31:"Tue, 04 Jun 2024 21:17:26 +0000";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:8:"category";a:6:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:6:"Quotes";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:1;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:3:"art";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:2;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:10:"Creativity";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:3;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:13:"pablo picasso";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:4;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:28:"pablo picasso picture quotes";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:5;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:20:"pablo picasso quotes";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:4:"guid";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:37:"https://addicted2success.com/?p=56985";s:7:"attribs";a:1:{s:0:"";a:1:{s:11:"isPermaLink";s:5:"false";}}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:11:"description";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:677:"<p>Hey there, art lovers and curious minds!

Boost morale, lead with clarity, and embrace hard work to conquer your industry.</p> <p>Don’t just survive—thrive with the power of Napoleon’s lessons.</p> <h1>Here are 15 Powerful Lessons You Can Learn From Napoleon Bonaparte</h1> <p> </p> <h2><strong>1. Dream Big, Think Bold</strong></h2> <p>Napoleon wasn’t just playing small; he believed that “Imagination rules the world.” In the business world, boldness and creativity are game-changers. Don’t just aim to fit in—push boundaries and set ambitious goals that make you stand out.</p> <p>Think of Steve Jobs, who didn’t just want to make computers; he wanted to revolutionize entire industries. Your vision should be so grand it almost feels unreachable. When you dream big, you inspire those around you to believe in the impossible and work together to achieve extraordinary outcomes.</p> <h2><strong>2. Move Fast, Stay Agile</strong></h2> <p>Napoleon’s quick and secretive moves gave him an edge. In business, you gotta be nimble. Adapt quickly, move fast, and you’ll often find yourself ahead of the game, capturing opportunities your competitors miss.</p> <p>Companies like Amazon and Tesla thrive because they constantly innovate and pivot when needed. Speed is your friend; it allows you to react to market changes and customer demands faster than the competition, ensuring you remain relevant and ahead of the curve.</p> <h2><strong>3. Creative Leadership</strong></h2> <p>Napoleon thrived on chaos and wasn’t afraid to switch things up. Unlike rigid leaders, he was flexible and adaptive. In business, embrace change and let chaos work for you. Being adaptable can turn unpredictable situations into opportunities.</p> <p>Think of how Netflix transitioned from DVD rentals to a streaming giant. Flexibility and creativity in leadership allow you to navigate through turmoil and emerge stronger, transforming challenges into stepping stones.</p> <h3> </h3> <h2><strong>4. Organize Like a Pro</strong></h2> <p>Napoleon’s mind was like a supercomputer, processing vast amounts of info to make smart moves. Businesses should do the same—stay organized, use real-time data, and adapt strategies based on fresh insights to keep that competitive edge.</p> <p>Utilize modern tools like CRM systems, analytics software, and AI to manage information efficiently. Staying organized and informed means you can make better decisions, foresee potential issues, and react promptly.</p> <h3> </h3> <h2><strong>5. Keep It Simple</strong></h2> <p>Napoleon knew the power of simplicity. Overcomplicating things can bog you down. In business, streamline processes and focus on what truly matters to hit your goals efficiently.</p> <p>Apple’s product design philosophy under Jobs was about simplicity and user-friendliness.When you remove unnecessary complexity, you reduce errors, speed up processes, and make it easier for your team to focus on what’s important, driving efficiency and effectiveness.</p> <h3> </h3> <h2><strong>6. Execute Relentlessly</strong></h2> <p>Once Napoleon decided on a course of action, he went all in. In business, once you pick a direction, pursue it with full commitment. Execution is where success is truly made.</p> <p>Look at how Elon Musk commits to his vision for SpaceX and Tesla. Relentless execution means overcoming obstacles, staying focused on your goals, and not getting distracted by setbacks. It’s the determination and persistence in execution that ultimately leads to triumph.</p> <h3> </h3> <h2><strong>7. Play to Your Strengths</strong></h2> <p>Napoleon only fought battles he knew he could win. In business, focus on your strengths and avoid head-to-head fights in areas where you’re weak. Know your advantages and leverage them.</p> <p>Microsoft leverages its strength in software development and cloud services rather than trying to compete directly in hardware. Understanding and maximizing your strengths ensures you play a game you can win, using your unique capabilities to outshine competitors.</p> <h3> </h3> <h2><strong>8. Plan in Detail</strong></h2> <p>Napoleon planned for every possible scenario. Businesses should do the same—conduct thorough planning and prepare for various outcomes.</p> <p>Detailed planning helps you stay ready for anything. Scenario planning and SWOT analysis are tools that can help you foresee different futures and prepare accordingly. When you’re prepared for multiple scenarios, you can adapt smoothly and continue to drive forward, no matter what challenges arise.</p> <h3> </h3> <h2><strong>9. Seize Opportunities</strong></h2> <p>Napoleon saw luck as the ability to capitalize on accidents. In business, be prepared and ready to grab unexpected opportunities. Agility is key.</p> <p>Companies like Uber and Airbnb seized gaps in the market by being ready to pounce on opportunities when they arose. Always be on the lookout for opportunities, and when they come, don’t hesitate. Preparation and readiness to act quickly can turn unexpected moments into major breakthroughs.</p> <h3> </h3> <h2><strong>10. Learn from the Past</strong></h2> <p>Napoleon studied the greats who came before him. Entrepreneurs should always be learning from the successes and failures of others. History is full of lessons waiting to be applied.</p> <p>Warren Buffett is famous for studying businesses and market histories. By learning from the past, you can avoid repeating mistakes, understand what works, and build on proven strategies. Continuous learning from history helps refine your strategies and improve decision-making.</p> <h3> </h3> <h2><strong>11. Boost Morale</strong></h2> <p>Napoleon knew how to keep his troops motivated. Business leaders should do the same—keep your team inspired and engaged. High morale leads to high productivity.</p> <p>Companies like Google and Salesforce invest heavily in employee well-being and motivation. When your team feels valued and motivated, they are more productive, innovative, and loyal. High morale fosters a positive work environment where people are excited to contribute and excel.</p> <h3> </h3> <h2><strong>12. Lead with Clarity</strong></h2> <p>Napoleon believed in the power of a strong, decisive leader. In business, clear direction and strong leadership are crucial. Ensure everyone knows the plan and follows it.</p> <p>Leaders like Jeff Bezos provide a clear vision and direction, ensuring their teams know what they’re working towards. Clear, decisive leadership aligns your team, fosters trust, and drives coordinated efforts towards achieving your business goals.</p> <h3> </h3> <h2><strong>13. Reflect on Failures</strong></h2> <p>Napoleon analyzed both his wins and losses. Businesses should review their successes and failures to keep improving. Learn from mistakes to avoid repeating them.</p> <p>Ray Dalio of Bridgewater Associates emphasizes the importance of learning from failure in his book <em>Principles</em>. By conducting post-mortems, you can understand what went wrong, make necessary adjustments, and continuously refine your strategies to avoid future pitfalls and drive success.</p> <h3> </h3> <h2><strong>14. Action-Oriented</strong></h2> <p>Napoleon was all about turning thoughts into actions. In business, decisiveness and execution are vital. Don’t just plan—act on those plans with energy and determination.</p> <p>Entrepreneurs like Richard Branson embody this principle by constantly moving from ideas to actions. Action orientation ensures that you don’t get stuck in analysis paralysis but instead drive forward, making things happen and turning visions into reality.</p> <h3> </h3> <h2><strong>15. Embrace Hard Work</strong></h2> <div class="flex flex-grow flex-col max-w-full"> <div class="min-h-[20px] text-message flex flex-col items-start whitespace-pre-wrap break-words [.text-message+&]:mt-5 juice:w-full juice:items-end overflow-x-auto gap-2" dir="auto" data-message-author-role="assistant" data-message-id="748ad9c0-aaf6-4277-8be9-68b1423a87be"> <div class="flex w-full flex-col gap-1 juice:empty:hidden juice:first:pt-[3px]"> <div class="markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert light"> <p>Napoleon lived and breathed work, saying, <em>“Work is my element; I am born and built for work.”</em></p> <p>In business, a strong work ethic and relentless dedication are key to success. Think of how Howard Schultz rebuilt Starbucks through sheer hard work and determination. Embracing hard work means being willing to put in the necessary effort, staying dedicated to your mission, and continuously pushing towards your goals, no matter the challenges.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <p> </p> <h2>By implementing these lessons from Napoleon, businesses can sharpen their strategies, strengthen leadership, and execute with precision, driving sustained success.</h2> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com/startups/15-business-lessons-from-napoleons-playbook/">15 Business Lessons From Napoleon’s Playbook</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com">Addicted 2 Success</a>.</p> ";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:36:"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/";a:1:{s:10:"commentRss";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:87:"https://addicted2success.com/startups/15-business-lessons-from-napoleons-playbook/feed/";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:38:"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/";a:1:{s:8:"comments";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:1:"0";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}}}i:13;a:6:{s:4:"data";s:88:" ";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";s:5:"child";a:5:{s:0:"";a:7:{s:5:"title";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:49:"Keep Any Project on Track With These 5 Strategies";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:4:"link";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:94:"https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/keep-any-project-on-track-with-these-5-strategies/";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:8:"comments";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:102:"https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/keep-any-project-on-track-with-these-5-strategies/#respond";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:7:"pubDate";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:31:"Mon, 03 Jun 2024 20:43:16 +0000";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:8:"category";a:6:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:14:"Success Advice";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:1;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:13:"Business Tips";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:2;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:13:"entrepreneurs";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:3;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:23:"how to manage a project";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:4;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:18:"Project Management";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:5;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:15:"project manager";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:4:"guid";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:37:"https://addicted2success.com/?p=56977";s:7:"attribs";a:1:{s:0:"";a:1:{s:11:"isPermaLink";s:5:"false";}}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:11:"description";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:353:"<p>Planning and executing a project is crucial to its success.</p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/keep-any-project-on-track-with-these-5-strategies/">Keep Any Project on Track With These 5 Strategies</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com">Addicted 2 Success</a>.</p> ";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:32:"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";a:1:{s:7:"creator";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:23:"Addicted2Success Editor";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:40:"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/";a:1:{s:7:"encoded";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:6467:"<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For every company it is important to keep developing and growing. To do so, there are many ways a business can continuously grow.</span><span id="more-56977"></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of these methods is by having multiple projects running. Starting a project can be a challenging task, but once a project runs smoothly, it is also a very exciting task. But what is the best way to set up a project as a company? You have to take different aspects into account and anticipate different situations. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this article, we will discuss five tips that can help you keep your projects running smoothly.</span></p> <h2><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://addicted2success.com/life/the-secrets-to-mastering-goal-setting-according-to-tony-robbins/"><b>1. Create clear goals</b></a></span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Just as with every other project, it is important to set clear and reachable goals. These goals should satisfy a number of aspects. First of all, they should be measurable. By making the goals measurable, you and your team will know when a goal has been reached. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is important that you do an initial measurement and a final measurement, so you know if and when progress has been made. In addition, formulated goals should be realistic. By setting realistic goals, you can work more efficiently and effectively. When a goal seems unrealistic, it can reduce motivation because the goal seems so far away.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Setting reachable goals is not only important for the project itself but also for the team. The project goals will also make sure that everyone who is working on the project has the same direction for the project in mind. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now everyone knows what they want to achieve and can think of how they can achieve it.</span></p> <h2><b>2. Make use of software</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Besides setting clear and realistic goals, it is also important to use different software. Using </span><a href="https://www.psohub.com/en/hubspot-project-management"><span style="font-weight: 400;">project management software</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> allows you, your project members and your company to streamline communication, distribute tasks and track progress. This gives a good understanding of the current state of the project. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Furthermore you and your team can track the current progress and see how far the goals are from being reached. Monitoring the project progress is essential to ensure that everything is on track. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There are different online platforms that could help you and your team to streamline communication. The best part about using an online platform is that everyone can always have access to it. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Maybe some employees work at home for a couple of days in the week, this will be no problem when using online software. </span></p> <h2><b>3. Keep communicating well</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Having good communication is important in every company and project. Not having clear communication, team members and stakeholders could feel detached to the project and therefore your company. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">By communicating structured with the team, they can keep each other up to date on the status of different projects, furthermore you can help each other if needed and ensure that everyone stays involved in the project.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It could be a smart move to assign one person to manage the communication within the project. This person will be responsible for streamlining the communication and informing everyone regularly about the progress. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">By doing so, everyone will know who to talk to when they would want some more information about the project or have some specific questions.</span></p> <h2><b>4. Risk Management</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There are risks associated with every project. The bigger the project, the more risks are involved. It is therefore very important that you recognise and acknowledge potential risks at an early stage. This is where risk management can help you. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">By writing down potential risks, you identify what could possibly go wrong. After this, you can develop a plan on how you want to mitigate each risk. By performing good risk management, you show that you know what you are doing. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This keeps the motivation of your project members high. So it is very important that you regularly identify potential risks and adjust your course if necessary.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Also for this matter, it can be important to assign one person to be responsible for risk management. This person can develop him or herself to learn about risk management and to follow different courses on how to prevent risks. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is important that one person is the responsible person who can be contacted by stakeholders or interested to learn more about the project.</span></p> <h2><b>5. Flexibility</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Having flexibility in a project can be a very important aspect in a project. Every project involves risks, therefore unexpected changes, potential delays, challenges and extra costs can occur. It is therefore important to be able to adapt the project and the team to changes in the planning. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is therefore also important that everyone is resistant to changes and can handle uncertain situations. Try to collaborate with flexible and open minded people that are proactive and want the project to succeed.</span></p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/keep-any-project-on-track-with-these-5-strategies/">Keep Any Project on Track With These 5 Strategies</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com">Addicted 2 Success</a>.</p> ";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:36:"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/";a:1:{s:10:"commentRss";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:99:"https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/keep-any-project-on-track-with-these-5-strategies/feed/";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:38:"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/";a:1:{s:8:"comments";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:1:"0";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}}}i:14;a:6:{s:4:"data";s:97:" ";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";s:5:"child";a:5:{s:0:"";a:7:{s:5:"title";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:53:"How to Use Reflective Thinking to Transform Your Life";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:4:"link";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:88:"https://addicted2success.com/life/how-to-use-reflective-thinking-to-transform-your-life/";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:8:"comments";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:96:"https://addicted2success.com/life/how-to-use-reflective-thinking-to-transform-your-life/#respond";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:7:"pubDate";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:31:"Fri, 31 May 2024 21:00:15 +0000";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:8:"category";a:9:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:4:"Life";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:1;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:7:"Clarity";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:2;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:19:"personal reflection";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:3;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:7:"purpose";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:4;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:18:"reflecting on life";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:5;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:10:"reflection";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:6;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:19:"reflective thinking";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:7;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:15:"self reflection";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:8;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:8:"thoughts";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:4:"guid";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:37:"https://addicted2success.com/?p=56769";s:7:"attribs";a:1:{s:0:"";a:1:{s:11:"isPermaLink";s:5:"false";}}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:11:"description";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:355:"<p>Clarity of mind is the key to success in the contemporary world</p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com/life/how-to-use-reflective-thinking-to-transform-your-life/">How to Use Reflective Thinking to Transform Your Life</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com">Addicted 2 Success</a>.</p> ";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:32:"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";a:1:{s:7:"creator";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:8:"M.S.

People don’t find time to think through other than their deadlines. People have become very busy indeed! Everybody says </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">I’m busy</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span><span id="more-56769"></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What is the solution? Why did God give us life? Is there any meaning to such life where we constantly struggle for something that most of the time found to be meaningless?</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this regard, let us concentrate on <a href="https://addicted2success.com/life/the-power-of-self-reflection-how-it-can-change-your-life/">the concept of reflective thinking</a> as it provides solutions for several evils in society and pressures in today’s life. </span></p> <h2><b>What is Reflective Thinking (RT)?</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">John Dewey coined the concept “reflective thought” in 1910 in his work captioned </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">How We Think</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, for Teachers. He defines reflective thinking as “Active, persistent, and careful consideration of any belief or supposed form of knowledge in the light of the grounds that support it and the further conclusion to which it tends” (Dewey,1933). </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, the concept has undergone a lot of modifications over some time. RT sounds like a thinking chair—a practice by John C. Maxwell that allows thinking through silently in clearing the clutter and making decisions. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Reflective thinking is reflecting on what you do for your progress. It polishes your approach to reach your goals faster. It paves the way for your success. It is one of the ingredients for your smart work. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Reflective thinking is beyond introspection. It involves analyzing the current trends and patterns in the mind. It streamlines your mind by removing irrelevant and outdated ideas and insights thus allowing more space to accept and accommodate new ones. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is like deleting the waste files and replacing them with wanted files in any computer system. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It provides breathing space to your mind. As people find it hard to breathe properly due to pressures, they find it hard to think as well. Therefore, reflective thinking is an effective tool for reflecting and thinking through new ideas. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It enhances your creativity. There is tremendous potential in this concept to utilize your vast human potential.</span></p> <h2><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://addicted2success.com/life/5-ways-you-can-practice-self-reflection-to-uncover-your-best-self/"><b>Advantages of reflection</b></a></span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If people spend a little time in reflective thinking they can find their personal and professional lives to be more meaningful and productive. At times people pursue routine activities without taking stock of the situation resulting in outdated practices and ending up nowhere. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here are some advantages of reflective thinking. </span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Reflection makes life meaningful. We get out of outdated practices and habits. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Reflection helps you analyze your areas of strengths and weaknesses. It helps you realize where you stand in terms of your performance. It provides you with the right feedback. Like solitude, reflection helps you take stock of the situation. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">It provides you with growth opportunities. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Whenever you face challenges you can adopt this tool to find appropriate ideas. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">It removes confusion and clutter from your mind thus providing you clarity in mind. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">It helps in problem-solving.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Above all, it manages your time effectively.</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hence, spend some time in solitude to reflect your mind. Your mind goes for self-introspection and reflects your thoughts effectively for behavioral changes. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Daniel Patrick Forrester rightly refers to the importance of reflective thinking as follows: “It was said that Thomas Edison would often take his fishing rod, sit at the end of the pier, cast away, and then just sit there for hours. However, he would never put any bait on his hook. He didn’t want to catch any fish. What he wanted to do was to sit there uninterrupted, just reflecting on the issues of the day, on his work, or on whatever else came into his mind. He knew that if he looked as if he were fishing, no one would bother him, so he could reflect uninterrupted. All he wanted to do was catch ideas.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Edison signed many pictures for friends and admirers filled with the visionaries’ advice. To one friend he said, “All things come to him who hustles while he waits. Your friend, Thomas Edison.” Therefore, it becomes clear that great people spend some time reflecting on their thoughts. </span></p> <h2><b>Reflection and Information Overload</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The invention of the internet led to information overload. People think less and reflect less as a lot of information is available to them on a platter. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">They are often confused between what to choose and reject. By the way, what do you mean by information overload? Let us find out. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The term ‘<a href="https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/5-ways-to-conquer-information-overload/">Information Overload</a>‘ was coined by Alvin Toffler much before the internet revolution. It is about giving excess information that clutters the human mind and confuses people. It prevents people from understanding the real content. Sometimes it deviates from the main topic and area of interest. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">John C. Maxwell reveals in his book </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Success</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, “More new information has been produced in the last thirty years than in the previous five thousand. A single weekday edition of the New York Times contains more information than most people in seventeenth-century England were likely to encounter in their lifetimes.” </span></p> <h2><b>Reflection and Contribution</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Reflection is beyond introspection. It is an imaginative inquiry. Everybody must reflect on how much difference is made to society. It is talking to oneself and inner self. How far an individual is useful to himself and others? </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What value is an individual adding? What difference does an individual make for others? If everybody reflects then there will be all-round peace and prosperity universally.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Reflection paves the way for progress. It paves the way for success. It breaks the traditional barriers and limitations. It makes people stretch beyond their capabilities and competencies. It develops human potential. It raises your dreams and aspirations. It bridges the gap between aspirations and accomplishments. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Reflection is a powerful tool for promoting human potential.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The human mind is a powerful device. It has huge potential and man does not use it fully. Man must learn to use it properly. Reflective thinking comes in handy in using the human mind and potential properly. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In addition, clarity of mind is the key to success in the contemporary world. By reflective thinking, you remove clutter from your mind and that helps you simplify and overcome many obstacles in your life paving the way for your success.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Viktor Frankl wrote </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Man’s Search for Meaning</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> long ago. Now it is time again to search for meaning in one’s life by introspection, removing clutter, managing time, caring for your family and friends, and making a difference in this great human civilization. </span></p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com/life/how-to-use-reflective-thinking-to-transform-your-life/">How to Use Reflective Thinking to Transform Your Life</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com">Addicted 2 Success</a>.</p> ";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:36:"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/";a:1:{s:10:"commentRss";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:93:"https://addicted2success.com/life/how-to-use-reflective-thinking-to-transform-your-life/feed/";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:38:"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/";a:1:{s:8:"comments";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:1:"0";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}}}i:15;a:6:{s:4:"data";s:94:" ";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";s:5:"child";a:5:{s:0:"";a:7:{s:5:"title";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:38:"10 Ways Your Life is Like a Video Game";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:4:"link";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:106:"https://addicted2success.com/videos/video-thinking-of-life-as-a-video-game-levelling-up-in-the-real-world/";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:8:"comments";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:115:"https://addicted2success.com/videos/video-thinking-of-life-as-a-video-game-levelling-up-in-the-real-world/#comments";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:7:"pubDate";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:31:"Fri, 31 May 2024 02:37:29 +0000";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:8:"category";a:8:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:4:"Life";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:1;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:6:"Videos";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:2;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:8:"Level Up";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:3;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:12:"Nerd Fitness";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:4;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:10:"Steve Kamb";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:5;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:15:"successful life";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:6;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:3:"TED";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:7;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:10:"Video Game";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:4:"guid";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:36:"https://addicted2success.com/?p=7202";s:7:"attribs";a:1:{s:0:"";a:1:{s:11:"isPermaLink";s:5:"false";}}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:11:"description";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:658:"<p>Watch this amazing TED presentation by Steve Kamb to find out how you can live your life like an awesome video game.

Steve has applied the most addicting and enjoyable aspects of video game culture to leveling up in real life, culminating in his worldwide <em><strong>Epic Quest of Awesome</strong></em>.</p> <h2>Here’s how Steve Kamb, founder of Nerd Fitness, often compares life to a video game and his perspective for you:</h2> <ol> <li><strong>Leveling Up</strong>: Think of your life like a character in an RPG. Each day, you’re grinding experience points. Whether you’re learning a new skill, hitting the gym, or tackling a project, you’re leveling up your stats.</li> <li><strong>Quests and Side Missions</strong>: Your goals are like main quests in a game, but don’t ignore the side missions. These are the hobbies, adventures, and passions that make life richer and more enjoyable.</li> <li><strong>Health Bar</strong>: Just like in games, your health bar matters. You need to take care of your body with proper nutrition, exercise, and rest to avoid burnout and stay in peak condition.</li> <li><strong>Inventory Management</strong>: Your time, energy, and resources are limited. Manage them wisely. Keep your inventory clutter-free by focusing on what truly matters and dropping what doesn’t serve you.</li> <li><strong>Boss Battles</strong>: Challenges and obstacles are like boss battles. They’re tough, but they’re designed to test your skills and push you to grow. Embrace them and learn from each defeat.</li> <li><strong>Guilds and Parties</strong>: You don’t have to go solo. Surround yourself with a supportive crew, your guild or party, who can help you, provide advice, and make the journey more fun.</li> <li><strong>Unlocking Achievements</strong>: Celebrate your victories, big and small. Achievements aren’t just for gamers; acknowledging your progress keeps you motivated and focused.</li> <li><strong>Character Customization</strong>: Personal development is like customizing your character. Invest in yourself, refine your strengths, and work on your weaknesses to become the best version of you.</li> <li><strong>Exploration</strong>: Don’t just stick to the main storyline. Explore new areas, try new things, and step out of your comfort zone. The world is vast and full of opportunities.</li> <li><strong>Game Over?</strong>: There’s no real game over until it’s all over.

However, nothing could be further from the truth.</span><span id="more-56762"></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Far from being a fleeting trend or superficial attribute, empathy is a fundamental aspect of effective leadership — a timeless principle that transcends industry, culture, and organizational context. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s important to recognize that empathy is not synonymous with weakness or vulnerability. On the contrary, empathy is a strength — a source of power and influence for great leaders. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Leaders who demonstrate empathy are better equipped to inspire, motivate, and mobilize their teams towards shared goals. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Empathetic leaders are adept at building meaningful connections with others, navigating complex interpersonal dynamics, and driving positive change within their organizations.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Empathy is more than just a buzzword — it’s a guiding principle, a moral compass, and a catalyst for meaningful change within organizations. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Empathy is synonymous with compassion, understanding, sensitivity, and kindness, and is fundamental to meaningful relationships and effective communication within organizations.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The ability to understand and share the feelings of others is not only a fundamental aspect of effective leadership but also a critical driver of organizational success. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">By embracing empathy as a cornerstone of their leadership philosophy, aspirational leaders are able to not only unlock the full potential of their teams, but drive lasting impact in the world. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Great leaders understand that their success is intrinsically tied to the well-being and engagement of their teams. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/empathy-can-be-the-number-one-growth-catalyst-for-your-business/">When leaders demonstrate empathy, they foster trust, respect, and psychological safety among their team members</a> and create an environment where individuals feel valued, heard, and supported. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Employees feel understood and appreciated, and consequently are more engaged, motivated, and committed to achieving shared goals.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These are among the many ways that empathy serves as the X-factor of leadership success:</span></p> <h2><b>1. Drives innovation</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Empathy is a powerful tool for driving innovation and problem-solving within organizations. Empathetic leaders appreciate the unique challenges and perspectives of their team members. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In doing so, these leaders harness the collective wisdom of the group, which leads to more creative solutions and better outcomes. Empathy enables leaders to anticipate potential roadblocks, identify opportunities for improvement, and inspire a culture of continuous learning and growth.</span></p> <h2><b>2. Aids in conflict resolution</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Empathy is essential for effective conflict resolution and relationship management. In any organization, conflicts and disagreements are inevitable. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, empathetic leaders approach these challenges by seeking to understand the underlying causes of conflict and finding mutually beneficial resolutions. They engage in </span><a href="https://www.mindtools.com/az4wxv7/active-listening"><span style="font-weight: 400;">active listening</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and acknowledge the perspectives of all parties involved. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">By demonstrating empathy and compassion, these leaders are able to de-escalate tensions and build consensus.</span></p> <h2><b>3. Enhances employee engagement</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Empathy is a key driver of organizational culture and employee engagement. </span><a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/tracybrower/2021/09/19/empathy-is-the-most-important-leadership-skill-according-to-research/?sh=442f66803dc5"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Research</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> consistently shows that employees who perceive their leaders as empathetic and caring are more satisfied with their jobs and more likely to go above and beyond in their roles. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Conversely, organizations that lack empathetic leadership may experience higher turnover rates, lower morale, and decreased productivity. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">By prioritizing empathy, leaders cultivate a culture of engagement in which employees feel valued, supported, and empowered to thrive.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The notion that great leaders can succeed without empathy is a fallacy. Empathy is a critical competency that distinguishes exceptional leaders from merely good ones. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">From fostering meaningful relationships and driving innovation to resolving conflicts and cultivating a positive organizational culture, empathy is indispensable for effective leadership. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As Theodore Roosevelt said, “</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nobody cares how much you know until they know how much you care.” </span></p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/the-real-x-factor-of-leadership-success/">The Real X-Factor of Leadership Success</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com">Addicted 2 Success</a>.</p> ";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:36:"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/";a:1:{s:10:"commentRss";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:89:"https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/the-real-x-factor-of-leadership-success/feed/";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:38:"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/";a:1:{s:8:"comments";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:1:"0";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}}}i:17;a:6:{s:4:"data";s:112:" ";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";s:5:"child";a:5:{s:0:"";a:7:{s:5:"title";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:40:"20 Creative Ways To Make Money From Home";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:4:"link";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:85:"https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/10-creative-ways-to-make-money-from-home/";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:8:"comments";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:94:"https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/10-creative-ways-to-make-money-from-home/#comments";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:7:"pubDate";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:31:"Thu, 30 May 2024 15:03:51 +0000";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:8:"category";a:14:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:14:"Success Advice";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:1;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:15:"business online";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:2;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:19:"Home Based Business";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:3;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:10:"home money";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:4;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:13:"job from home";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:5;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:10:"Make Money";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:6;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:20:"make money from home";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:7;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:24:"make money from my house";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:8;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:22:"making money from home";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:9;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:15:"money from home";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:10;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:15:"Online Business";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:11;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:16:"stay at home mum";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:12;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:17:"stay at home mums";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:13;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:18:"work from home job";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:4:"guid";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:37:"https://addicted2success.com/?p=18389";s:7:"attribs";a:1:{s:0:"";a:1:{s:11:"isPermaLink";s:5:"false";}}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:11:"description";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:579:"<p>The idea of making money from home at your own pace without having to worry about an employer is appealing to many.

I’m not even being sarcastic or self-deprecating. I’ve never done anything that stands out as, “Woah! This guy made it into outer space! Or…this guy has a bestselling novel! Or…if only Google had thought of this!” I’ve had some successes and some failures but never reached any of the goals I had initially set. Always slipped off along the way, off the yellow brick road, into the wilderness.</p> <p>I’ve started a bunch of companies. Sold some. Failed at most. I’ve invested in a bunch of startups. Sold some. Failed at some, and the jury is still sequestered on a few others. I’ve written some books, most of which I no longer like. I can tell you overall, though, everything I have done has been distinguished by its mediocrity, its lack of a grand vision, and any success I’ve had can be just as much put in the luck basket as the effort basket.</p> <p>That said, all people should be so lucky. We can’t all be grand visionaries. We can’t all be Picassos. We want to make our business, make our art, sell it, make some money, raise a family, and try to be happy. My feeling, based on my own experience, is that aiming for grandiosity is the fastest route to failure. For every Mark Zuckerberg there are 1000 Jack Zuckermans. Who is Jack Zuckerman? I have no idea. That’s my point. If you are Jack Zuckerman and are reading this, I apologize. You aimed for the stars and missed. Your re-entry into the atmosphere involved a broken heat shield and you burned to a crisp by the time you hit the ocean. Now we have no idea who you are.</p> <p>If you want to get rich, sell your company, have time for your hobbies, raise a halfway decent family, and enjoy the sunset with your wife on occasion, here are some of my highly effective recommendations.</p> <p> </p> <h3><span style="color: #ff6600;">1</span> – Procrastination</h3> <p>Procrastination is your body telling you you need to back off a bit and think more about what you are doing. When you procrastinate as an entrepreneur it could mean that you need a bit more time to think about what you are pitching a client. It could also mean you are doing work that is not your forte and that you are better off delegating. I find that many entrepreneurs are trying to do everything when it would be cheaper and more time-efficient to delegate, even if there are up front monetary costs associated with that. In my first business, it was like a lightbulb went off in my head the first time I delegated a programming job to someone other than me. Why did I decide finally to delegate then at that particular point? I had a hot date. Which was infinitely better than me sweating all night on some stupid programming bug.</p> <p><a title="Why you are procrastinating" href="https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/the-6-different-types-of-procrastinators-find-your-type-well-show-you-how-to-fix-it/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Try to figure out why you are procrastinating</a>. Maybe you need to brainstorm more to improve an idea. Maybe the idea is no good as is. Maybe you need to delegate. Maybe you need to learn more. Maybe you don’t enjoy what you are doing. Maybe you don’t like the client whose project you were just working on. Maybe you need to take a break. There’s only so many seconds in a row you can think about something before you need to take time off and rejuvenate the creative muscles. This is not for everyone. Great people can storm right through. Steve Jobs never needed to take a break. But I do.</p> <p>Procrastination could also be a strong sign that you are a perfectionist. That you are filled with shame issues. This will block you from building and selling your business. Examine your procrastination from every side. It’s your body trying to tell you something. Listen to it.</p> <p> </p> <h3><span style="color: #ff6600;">2</span> – Zero-tasking</h3> <p>There’s a common myth that great people can multi-task efficiently. This might be true but I can’t do it. I have statistical proof. I have a serious addiction. If you ever talk on the phone with me there’s almost a 100% chance I am simultaneously playing chess online. The phone rings and one hand reaches for the phone and the other hand reaches for the computer to initiate a one minute game. Chess rankings are based on a statistically generated rating system. So I can compare easily how well I do when I’m on the phone compared with when I’m not on the phone. There is a three standard deviation difference. Imagine if I were talking on the phone and driving. It’s the same thing I’m assuming: phone calls cause a three standard deviation subtraction in intelligence. And that’s the basic multi-tasking we all do at some point or other.</p> <p>So great people can multi-task. But since, by definition, most of us are not great , it’s much better to single-task. Just do one thing at a time.</p> <p>Often, the successful mediocre entrepreneur should strive for excellence in ZERO-tasking. Do nothing. We always feel like we have to be “doing something” or we feel ashamed. Sometimes it’s better to just be quiet, to not think of anything at all. A very successful, self-made businessman once told me, “Never underestimate the power of a long, protracted silence.”</p> <p> </p> <h3><span style="color: #ff6600;"> 3 –</span> Failure</h3> <p>As far as I can tell, Larry Page has never failed. He went straight from graduate school to billions. Ditto for Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, and a few others. But again, by definition, most of us are pretty mediocre. We can strive for greatness but we will never hit it. <a title="Why it is important to fail" href="https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/why-it-is-important-to-fail/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">That means we will often fail</a>. Not ALWAYS fail. But often.</p> <p>My last 16 out of 17 business attempts were failures. Ultimately, life is a sentence of failures, punctuated only by the briefest of successes. So the mediocre entrepreneur learns two things from failure: First, he learns directly how to overcome that particular failure. He’s highly motivated to not repeat the same mistakes. Second, he learns how to deal with the psychology of failure. Mediocre entrepreneurs fail A LOT. So they get this incredible skill of getting really good at dealing with failure. This translates to monetary success.</p> <p>The mediocre entrepreneur understands that persistence is not the self-help cliché “Keep going until you hit the finish line!” It’s, “Keep failing until you accidentally no longer fail.” That’s persistence.</p> <p> </p> <h3><span style="color: #ff6600;">4</span> – Not Original</h3> <p>I’ve never come up with an original idea in my life. My first successful business was making web software, strategies, and websites for Fortune 500 companies. Not an original idea but at the time, in the 90s, people were paying exorbitant multiples for such businesses. My successful investments all involved situations where I made sure the CEOs and other investors were smarter than me. 100% of my zeros as an angel investor were situations where I thought I was smart. I wasn’t. I’m mediocre.</p> <p>The best ideas are when you take two older ideas that have nothing to do with each other, make them have sex with each other, and then build a business around the bastard, ugly child that results. Look at Facebook: combine the internet with stalking. Amazing!</p> <p>And, by the way, it was about the fifth attempt at such a social network. Twitter, combine internet with antiquated SMS protocols. Ugly! But it works. Ebay, combine ecommerce with auctions. If Justin Bieber sang John Lennon’s “Imagine” it would be a huge hit. I might even listen to it.</p> <p> </p> <h3><span style="color: #ff6600;">5</span> – Poor Networking</h3> <p>I’m that guy. You know the one at the party that doesn’t talk to anyone and stands in the corner. I usually say no to very nice networking dinner invitations. I like to stay home and read. When I was running businesses I was often too shy to talk to my employees. I would call my secretary from downstairs and ask if the hallway was clear, then ask her to unlock my door and I’d hurry upstairs and lock the door behind me. That particular company failed disastrously.</p> <p>But many people network too much. Entrepreneurship is hard enough. It’s 20 hours a day of managing employees, customers, meetings, and product development. And then what are you going to do? Network all night? Save that for the great entrepreneurs. Or the ones who are about to fail. The mediocre entrepreneur works his 20 hours, then relaxes when he can. It’s tough to make money.</p> <p> </p> <h3><span style="color: #ff6600;">6</span> – Do Anything To Get A “Yes.”</h3> <p>Here’s a negotiation I did. I was starting stockpickr.com and meeting with the CEO of thestreet.com. He wanted his company to have a percentage of stockpickr.com and in exchange he would fill up all of our ad inventory. I was excited to do the deal. I said, “Ok, I was thinking you would get 10% of the company.” He laughed and said, “No. 50%”. He didn’t even say “We would like 50%”. He just said, “50%”. I then used all my negotiating skills and came up with a reply. “Okay. Deal.”</p> <p>I’m a salesman. I like people to say yes to me. When I started a company doing websites we were pitching to do “miramax.com”. I said, “$50,000″. They said, “No more than $1,000 and that’s a stretch.” I used my usual technique: “Deal!”</p> <p><em><strong> But the end results</strong></em>: in one case thestreet.com had a significant financial stake so that gave them more psychological stake. And for my first business, Miramax was now on my client list. That’s why Con Edison had to pay a lot more. Often, the secret poor negotiators keep is that we get more deals done. I get the occasional loss leader, and then ultimately the big fish gets reeled in if I get enough people to say “yes”. It’s like asking every girl on the street to have sex with you. One out of 100 will say “yes”. In my case it might be one out of a million but you get the idea.</p> <p><b> </b></p> <h3><span style="color: #ff6600;">7</span> – Poor Judge of People</h3> <p>The mediocre entrepreneur doesn’t “Blink” in the Malcolm Gladwell sense. In Gladwell’s book he often talks about people who can form snap correct judgments in two or three seconds. My initial judgment when I meet or even see people is this: I hate you.</p> <p>And then I veer from that to too trusting. Finally, after I bounce back and forth, and through much trial and error, I end up somewhere in the middle. I also tend to drop people I can’t trust very quickly. I think the great entrepreneur can make snap judgments and be very successful with it. But that doesn’t work for most people.</p> <p>At this point, when I meet someone, I make sure I specifically don’t trust my first instincts. I get to know people more. I get to understand what their motivations are. I try to sympathize with whatever their position is. I try not to argue or gossip about them before I know anything. I have to do this because I’m mediocre and I’m a lot more at risk of bringing the wrong people into my circle.</p> <p>So by the time I’ve decided to be close to someone–a client, an employee, an acquirer, an acquiree, a wife, etc–I’ve already done a lot of the thinking about them. This means I can’t waste time thinking about other things, like how to put a rocket ship on Jupiter. But overall it’s worked.</p> <p>“I thought being mediocre is supposed to be bad?” one might think. Shouldn’t we strive for greatness? And the answer is: “Of course we should! But let’s not forget that 9 out of 10 motorists think they are ‘above average drivers.’” People overestimate themselves. Don’t let overestimation get in the way of becoming fabulously rich, or at least successful enough that you can have your freedom, feed your family, and enjoy other things in life.</p> <p> </p> <h4>Final Words</h4> <p>Being mediocre doesn’t mean you won’t change the world.

It is different from situational leadership where the leaders have to adopt the strategies as per the situation. </span><span id="more-56634"></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In versatile leadership, the leaders have to demonstrate the skills and abilities by suiting to various kinds of people and situations. It requires lot of flexibility, maturity and emotional intelligence on the part of the leaders to balance various kinds and aspects of people. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is also about having expertise and experience in multiple areas. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Leadership is about managing complexities and diversities. At times leaders lose some to gain some. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However versatile leadership helps in eating the cake and having it too. It balances and manages diversified people with diversified opinions and views thus keeping the flock together. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this context, let us look at Benjamin Franklin who displayed his versatile leadership by venturing into various facets of life in his lifetime.</span></p> <h2><b>A Versatile Leader</b></h2> <p><a href="https://addicted2success.com/life/13-life-changing-principles-from-benjamin-franklin/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Benjamin Franklin was one of the rarest Americans. </span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He will be remembered forever in the history of mankind for his unique and unparalleled incarnations as a printer, publisher, postmaster, philosopher, author, inventor, entrepreneur, intellectual, statesman, and humorist. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He was also the rarest of the rare American leaders who wrote a lot to enlighten the world and who did a lot to write about him.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ben was a multifaceted personality with in-depth knowledge in several domains. He excelled in various areas and aspects and evolved as a versatile leader. Versatility was his personality. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He preferred the road less traveled. He was a rag to riches story that also epitomizes an inspirational leader. He created a group—Junto that emphasized on self-improvement. He was the brainchild for self-improvement books. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">His writings influenced Andrew Carnegie and Dale Carnegie. He laid the foundation for human development and progress. He opined that everyone deserved success irrespective of their poor parental lineage.</span></p> <blockquote><p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /> </span><a href="https://addicted2success.com/quotes/27-awe-inspiring-benjamin-franklin-quotes/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">“If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead, either write something worth reading or do things worth writing.” —Benjamin Franklin</span></a></p></blockquote> <h2><b>Ben’s incarnations</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ben was self-educated and learnt through voracious reading. He learnt the tricks of the printing trade from his brother, James. He deserted the press due to the differences with his brother and worked as a typesetter in London. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">After returning to Philadelphia he worked as a shopkeeper and bookkeeper. He donned the role of publisher of a newspaper called The Pennsylvania Gazette. He proved as an author with the publication of Poor Richard’s Almanack. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Let us briefly profile few of his incarnations as an inventor, entrepreneur, intellectual and statesman.</span></p> <p><b>Inventor: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">He had passion for inventions. He indirectly championed for the cause of industrial revolution through his scientific inventions. He invented lightning rod, bifocal glasses and Franklin stove to name a few. He was liberal to share his inventions with others as he did not patent.</span></p> <p><b>Entrepreneur: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">He had business acumen and risk taking ability. He set up his own print shop and first franchisee system. He competed and collaborated with his competitors as a business strategy. He converted business threats into opportunities and came out profitably in his business endeavors.</span></p> <p><b>Intellectual: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ben diversified his reading into diversified domains such as politics, history and science that widened his mental horizons. He is an example to the present day youth that anyone can start the journey towards success anywhere at any age and stage of life. It is the bad tradesman who blames his tools. Ben did not blame his poor parental background. He proved to the world that anything and everything is possible through passion, perseverance and persistence.</span></p> <p><b>Statesman: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ben proved his statesmanship through his diplomatic skills with an emphasis on win-win approach. He was an effective negotiator and net worker. He was a successful diplomat who promoted better relations between France and America. He was a statesman par excellence.</span></p> <p><b>Thirteen virtues:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Ben was a practical man. He practiced what he preached. He practiced thirteen virtues by following one virtue for a week. The thirteen virtues necessary for true success are: temperance, silence, order, resolution, frugality, industry, sincerity, justice, moderation, cleanliness, tranquility, chastity, and humility. One of Ben’s friends advised to add humility as the thirteenth virtue as he was proud in his conversations. Subsequently he included humility as the thirteenth virtue and practiced rest of his life.</span></p> <p><b>Extraordinary leader: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ben was an extraordinary leader who gave due credit to others. He empathized with others. America was blessed with a leader like Ben who was instrumental in drafting the constitution and one of the founding fathers of American constitution. He was the most accomplished American during his time.</span></p> <p><b>Benjaminism: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">He strove for innovation and creativity irrespective of the area he explored. He was the first to include pictures in newspapers. He influenced every aspect and area of human life. All human beings use his inventions and follow preaching either directly or indirectly. There is an element of Benjaminism in every human being in this world.</span></p> <p><b>American legend: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is difficult to replicate his charisma in the current context. However, the present leaders can learn several lessons from this American legend. Ben’s ideas and ideals and values and virtues are relevant to the humankind. He demonstrated to the world that an individual can do anything and everything in a lifetime.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ben was an extraordinary leader, inspirational leader, innovative leader, visionary leader, strategic leader, servant leader, passionate leader and above all a lasting leader. He left his footprints in the history of mankind through his versatile leadership. </span></p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com/entrepreneur-profile/the-many-faces-of-benjamin-franklin-a-masterclass-in-versatile-leadership/">The Many Faces of Benjamin Franklin: A Masterclass in Versatile Leadership</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com">Addicted 2 Success</a>.</p> ";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:36:"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/";a:1:{s:10:"commentRss";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:129:"https://addicted2success.com/entrepreneur-profile/the-many-faces-of-benjamin-franklin-a-masterclass-in-versatile-leadership/feed/";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:38:"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/";a:1:{s:8:"comments";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:1:"0";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}}}i:20;a:6:{s:4:"data";s:94:" ";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";s:5:"child";a:5:{s:0:"";a:7:{s:5:"title";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:65:"Real Estate Strategies You Should Know About for Long Term Wealth";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:4:"link";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:110:"https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/real-estate-strategies-you-should-know-about-for-long-term-wealth/";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:8:"comments";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:118:"https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/real-estate-strategies-you-should-know-about-for-long-term-wealth/#respond";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:7:"pubDate";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:31:"Fri, 24 May 2024 12:54:52 +0000";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:8:"category";a:8:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:14:"Success Advice";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:1;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:27:"best real estate strategies";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:2;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:29:"how to build long term wealth";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:3;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:19:"how to build wealth";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:4;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:24:"investing in real estate";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:5;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:21:"investment strategies";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:6;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:21:"real estate investing";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:7;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:17:"wealth strategies";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:4:"guid";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:37:"https://addicted2success.com/?p=56629";s:7:"attribs";a:1:{s:0:"";a:1:{s:11:"isPermaLink";s:5:"false";}}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:11:"description";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:437:"<p>Real estate offers unique opportunities for growth, stability, and returns that few other investments can match</p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/real-estate-strategies-you-should-know-about-for-long-term-wealth/">Real Estate Strategies You Should Know About for Long Term Wealth</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com">Addicted 2 Success</a>.</p> ";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:32:"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";a:1:{s:7:"creator";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:13:"William Nunez";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:40:"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/";a:1:{s:7:"encoded";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:13258:"<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Have you ever wondered why real estate continues to be a popular choice for those looking to build wealth?</span><span id="more-56629"></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The answer is simple: real estate offers unique opportunities for growth, stability, and returns that few other investments can match. But how exactly can you leverage real estate to increase your financial portfolio? </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this article you will find out the strategies that can help you turn properties into profit.</span></p> <h2><a href="https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/how-to-create-wealth-investing-in-real-estate/"><strong>Understanding Real Estate Investing</strong></a></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Real estate investing is about more than just buying properties; it’s about strategic planning and understanding market dynamics to maximize returns. This form of investment allows individuals to buy, own, manage, and sell properties for profit, making it a versatile way to build wealth.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Key to this process is leveraging local expertise, which can greatly enhance investment decisions. For example, let’s </span><a href="https://www.fastexpert.com/top-real-estate-agents/jersey-city-nj/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">search in FastExpert</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and find top real estate agents in Jersey City, NJ, who can connect investors with skilled agents who have deep knowledge of the local market. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These agents can provide invaluable insights into which neighborhoods are up and coming, where the best rental yields can be found, and what type of properties are in high demand. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Utilizing such targeted searches helps investors minimize risks and increase the likelihood of a favorable return on their investments.</span></p> <h2><strong>The Power of Leverage</strong></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Leverage is a powerful tool in real estate investing that allows you to amplify your potential returns by using borrowed capital. Essentially, it means using other people’s money to increase your ability to buy more properties than you could if only using your own funds. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For example, by taking out a mortgage, you can purchase a property with a relatively small down payment and finance the rest. This strategy can significantly increase your return on investment if the property’s value appreciates because you’re earning gains on the total property value while having invested only a fraction of the cost. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, it’s important to remember that while leverage can magnify profits, it also increases exposure to risk. If the market turns or if the property loses value, the debt remains, potentially leading to losses that exceed the initial investment.</span></p> <h2><strong>Choosing the Right Property</strong></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Choosing the right property is a crucial step in real estate investing and can determine the success or failure of your investment. The decision should be based on thorough research and a clear understanding of the local market trends. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Factors such as location, neighborhood development, and the economic stability of the area play significant roles. Properties in areas with good schools, reliable public transport, and amenities like shops and parks typically have higher demands for both rental and resale. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s also wise to consider the future potential of the area—any planned infrastructure or commercial development can boost property values over time. Additionally, understanding the property’s condition, potential repair costs, and the realistic rental income it can generate are essential to ensuring a profitable investment. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">By carefully evaluating these aspects, investors can minimize their risks and increase their chances of a successful and lucrative investment.</span></p> <h2><strong>The Fix and Flip</strong></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The fix and flip strategy in real estate involves purchasing properties at a lower price, often because they require repairs or renovations, and then selling them at a higher price after improving them. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This approach can be highly profitable if executed correctly, focusing on enhancing the property’s appeal to maximize resale value. Successful flippers often have a good eye for properties that have the potential for a high return on investment and understand how much renovation is needed without overcapitalizing. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Key to this strategy is the speed of the renovation process; the quicker the turnaround, the less money is lost to ongoing costs like mortgage payments and property taxes. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Moreover, it requires a thorough understanding of the real estate market to purchase the right property at the right price and to sell it in a timely manner. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Flippers also need to have a reliable network of contractors, inspectors, and real estate agents to ensure that the project moves smoothly from purchase to sale.</span></p> <h2><strong>Real Estate Investment Groups (REIGs)</strong></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Real Estate Investment Groups (REIGs) offer a way for investors to enter the real estate market without the hassles of direct property management. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These groups typically invest in properties like apartments or condominiums, and then sell units to investors while taking care of the maintenance and management. This structure allows investors to own real estate passively, making it an attractive option for those who want exposure to real estate without dealing with the day-to-day operations of being a landlord. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The group manages all aspects of the property, including tenant issues, repairs, and legal compliance, in exchange for a portion of the rental income from each unit. This setup provides a unique blend of hands-off investment while still offering the benefits of real estate ownership, such as income generation and property value appreciation. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, investors should carefully evaluate the reputation and track record of the REIG, as their expertise and management efficiency can significantly impact the returns on investment.</span></p> <h2><strong>Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)</strong></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are companies that own, operate, or finance income-producing real estate across a range of property sectors. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">They offer investors a unique opportunity to invest in portfolios of real estate assets, which typically include large-scale properties like shopping malls, office buildings, apartments, and hotels. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of the main advantages of investing in REITs is the liquidity they offer; unlike direct real estate investments, REITs are traded on major stock exchanges, allowing investors to buy and sell shares easily. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Additionally, REITs are required by law to distribute at least 90% of their taxable income to shareholders annually in the form of dividends, providing a regular income stream. This makes REITs particularly attractive for income-seeking investors. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Furthermore, investing in REITs allows individuals to gain exposure to real estate markets without the need for a large amount of capital or real estate management expertise, democratizing access to real estate profits.</span></p> <h2><strong>How to Start with Minimal Capital</strong></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Starting a real estate investment journey with minimal capital is more feasible than many might think. One effective strategy is to leverage partnerships or real estate investment groups that allow you to contribute a smaller amount of money while benefiting from collective investments. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Additionally, exploring owner-financing options where the seller agrees to finance the purchase can also lower the initial capital requirement. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Engaging with </span><a href="https://www.fastexpert.com/top-real-estate-agents/new-jersey/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">realtors in New Jersey</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> or any other area can provide access to local knowledge and potential deals that might not require substantial upfront capital, such as distressed properties or foreclosures. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Another route is to look into government programs or grants available for first-time investors or buyers. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">By utilizing these strategies, even those with limited funds can start building a portfolio and gain a foothold in the lucrative world of real estate investing.</span></p> <h2><strong>When to Buy and When to Sell</strong></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Knowing when to buy and when to sell is crucial in maximizing profits in real estate investing. The ideal time to buy is typically during a buyer’s market, when property prices are lower and more options are available. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This period often occurs when the economy is slow or there’s an oversupply of properties. Investors should keep an eye on economic indicators, local market trends, and future area developments that might increase property values. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Conversely, the best time to sell is during a seller’s market, characterized by high demand and low supply, leading to higher prices and quicker sales. Timing your sale to coincide with these conditions can significantly boost your financial gains. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Additionally, understanding the specific cycle of your local real estate market can provide strategic advantages for both buying low and selling high.</span></p> <h2><strong>Keeping Up with the Market Trends</strong></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of the most important things for making informed investment decisions is keeping up with real estate market trends. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This involves regularly monitoring economic indicators, housing market statistics, and changes in consumer behavior that can affect property values. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Investors should utilize a variety of sources such as real estate reports, market analysis platforms, and news outlets to stay updated. Engaging with local real estate professionals, such as agents and brokers, can also provide firsthand insights into what is currently happening in specific areas. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Additionally, attending real estate seminars and subscribing to industry newsletters can help investors anticipate shifts in the market and adjust their strategies accordingly. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">By staying informed, investors can better time their purchases and sales, and identify emerging opportunities for growth and investment.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Investing in real estate offers a robust pathway to building wealth, but it requires knowledge, strategy, and timely action. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">By understanding the various investment methods, such as leveraging, fix and flips, and REIGs, and recognizing the right times to buy and sell, investors can optimize their returns. Staying informed about market trends and maintaining a network of experienced real estate professionals are crucial steps for success. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ultimately, whether you’re starting with minimal capital or looking to expand an existing portfolio, real estate provides diverse opportunities to enhance your financial future. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Always approach each investment with thorough research and a clear understanding of your financial goals.</span></p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/real-estate-strategies-you-should-know-about-for-long-term-wealth/">Real Estate Strategies You Should Know About for Long Term Wealth</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com">Addicted 2 Success</a>.</p> ";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:36:"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/";a:1:{s:10:"commentRss";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:115:"https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/real-estate-strategies-you-should-know-about-for-long-term-wealth/feed/";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:38:"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/";a:1:{s:8:"comments";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:1:"0";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}}}i:21;a:6:{s:4:"data";s:94:" ";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";s:5:"child";a:5:{s:0:"";a:7:{s:5:"title";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:64:"Why You’re Failing to Achieve Your Goals and How to Fix It Now";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:4:"link";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:102:"https://addicted2success.com/motivation/why-youre-failing-to-achieve-your-goals-and-how-to-fix-it-now/";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:8:"comments";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:110:"https://addicted2success.com/motivation/why-youre-failing-to-achieve-your-goals-and-how-to-fix-it-now/#respond";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:7:"pubDate";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:31:"Wed, 22 May 2024 16:32:44 +0000";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:8:"category";a:8:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:10:"Motivation";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:1;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:19:"finding inspiration";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:2;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:24:"how can I stay motivated";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:3;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:24:"how to be more motivated";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:4;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:34:"how to build your momentum in life";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:5;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:22:"how to have motivation";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:6;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:21:"how to stay motivated";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:7;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:10:"motivation";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:4:"guid";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:37:"https://addicted2success.com/?p=56625";s:7:"attribs";a:1:{s:0:"";a:1:{s:11:"isPermaLink";s:5:"false";}}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:11:"description";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:392:"<p>Understanding motivation is crucial because it's the cornerstone of success</p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com/motivation/why-youre-failing-to-achieve-your-goals-and-how-to-fix-it-now/">Why You’re Failing to Achieve Your Goals and How to Fix It Now</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com">Addicted 2 Success</a>.</p> ";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:32:"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";a:1:{s:7:"creator";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:15:"Pankaj Kushwaha";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:40:"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/";a:1:{s:7:"encoded";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:11769:"<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Feeling stuck?

Ready to embrace these lessons and transform your journey?</p> <h2>Dive into 25 invaluable insights that will challenge your thinking, refine your strategy, and amplify your impact.</h2> <p> </p> <h2>1. Pioneering the Multimedia Corporation:</h2> <p>Walt Disney innovatively bundled various forms of entertainment under one corporate umbrella, creating the first modern multimedia corporation. He harnessed the collective power of animation, live-action films, television, theme parks, music, books, comics, merchandise, and educational content to build an unprecedented entertainment empire.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Takeaway:</strong></span> Look for ways to integrate different aspects of your work or passions. A combination of unique skills and ideas can create something entirely new.</p> <p> </p> <h2>2. Commitment to Innovation and Vision:</h2> <p>Disney expanded the boundaries of art and entertainment, developing new artistic forms, such as feature-length animated films, and exploring new frontiers like amusement parks, color TV, conservation, and space exploration. His vision drove advances in color film and color television, and his creative reimagining of amusement parks shaped the industry for generations.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Takeaway:</strong></span> Keep exploring new frontiers, even when others think it’s impossible. Never let the fear of failure limit your ambition.</p> <p> </p> <h2><strong>3. Resilience and Determination:</strong></h2> <p>Disney’s childhood experiences, particularly his father’s controlling and unsuccessful nature, instilled in him a “sadistic determination” that fueled his ambition. Despite early setbacks and limited support, Disney overcame adversity through sheer willpower, striving to break free from the failures of his past.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Takeaway:</strong></span> Learn to turn adversity into fuel. Obstacles and difficult circumstances can either break you or push you to new heights. Embrace the challenges as opportunities to grow.</p> <p> </p> <h2><strong>4. Building a Legacy Through Personal Transformation:</strong></h2> <p>Walt Disney created himself and a new world from his challenging upbringing. He remained focused on personal transformation, escaping the shadow of his father’s failures and embodying the opposite qualities. He refused to perpetuate the cycle of abuse, treating his children with care and nurturing, unlike his father.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Takeaway:</strong></span> Your past doesn’t define your future. Break free from limiting beliefs and patterns to create a life you envision, not one shaped by past traumas.</p> <p> </p> <h2><strong>5. Faith in Self and Purpose:</strong></h2> <p>From a young age, Disney brimmed with confidence and faith in his ability, even before he had a fully developed plan. This unshakable belief helped him navigate uncertainty and setbacks, keeping him focused on achieving significant and meaningful goals.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Takeaway:</strong></span> Believe in your potential even when the road ahead isn’t clear. Confidence in yourself and your goals will help you navigate challenges.</p> <p> </p> <h2><strong>6. Mastery and Total Immersion:</strong></h2> <p>Walt Disney embraced animation as an art form, immersing himself completely to master it. He read every available book, took courses, and practiced intensely. This total commitment allowed him to gradually evolve from producing short, simple, black-and-white cartoons to creating full-length, colorful, and sound-enhanced feature animations.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Takeaway:</strong></span> Commit fully to mastering your craft. Dive in headfirst, learn, and practice intensely to continuously evolve and reach new levels.</p> <p> </p> <h2><strong>7. Unwavering Self-Confidence:</strong></h2> <p>Despite external skepticism and lack of market demand for animated cartoons, Disney maintained extraordinary self-belief and relentless determination. He was willing to live in his office and work tirelessly, often relying on credit for food and showering once a week to stay focused on his goals.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Takeaway:</strong></span> Keep your eye on your goals, even when others doubt you. Consistent belief in yourself will fuel your journey through difficult moments.</p> <p> </p> <h2><strong>8. Overcoming Betrayal with Innovation:</strong></h2> <p>After losing his original characters and staff to Charles Mintz, Disney rebounded by innovating and creating Mickey Mouse. He recognized that setbacks often bring new opportunities and used this adversity to fuel his creativity, ultimately developing the first sound cartoon, “Steamboat Willie.”</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Takeaway:</strong></span> Setbacks are opportunities in disguise. When things go wrong, think outside the box, adapt, and innovate to find a new way forward.</p> <p> </p> <h2><strong>9. Control and Quality:</strong></h2> <p>Disney realized the importance of controlling his characters and creative output to prevent another betrayal like the one he faced with Mintz. He insisted on unparalleled quality, considering it the key to capturing and retaining public interest in Disney films. His meticulous standards ensured that Disney’s productions were unmatched.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Takeaway:</strong></span> Maintain control over your output and hold yourself to high standards. Quality is what sets you apart and builds your reputation.</p> <p> </p> <h2><strong>10. Training the Elite:</strong></h2> <p>Disney built a culture of excellence by training and educating his own team, believing in enthusiasm over experience. He created a sense of belonging and pride among his staff, making them feel like an elite unit with a shared commitment to deliver top-quality animation.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Takeaway:</strong></span> Surround yourself with people who are enthusiastic about your vision. When you build a strong team aligned with your mission, excellence follows.</p> <p> </p> <h2><strong>11. Uncompromising Dedication to Excellence:</strong></h2> <p>Walt Disney insisted that his animations be better than anyone else’s, believing this unwavering commitment to excellence was his business strategy. He never sought profits directly but focused on creating work he could be proud of, tirelessly working late into the night to ensure the best possible quality.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Takeaway:</strong></span> Strive to be proud of your work. Focus on creating something remarkable instead of chasing profits, and the rewards will follow.</p> <p> </p> <h2><strong>12. Divine Discontent and Relentless Improvement:</strong></h2> <p>Disney had a habit of divine discontent, constantly striving for improvement and never being satisfied with the finished product. He often critiqued past work, identifying mistakes and finding ways he could have made it better, a mindset that sometimes led to nervous breakdowns due to immense pressure.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Takeaway:</strong></span> Never settle. Continuously evaluate your work and find ways to improve. This mindset will keep you growing and evolving.</p> <p> </p> <h2><strong>13. Micromanagement and Storytelling:</strong></h2> <p>Disney was a micromanager, overseeing every aspect of production to ensure consistency and quality. He compared his role to that of a symphony conductor and believed storytelling was the key to his success, inspiring his team with a “voice of the prophet” and creating a unified vision.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Takeaway:</strong></span> Oversee the critical details that shape your vision while inspiring others through powerful storytelling. Unify your team with a shared purpose.</p> <p> </p> <h2><strong>14. Building a Culture of Excellence:</strong></h2> <p>Disney fostered a culture of dedication among his team, who were inspired by his messianic leadership style and shared a deep commitment to their craft. They believed in their collective mission and often worked tirelessly to meet the high standards he set.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Takeaway:</strong></span> Create a mission that everyone believes in. When people are committed to a shared goal, they’ll be willing to go the extra mile.</p> <p> </p> <h2><strong>15. Business Model Innovation in Merchandising:</strong></h2> <p>Disney realized the immense potential in film-related toys, games, and merchandise. He partnered with Herman Kamen to build a quality-controlled, revenue-generating merchandising arm that complemented and reinforced the success of his animation studios, eventually bringing in millions in sales.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Takeaway:</strong></span> Think beyond your primary product or service. Find complementary streams that can reinforce your brand and provide additional value.</p> <p> </p> <h2><strong>16. Visionary Risk-Taking:</strong></h2> <p>Walt Disney was undeterred by the daunting challenges of creating the first feature-length animated film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Despite industry skepticism and cost overruns, he pursued his vision with unwavering confidence, mortgaging everything he owned, including the rights to his beloved characters, to fund it. This bold risk resulted in unprecedented commercial success.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Takeaway:</strong></span> Don’t be afraid to bet on yourself and your vision. Sometimes, taking bold risks is the only way to reach new heights.</p> <p> </p> <h2><strong>17. Unyielding Enthusiasm and Storytelling:</strong></h2> <p>Disney was a masterful storyteller who could captivate and rally his entire studio with the vision of Snow White, bringing employees to tears with his recounting of the story. His enthusiasm was infectious, and he bound his team together with a compelling narrative that made them believe in the project.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Takeaway:</strong></span> Share your excitement for your goals with others. Enthusiasm is infectious and will bring people on board with your vision.</p> <p> </p> <h2><strong>18. Unique Talent Cultivation:</strong></h2> <p>To meet the massive demand for animators, Disney strategically recruited young artists directly from art schools and trained them in-house. He preferred young talent over experienced animators to instill in them the “Disney system” and brainwash them with a love for excellence.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Takeaway:</strong></span> Find and nurture young talent who are open to new ways of thinking. Teach them to align with your values and foster their growth.</p> <p> </p> <h2><strong>19. Continuous Improvement:</strong></h2> <p>His mantra, “You can’t top pigs with pigs,” emphasized Disney’s refusal to rest on past successes. He sought new challenges and improvements, always striving to blaze new trails. Even at the peak of his career, he sought further innovation to avoid stagnation.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Takeaway:</strong></span> Seek out new challenges and don’t rest on your past wins. Constantly challenge yourself to grow beyond your current limits.</p> <p> </p> <h2><strong>20. Creating Disneyland for Control and Legacy:</strong></h2> <p>Disney conceived Disneyland as the ultimate realization of his lifelong pursuit of control and imagination. He crafted an entire external world where visitors could immerse themselves in his stories, offering an escape from reality and setting the stage for his enduring legacy beyond animation.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Takeaway:</strong></span> Create a space where your vision can flourish. Whether it’s physical or digital, build an environment that reflects your creativity.</p> <p> </p> <h2><strong>21. Return to Small-Scale Creativity:</strong></h2> <p>After setting up the new company, WED, Walt Disney rekindled the spirit of his early days by working in a small, close-knit team in a bungalow. He thrived on the creative excitement of this new environment, which helped him rediscover the joy of developing something innovative.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Takeaway:</strong></span> Reconnect with the creative joy of small, focused teams. Often, intimacy fosters collaboration and sparks the best ideas.</p> <p> </p> <h2><strong>22. Bold Financial Risk for Disneyland:</strong></h2> <p>Undeterred by financial challenges, Disney mortgaged his house and borrowed against his life insurance policy to fund the initial development of Disneyland. His boldness attracted investors and secured funding through a strategic partnership with ABC.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Takeaway:</strong></span> If you genuinely believe in your project, find a way to make it happen. Rally those who share your belief to build momentum.</p> <p> </p> <h2><strong>23. Leveraging Television to Fund Disneyland:</strong></h2> <p>Disney’s partnership with ABC helped fund Disneyland in exchange for a prime-time TV show, Disneyland. This show built public anticipation, introduced the park’s different themed lands, and played a pivotal role in shaping the park’s early financial success.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Takeaway:</strong></span> Don’t dismiss emerging platforms or tools. They can be powerful allies if you’re willing to think creatively and use them strategically.</p> <p> </p> <h2>24. Attention to Detail as a Competitive Edge:</h2> <p>At Disneyland, Disney meticulously controlled every detail of the experience, enforcing high standards even in the seemingly mundane aspects of park operations. This focus on details was crucial in creating a seamless, high-quality environment that left competitors far behind.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Takeaway:</strong></span> Treat every aspect of your work with meticulous care. It’s the little things that often set you apart from your competition.</p> <p> </p> <h2><strong>25. Creating a Unique Culture at Disneyland:</strong></h2> <p>Disney crafted a unique culture at Disneyland, shaping a shared language, values, and protocols. This distinctiveness made employees feel they were part of something special, fostering dedication and teamwork that made Disneyland one of the most beloved brands globally.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Takeaway:</strong></span> Shape a culture that matches your vision. A unique language and approach can create a strong identity and help everyone feel connected to a greater mission.</p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/25-lessons-from-walt-disneys-billion-dollar-business-playbook/">25 Lessons from Walt Disney’s Billion Dollar Business Playbook</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com">Addicted 2 Success</a>.</p> ";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:36:"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/";a:1:{s:10:"commentRss";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:111:"https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/25-lessons-from-walt-disneys-billion-dollar-business-playbook/feed/";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:38:"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/";a:1:{s:8:"comments";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:1:"0";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}}}i:23;a:6:{s:4:"data";s:103:" ";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";s:5:"child";a:5:{s:0:"";a:7:{s:5:"title";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:66:"The Self Determination Secret That’ll Propel You Forward in Life";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:4:"link";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:108:"https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/the-self-determination-secret-thatll-propel-you-forward-in-life/";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:8:"comments";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:116:"https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/the-self-determination-secret-thatll-propel-you-forward-in-life/#respond";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:7:"pubDate";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:31:"Sat, 18 May 2024 13:42:20 +0000";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:8:"category";a:11:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:14:"Success Advice";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:1;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:16:"building courage";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:2;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:10:"confidence";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:3;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:7:"courage";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:4;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:31:"how to build self determination";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:5;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:30:"how to build successful skills";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:6;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:15:"Self confidence";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:7;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:18:"self-determination";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:8;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:6:"Skills";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:9;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:17:"successful skills";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:10;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:26:"what is self determination";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:4:"guid";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:37:"https://addicted2success.com/?p=56620";s:7:"attribs";a:1:{s:0:"";a:1:{s:11:"isPermaLink";s:5:"false";}}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:11:"description";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:385:"<p>Self-determination helps you build your hidden potential</p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/the-self-determination-secret-thatll-propel-you-forward-in-life/">The Self Determination Secret That’ll Propel You Forward in Life</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com">Addicted 2 Success</a>.</p> ";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:32:"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";a:1:{s:7:"creator";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:8:"M.S.

Self-awareness is one of them. People are more comfortable in knowing about others than about themselves. A few people have the habit of complaining, condemning, and criticizing others’ behavior and nature.</span><span id="more-56617"></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">They cannot digest when others think and behave with them as they think that they are better than others. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In fact, nobody is perfect in this world. We all have our strengths and weaknesses and being aware of the same will help us to become successful persons.</span></p> <h2><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://addicted2success.com/life/self-awareness-why-do-we-fear-it-and-how-to-master-it/"><b>What is Self-Awareness?</b></a></span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Self-awareness is all about knowing oneself thoroughly such as attitudes, aptitude, needs, desires, goals, habits, emotions, strengths and weaknesses, etc., In brief, it means knowing your personality. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Self-awareness is nothing but being conscious about yourself and how you act and react in certain situations. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We all have a low level of awareness but think that we know about ourselves better. It is, in fact, wrong. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When you know yourself properly, you judge yourself properly and you take your judgments seriously. It requires a lot of self-knowledge to be aware of yourself.</span></p> <blockquote><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“He who knows others is wise. He who knows himself is enlightened.” —Lao Tzu</span></p></blockquote> <h2><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://addicted2success.com/life/tips-tools-and-techniques-for-better-self-awareness/"><b>Merits of Self-Awareness</b></a></span></h2> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">People with self-awareness stand a better chance of winning the game because they know about themselves. If any mistake is made, they immediately take remedial action as they know about themselves. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Self-awareness improves your judgment and decision-making skills. It helps in professional and personality development as you overcome your weaknesses.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">It bridges the gap between skills you have and those you don’t have and exploits your existing skills up to the hilt. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">It helps in choosing the right career and ensures fast career growth. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">When you know more about yourself, most of the problems in your life are resolved automatically.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">You can become a successful mentor, facilitator, teacher, leader, and role model with better self-awareness.</span></li> </ul> <h2><b>How to Know About Yourself </b></h2> <p>Understanding yourself is a crucial step towards personal growth and effective relationships. Many people go through life unaware that their feelings towards others are often a reflection of their feelings towards themselves. To foster a comfortable relationship with others, it’s essential to first be comfortable with who you are.</p> <p>Below are some practical steps to help you embark on a journey of self-discovery and self-awareness.</p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Take time to think things through. Spend some time analyzing yourself. Self-introspection is essential to be aware of yourself.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Go for the MBTI (Meyers and Briggs Type Instrument) test as it helps you find out what type of personality you are. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">There are several psychometric instruments to know your personality. When such instruments are executed by professional trainers then it becomes easier to know more about yourself.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Take feedback from your colleagues, friends, and relatives. Take their feedback separately so that the common qualities running across the thread can be taken as the correct characteristics. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Go for meditation as it reveals about your mind. Or go to a serene place and think about yourself to take stock of your qualities. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Take a notebook and write down your thoughts, ideas, and insights. Record the same for analysis and evaluation. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Take intrapersonal feedback regularly. For this, it is essential to engage in regular inner dialogue. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Constantly monitor your actions and their fallout. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Take the help of professional counselors, clinical psychologists, and executive coaches who can provide you with correct feedback. Find out the inventory of your interests and personality that help in developing your self-awareness.</span></li> </ul> <blockquote><p>“Self awareness is the ability to take an honest look at your life without any attachment to it being right or wrong, good or bad.” – Debbie Ford</p></blockquote> <h3><b>Ron’s Honest Feedback about Susan</b></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">People tend to judge others. But they don’t accept when others judge them. Rather they would be shocked by others’ feedback about themselves. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Let us look at an example where two colleagues named, Susan and Ron worked in an office. They had good relations and gelled with each other well. One day, Susan asked Ron to give feedback as she wanted to know about herself from the perspective of Ron. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ron was straightforward by nature and he analyzed Susan from several dimensions both personally and professionally and prepared a report containing her strengths and weaknesses. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It took around a week for Ron to generate the personality report of Susan. He went to the extent of guessing the MBTI personality type of Susan based on her behavior, nature, and intellectual temperament. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When Susan saw the report she could not digest and she did not agree with Ron in several areas. Ron clearly said that he was not perfect in assessment but offered feedback the way he provided to several students when he worked as a faculty member in a Business School. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Since then, Susan distanced from Ron as she never expected her nature to be like that. It led to the severance of their amicable relations finally costing their friendship. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The lesson to be learned from it is people don’t accept themselves when others offer their feedback because they think about themselves differently. There is always a gap between an individual’s imagination about himself/herself with that of others.</span></p> <h3><b>Conclusion</b></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Self-awareness is all about being aware of your intentions, actions, emotions, feelings, attitude, and aptitude so that you can channel them successfully for achieving all-round success—be it personally, professionally, or socially.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When you know yourself you grow as an individual. You develop self-acceptance which in turn helps others to accept you as an individual. You become self-motivated and it leads to achieving success. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Self-awareness enables you to grow in your chosen area of interest. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To sum up, success comes to those who have better self-awareness themselves as it helps in improving themselves by overcoming their weaknesses and reinforcing their strengths. </span></p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/the-self-awareness-secret-how-knowing-yourself-can-make-you-wildly-successful/">The Self

style="font-weight: 400;">In the dynamic landscape of 2024, starting a business that capitalizes on buy-and-sell models can be incredibly lucrative. This article explores ten different models that entrepreneurs can consider. These ventures range from real estate flipping to trading in domains and luxury items, providing a broad spectrum of opportunities regardless of your initial capital or interest area.</span></p> <h2><b>1. Car Flipping</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Flipping cars can be a very lucrative business venture for an individual with business acumen, an eye for value, and mechanically adept at cars. It involves buying under-priced cars, restoring, and selling them for a profit. For deeper insights and opportunities in this market, refer to </span><a href="https://sca.auction/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">sca.auction</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p> <h2><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/how-to-create-wealth-investing-in-real-estate/"><b>2. Real Estate Flipping</b></a></span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Flipping real estate—be it houses, condos, or even commercial properties—remains pretty solid business, especially in markets where real estate values are on the way up. Investors buy properties relatively low, do rehab or renovation, then sell at a profit.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The success of the area is endowed with a huge potential spotlight, the ability to juggle various elements such as local real estate market knowledge, and efficient management of renovations.</span></p> <h2><b>3. Vintage E-commerce</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With the advent of technology, it became easy to sell vintage or retro items over the online selling platform. Be it clothes, furniture, or even collectibles, consumers these days prefer something unique that is eco-friendly and which may have a nostalgia quotient in it. Hence, it brings the opportunity to open an e-commerce shop effectively.</span></p> <h2><b>4. Domain Flipping</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you have the skill to predict catchy phrases or business names that would be popular in the future, then buying and selling domain names would be a very profitable business. Register prices are available to purchase domains, which later can be sold at high prices to interested parties or businesses that wish to get an early online identity.</span></p> <h2><b>5. Luxury Items</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of the most promising buy-and-sell businesses is the luxury market, and what makes it very attractive is its less sensitivity towards economic downturns. Some of the common items in the luxury market include high-end watches, jewelry, and art, rare cars, all with high yields. Most times, items do appreciate, especially when they are limited editions.</span></p> <h2><b>6. Sports Memorabilia</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While the sports memorabilia trading business can at times seem lucrative, especially when one focuses on big personae or big events, authenticity and rarity can definitely help items fetch top dollar. Provenance and limited supply both go towards inflating their values.</span></p> <h2><b>7. Sneaker Reselling</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In recent years, the sneaker resale market has exploded, fueled by a commodity of scarce releases and athletic brand collaborations with a list of celebrities. Today, with operations such as StockX and GOAT, it’s really that easy to break into the worldwide market. It’s pretty easy to find your buyers and make a very good profit if you’re targeting the right trend and releases.</span></p> <h2><b>8. Book Flipping</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Flipping rare and first editions can become a really meaningful, and yes, one more profitable, business for a book lover. Sometimes the signed ones, rare manuscripts, or those early editions of famous novels could sell for thousands of dollars, usually done by collectors or academic institutions.</span></p> <h2><b>9. Furniture Upcycling</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Upcycling furniture consists of restoring and using second-hand furniture to sell it at a higher price.

Sounds inspiring, right? But the thing is that data alone isn’t enough. Rather, it’s the strategy behind it that unlocks these enviable boosts. So, this article explores how to make the most out of your big data and build a strategy that’s functional and competitive.</span><span id="more-56610"></span></p> <h2><b>What’s a Big Data Strategy and Why Do You Need It?</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As the name implies, a big data strategy is a plan for handling enormous sets of input. To build it, you craft a blueprint that aligns the intelligence with your business objectives. The key purpose here is to make the former work for you and drive meaningful change with its help. This strategy usually involves</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">deciding on the exact type of input you need,</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">determining the insights you aim to extract from it,</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">and formulating how these insights will be transformed into actions.</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As you may see, the process isn’t an easy one. This is why many businesses choose to work together with a </span><a href="https://www.velvetech.com/big-data-services/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">big data strategy consulting</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> agency. The key reason for this is that the scope and depth of big data can be overwhelming. A seasoned consultant, in turn, brings expertise in intelligence plus experience in industry-specific strategies. They help to comply with complex regulations, integrate advanced technologies, and establish a data-centric culture within your organization.</span></p> <h2><b>How to Build a Big Data Strategy</b></h2> <h3><b>Step 1: Define Your Objectives</b></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Clarify what you intend to achieve with your strategy. Objectives should be as specific as possible. Just as an example, you could target</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">reducing customer churn by 10%,</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">increasing market penetration in a particular segment by 15%,</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">or enhancing operational efficiency by reducing process time by 20%.</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These precise goals will guide the technological and methodological aspects of your strategy.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tip: <a href="https://addicted2success.com/life/the-secrets-to-mastering-goal-setting-according-to-tony-robbins/">Use SMART criteria to refine your objectives</a>. That is, check whether each objective is specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. This method helps ensure that each initiative is clearly defined and outcomes can be quantified.</span></p> <h3><b>Step 2: Establish Governance</b></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Strong governance is your strategy’s backbone. It’s about who accesses what and when, in the first place. Other concerns it covers are the data’s</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">accuracy,</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">privacy,</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">and alignment with business values and compliance standards.</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The goal of this setup is to prevent data misuse and ensure its reliability as a decision-making tool.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tip: Implement a tiered data access model. This means categorizing information based on its sensitivity and assigning access levels accordingly.</span></p> <h3><b>Step 3: Integrate Data Sources</b></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Information lives everywhere today — from social media to IoT devices. Integrate these sources into a unified system to get a richer view of your operational landscape.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tip: Middleware solutions can act as a bridge between different systems. Middleware can help normalize data from various sources, which is crucial for comprehensive analytics.</span></p> <h3><b>Step 4: Invest in the Right Technology</b></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Select technologies that can grow and adapt with your ambitions. Some solutions worth considering include</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">cloud services,</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">advanced analytics software,</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">AI.</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The right tools will help you to query large sets of input, discover patterns, and predict trends. If you work with a big data consulting service, they’ll bring the tech expertise with them. If not, you’ll need to invest both in the tech as such and in training.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tip: When selecting technology, conduct a pilot test with a small, controlled pool of information. This minimizes risk and provides a practical glimpse into how the solution will work within your infrastructure.</span></p> <h3><b>Step 5: Analyze and Act on Your Insights</b></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Remember that analysis alone isn’t the goal in and of itself. The action is what counts. Use machine learning to predict customer behavior or deploy analytics to identify inefficiencies within your operations. Then, use these insights to drive measurable business outcomes. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Revise your strategies from time to time and adjust them based on real-time feedback.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tip: Develop a feedback loop where insights from data analytics are routinely checked against real-world outcomes. This is a good way to ensure that your strategies remain robust and relevant.</span></p> <h3><b>Step 6: Cultivate a Data-Driven Culture</b></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ideally, you should strive to create an environment where data-driven decisions are the norm. Train your team to think critically about information and encourage them to experiment with new ideas based on insights.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tip: Introduce regular data literacy workshops and training sessions. Don’t just say that information is valuable. Show your team how it can benefit them and their work (facilitate their work? reduce errors?). Employees will only share this culture if they acknowledge its value for them personally.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">All in all, the beauty of a strong big data strategy is that it can transform huge amounts of raw input into a strategic asset. And with the help of the latter, you can elevate your company’s market position and operational effectiveness. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you want it to work, integrate detailed planning, rigorous governance, and the right technology. Plus, don’t underestimate professional consulting because mistakes in this field are often costlier than paying for expert services.</span></p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com/entrepreneur-profile/how-your-business-can-outmaneuver-your-competitors-by-85/">How Your Business Can Outmaneuver Your Competitors by 85%</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com">Addicted 2 Success</a>.</p> ";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:36:"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/";a:1:{s:10:"commentRss";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:112:"https://addicted2success.com/entrepreneur-profile/how-your-business-can-outmaneuver-your-competitors-by-85/feed/";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:38:"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/";a:1:{s:8:"comments";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:1:"0";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}}}i:27;a:6:{s:4:"data";s:91:" ";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";s:5:"child";a:5:{s:0:"";a:7:{s:5:"title";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:73:"How to Synchronize Your Conscious Mind With Subconscious Mind for Success";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:4:"link";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:118:"https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/how-to-synchronize-your-conscious-mind-with-subconscious-mind-for-success/";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:8:"comments";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:126:"https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/how-to-synchronize-your-conscious-mind-with-subconscious-mind-for-success/#respond";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:7:"pubDate";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:31:"Thu, 09 May 2024 04:11:09 +0000";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:8:"category";a:7:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:14:"Success Advice";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:1;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:14:"conscious mind";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:2;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:7:"mindset";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:3;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:17:"subconscious mind";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:4;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:21:"subconscious thoughts";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:5;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:12:"Success Tips";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:6;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:8:"thoughts";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:4:"guid";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:37:"https://addicted2success.com/?p=56605";s:7:"attribs";a:1:{s:0:"";a:1:{s:11:"isPermaLink";s:5:"false";}}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:11:"description";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:454:"<p>The subconscious mind is like a magnet that immediately and instantly attracts ideas that have emotional content</p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/how-to-synchronize-your-conscious-mind-with-subconscious-mind-for-success/">How to Synchronize Your Conscious Mind With Subconscious Mind for Success</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com">Addicted 2 Success</a>.</p> ";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:32:"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";a:1:{s:7:"creator";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:8:"M.S.

Both play a crucial role in the functioning of the human mind. The conscious mind is voluntary that you are aware and it goes by logic, analysis, and reasoning.</span><span id="more-56605"></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In contrast, <a href="https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/how-to-activate-your-subconscious-mind-to-achieve-any-goal/">the subconscious mind is involuntary</a>. It is not known to you and you are unaware. It contains emotions, heart, and breathing rate. When you look at your loved ones your emotions rise, heartbeat increases. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It happens due to your subconscious mind. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">People with high emotions go by heart rather than the reasoning of mind. Especially when someone loves deeply, he does not go by any reasoning or logic. He just follows as he is emotionally attached to the opposite sex. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You can heal your disease through the power of your mind. It is your mind responsible for most of the illness. When you can conquer your mind then you can conquer your disease almost one-third. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Although the subconscious mind is programmed from the conscious mind, it is superior as it is the place for emotions and imagination. The motivational levels of people start from here only. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The subconscious mind is like a magnet that immediately and instantly attracts ideas that have emotional content. If you want to break your old habits you have to touch your subconscious mind first, then only it is easier to unlearn and learn. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Unfortunately, most people fail to program their minds properly. </span></p> <blockquote><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“You are the most powerful magnet in the universe! You contain a magnetic power within you that is more powerful than anything in this world, and this unfathomable magnetic power is emitted through your thoughts.” —<strong>Rhonda Byrne</strong></span></p></blockquote> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Research from neuroscience reveals that the subconscious mind controls 95 percent of our daily activities.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">People make decisions based on intuition and gut feeling which is nothing but making decisions based on their subconscious mind. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The conscious mind works with logic, analysis, and perceptions. The subconscious mind is well framed and programmed from the inputs received from the conscious mind. For instance, when someone hits a person, the latter immediately either defends or offends. It is basically because he reciprocates from his subconscious mind spontaneously. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Simultaneously the conscious mind thinks of what to do next in a given situation. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">During waking hours, the conscious mind works. While in sleeping hours, the subconscious mind comes to the fore. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For instance, Susan was a housewife. She could instruct her subconscious mind when to wake up early in the morning. She never set a clock but told herself firmly the time to get up. Her husband was so surprised by her programming the subconscious mind. She could influence her subconscious mind strongly. Susan was an alarm clock by herself. It indicates the power of the subconscious mind. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When you learn new things your conscious mind will be fully alert. As the time passes, you get used to these things. That means your subconscious mind takes over charge from your conscious mind. Your subconscious mind is like an autopilot. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://addicted2success.com/change-your-mindest/personal-development/unlocking-success-subconscious-reprogramming-mindset-and-transformative-strategies-for-improved-wellbeing-and-business-performance/">The thoughts and the beliefs that you have in the conscious mind will be transferred to the subconscious mind automatically</a>. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For instance, if you sow the right seeds in your conscious mind, you reap the right plants in your subconscious mind. If you feed your mind with good thoughts that you can achieve anything and everything in your life, the same will go to your subconscious mind.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> In a nutshell, the conscious mind is the creator while the subconscious mind is the executor. </span></p> <h2><b>The Susan and Ron Example</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ron and Susan worked in the same place. Susan was the senior most as she had been working in the company for the last 6 years. Ron was older than Susan with a higher amount of experience in other companies. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But he was a junior in the organization. As per the organizational requirements, Ron had to work with Susan until he got grooved and groomed within the system. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ron initially hesitated with Susan who was younger but respected her intellectual and educational background and started working together. Susan was polite and well-mannered. She was bold and beautiful. She was a woman of principles and values. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ron began liking her behavior and worked together for six months. Ron began thinking deeply about Susan. He always took the positive aspects of Susan although a few commented that Susan was stubborn and a troublemaker for getting the things done. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Since Ron was an independent thinker he began thinking of his own and started feeding positive information and inputs about Susan to his subconscious mind. Over some time, Ron began thinking deeply about her all the time and even in his dreams. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Later on, Ron realized that he began loving Susan. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">From the above story, it becomes very clear about the importance of feeding the subconscious mind with the right inputs. If Ron fed wrong inputs about Susan in his subconscious mind, he would have developed hatred against her. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Therefore, everything depends on how you think and how you program your subconscious mind. Never ignore the power of your subconscious mind. </span></p> <h2><b>Synchronize your Conscious and Subconscious Mind for Success</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Common people do not know the power of both conscious and subconscious mind. Only successful people know the significance of both and leverage them. When there is harmony between the both, there can be peace and success. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://addicted2success.com/life/how-to-redirect-your-negative-self-talk/">When people feed themselves with negative thoughts, they end up with negative results</a>. Rights inputs will lead to right outputs. When you program your mind with healthy and progressive thoughts regularly, over some time, you can achieve the desired changes in your life as your subconscious mind.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The subconscious mind is like an obedient soldier who obeys the instructions from the conscious mind. It does not know the difference between good and bad. Whatever the orders passed by the conscious mind will be obeyed and executed. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Therefore, make sure that your conscious mind gives the right orders to your subconscious mind. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The subconscious mind can be compared with a vehicle which runs as per the directions of the driver. If your subconscious mind is a puppet then your conscious mind is the puppeteer. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Therefore, learn to pull the strings effectively and efficiently to achieve all-around success.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When the teacher explains the subject repeatedly it goes deep within the subconscious mind of the students. Since the subconscious mind does not go by logic and analysis, it goes purely by repetitive instructions. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If students have to understand effectively then the teacher has to focus on key things repetitively. It is for these reasons; that great speakers repeat the key ideas, points, and thoughts in different ways and means to get across the message. </span></p> <h3><b>Conclusion</b></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You can be what you are if you can shape your subconscious mind through the right commands from your conscious mind. Only with limited usage of our mind power, we achieve many things. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Imagine the amazing results when you can reap by using your mind fully. How many people put in their efforts to explore their mind power? It is only a few. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Those who succeed in life are the people who know how to utilize their minds powerfully. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Always dream big. When you dream big then imagination comes from your subconscious mind. When your dream is strong you will achieve. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Focus more on the strength of your dreams. When your strength of dreams is stronger then the reality of success will be sure. </span></p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/how-to-synchronize-your-conscious-mind-with-subconscious-mind-for-success/">How to Synchronize Your Conscious Mind With Subconscious Mind for Success</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com">Addicted 2 Success</a>.</p> ";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:36:"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/";a:1:{s:10:"commentRss";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:123:"https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/how-to-synchronize-your-conscious-mind-with-subconscious-mind-for-success/feed/";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:38:"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/";a:1:{s:8:"comments";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:1:"0";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}}}i:28;a:6:{s:4:"data";s:94:" ";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";s:5:"child";a:5:{s:0:"";a:7:{s:5:"title";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:45:"8 Inspiring Ways Steve Jobs Changed the World";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:4:"link";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:90:"https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/8-inspiring-ways-steve-jobs-changed-the-world/";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:8:"comments";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:98:"https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/8-inspiring-ways-steve-jobs-changed-the-world/#respond";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:7:"pubDate";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:31:"Sun, 05 May 2024 21:00:31 +0000";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:8:"category";a:8:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:14:"Success Advice";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:1;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:5:"Apple";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:2;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:32:"how steve jobs changed the world";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:3;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:10:"Steve Jobs";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:4;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:17:"Steve Jobs Advice";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:5;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:21:"steve jobs leadership";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:6;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:17:"steve jobs quotes";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:7;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:16:"steve jobs story";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:4:"guid";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:37:"https://addicted2success.com/?p=56599";s:7:"attribs";a:1:{s:0:"";a:1:{s:11:"isPermaLink";s:5:"false";}}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:11:"description";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:379:"<p>Apple's success can be ascribed to two things: visionary leadership and innovative leadership</p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/8-inspiring-ways-steve-jobs-changed-the-world/">8 Inspiring Ways Steve Jobs Changed the World</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com">Addicted 2 Success</a>.</p> ";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:32:"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";a:1:{s:7:"creator";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:8:"M.S.

Scrip fell and recovered gradually. He is one of the most iconic CEOs in the world and is a leadership icon who always sets high standards for innovation. He changed the way people use technology through constant innovation.</span><span id="more-56599"></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Apple’s success can be ascribed to two things: visionary leadership and innovative leadership. <a href="https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/the-incredible-journey-of-steve-jobs-and-how-apple-revolutionised-the-tech-industry/">Steve was a rare leader who possessed these two leadership traits and integrated them effectively to put Apple on the international map</a>. He became synonymous with Apple and here are the hallmarks of his leadership.</span></p> <h2><b>Steve = Passion</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Follow your passion as your passion ultimately delivers the goods and determines your destiny. It is a fact that the people who pursued their passions rather than money earned both name and fame and carved a niche for themselves. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The success of the iPod is possible because Steve passionately spent four hours a week, 50 weeks a year for 12 years, discussing with software, hardware, and design experts to come up with the most brilliant ideas. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Research reveals that given the choice between passion and money, it is the passion that counts, not money. When you work in your passionate areas you enjoy your life and provide meaning to your life. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Over some time you will be contributing your best thus delivering amazing outcomes. When people work in their passionate domains they don’t feel that they are working anymore as they don’t get stressed out due to their deep involvement, commitment, and passion.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Such people create their own identities and build their own brands. In the long run, they are recognized and rewarded. Then money starts flowing gradually. In contrast, when people opt for money and work they ruin their health as they don’t enjoy their lives and ultimately spending for doctors whatever they have earned.</span></p> <h2><b>Steve = Vision</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Steve is such a visionary that where the imagination of others stops there starts his imagination and that made him stay ahead of his competitors. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Steve has clarity of mind. He knows where he would like to go and how he would take his people there. He created imagery pictures for his people and connected with them effectively.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He is a great speaker who communicated well and articulated his vision effectively with his people. Only when vision is strong and well-articulated leaders can easily achieve their goals.</span></p> <h2><b>Steve = Focus</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Steve is focused on his goals and objectives. He knows where his heart is and worked throughout his life with dedication thus hitting the bull’s eye. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He says, “People think focus means saying yes to the thing you’ve got to focus on. But that’s not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully.”</span></p> <h2><b>Steve = Example</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">No leader can influence others easily except through example. Steve stands for example. He dedicated his life to technology and lived up to it. He walks his talk delivers his best and expects the best from others.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It will have a tremendous impact on others thus contributing their best for organizational effectiveness and excellence.</span></p> <h2><b>Steve = Tenacity</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Steve is noted for his tenacity and resilience. He has been fighting since the early days. He was an adopted child and survived by selling Coke bottles and having free meals at the Hare Krishna temple in Oregon. He did not lose his heart when he was fired. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On his ouster from Apple Steve said, “It was awful-tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life’s gonna hit you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith.” He focused on his work rather than blaming his circumstances. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He pursued his passion for technology. When he was recalled to Apple many doubted his capabilities in the then-prevailing business environment. He proved his critics wrong and put Apple on top of the world through his passion and perseverance.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He displayed tremendous tenacity since childhood by fighting against several odds stacked against him including cancer. </span></p> <h2><b>Steve = Persistence</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When we look at Edison he failed several times to invent the bulb. When asked about the same he said that he did not fail but he had learned several ways that did not work to invent bulk. Hence, it is persistence that makes people achieve big. </span></p> <p><a href="https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/10-things-we-can-learn-from-the-incredible-steve-jobs/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Steve stands for persistence. He failed a number of times in his professional life. But every time he learnt lessons and moved on without any regrets. </span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He once remarked, “I’m convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance.”</span></p> <h2><b>Steve = Excellence</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Aristotle said, “Men acquire a particular quality by constantly acting in a particular way.” Steve acquired the quality of excellence by constantly working in technology. He emphasized on value addition to the existing products and services through his constant innovation and creativity. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He believed in excellence rather than perfection. He raised the bar for himself and others. It ultimately led to excellence thus staying ahead of others in the race. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Steve asserts, “Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren’t used to an environment where excellence is expected.” </span></p> <h2><b>Steve = Apple</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Currently, Steve is synonymous with Apple and he created such an impact in the minds of people globally. His successor Timothy Cook has a tough challenge ahead.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Whenever charismatic leaders left their successors felt the heat. Leaders always find it tough to meet the aspirations and expectations of customers and consumers. In the case of Timothy, it is very tough as his predecessor left a strong legacy who was charismatic and whose impact is deeply felt all over the world. However, Timothy would sail smoothly as Steve’s departure was well anticipated in advance due to his poor health, and succession was laid much earlier. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When the legendary Jack Welch left GE, the scrip fell and his successor Jeff Immelt found it tough to match the charisma of Jack Welch. However, through his soft leadership, Jeff could gradually fill the slot by molding as per the prevailing business environment. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Similarly, Timothy would evolve gradually as a leader with his own identity. However, it is still difficult to match Steve’s charisma.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Steve falls into the category of hard leaders and transactional leaders like Jack Welch who means business with a task-orientation mindset. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Although it is not appreciated currently it is still prevalent and we cannot altogether get out of hard leadership as people are different and leaders are different in their attitudes, aptitudes styles, and temperaments. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Steve becomes an amazing case study for many; be it for students or executives who proved that everything is possible in this world through passion, vision, mission, execution, and above all, innovation.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Most charismatic leaders hit their horns and create a leadership vacuum. They make their absence felt more. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Although Steve is a charismatic leader he paved the succession smooth but his absence will be felt more with his resignation. By leaving as CEO of Apple Steve handed over a big job for his successor Timothy Cook.</span></p> <h2><b>Steve = Legend</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When the entire technological world got into rate race and so-called PC wars, Steve trod the path less traveled thus becoming a trailblazer and legend. He started as a small fish in a big pond and ultimately became a big pond of innovation and excellence. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He rewrote the rules of business and changed the way technology works. He made a qualitative difference in the lives of people through his technological contributions. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He is remembered not only for his outstanding contributions but also for his visionary and innovative leadership in the world.</span></p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/8-inspiring-ways-steve-jobs-changed-the-world/">8 Inspiring Ways Steve Jobs Changed the World</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com">Addicted 2 Success</a>.</p> ";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:36:"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/";a:1:{s:10:"commentRss";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:95:"https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/8-inspiring-ways-steve-jobs-changed-the-world/feed/";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:38:"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/";a:1:{s:8:"comments";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:1:"0";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}}}i:29;a:6:{s:4:"data";s:94:" ";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";s:5:"child";a:5:{s:0:"";a:7:{s:5:"title";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:80:"Here’s How Self Motivation Can Be the Bridge Between Your Dreams and Realities";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:4:"link";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:118:"https://addicted2success.com/motivation/heres-how-self-motivation-can-be-the-bridge-between-your-dreams-and-realities/";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:8:"comments";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:126:"https://addicted2success.com/motivation/heres-how-self-motivation-can-be-the-bridge-between-your-dreams-and-realities/#respond";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:7:"pubDate";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:31:"Fri, 03 May 2024 21:00:03 +0000";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:8:"category";a:8:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:10:"Motivation";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:1;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:39:"how do successful people stay motivated";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:2;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:19:"how to be motivated";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:3;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:28:"how to become self motivated";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:4;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:24:"how to motivate yourself";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:5;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:10:"motivation";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:6;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:15:"Self Motivation";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}i:7;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:23:"what is self motivation";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:4:"guid";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:37:"https://addicted2success.com/?p=56594";s:7:"attribs";a:1:{s:0:"";a:1:{s:11:"isPermaLink";s:5:"false";}}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:11:"description";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:436:"<p>Self-motivation is the ability to motivate yourself without the influence of others</p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com/motivation/heres-how-self-motivation-can-be-the-bridge-between-your-dreams-and-realities/">Here’s How Self Motivation Can Be the Bridge Between Your Dreams and Realities</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com">Addicted 2 Success</a>.</p> ";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:32:"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";a:1:{s:7:"creator";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:8:"M.S.

It is the ability to move forward with your convictions and beliefs despite facing several stumbling blocks on your way.</span><span id="more-56594"></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is also the ability to move forward with energy and enthusiasm without any letup. It radiates firm faith in yourself. It is the courage to follow your convictions. It is all about not letting others opinions drown out your inner beliefs. It is one of the important aspects of achieving success. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">People are motivated through different ways and means such as reading books, money, love, comfort, career, success, etc.; Therefore, it is essential to find out how you are motivated so that the process of self-motivation becomes easier. </span></p> <h2><b>Merits of Self-Motivation</b></h2> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">It keeps your energy levels always higher. It develops optimism and confidence which are keys to your success.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Self-motivation makes you think ‘what next’ whenever faced with failures. It reminds you that failure is only a comma, not a full stop. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">It reduces absenteeism and labor turnover in organizations thus increasing performance and productivity.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">It creates a conducive work environment. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">It saves time, money, and energy.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">It brings all-around progress and prosperity to individuals and institutions.</span></li> </ul> <h2><b>Secrets of Self-Motivation</b></h2> <blockquote><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“People become quite remarkable when they start thinking that they can do things. When they believe in themselves they have the first secret of success.” —Norman Vincent Peale</span></p></blockquote> <h3><b>Dream big</b></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You need to think big always which is possible only when you dream big. Dreams will drive you to go to any extent. Your efforts and energies towards your goals depend on your level of dreams. Sigmund Freud rightly said, “Man dreams only that which he can achieve.”</span></p> <h3><b>Set a roadmap</b></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mere having dreams will not pay off unless you have a blueprint for achieving them. The blueprint should be so planned that it should be realistic and practical to achieve. Find out what are your inborn talents and combine them with the skills and abilities that you acquired through training, practice, and experience. </span></p> <h3><b>Be a firm optimist</b></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://addicted2success.com/motivation/how-positive-self-talk-boosts-motivation-and-productivity/">When you develop a positive attitude around the clock you tend to have positive results</a>. This positive thought process leads to positive actions by blocking negative aspects. It drives you towards achieving your goals by looking at the brighter side of life. </span></p> <h3><b>You are unique</b></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Begin every day with new expectations and aspirations. Stay away from negative thoughts and negative people. Accept the fact that you are unique and cannot be compared with others. Have a firm faith that you were born to achieve big in this world. </span></p> <h3><b>Involve in internal dialogue</b></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is a powerful tool where you talk to yourself and reinforce yourself. Internal dialogue helps in strengthening your subconscious mind by feeding with the right inputs. </span></p> <h3><b>Pursue your passions</b></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Passion is a burning desire coming from the core of your heart. It is like your heart prevailing over your mind. It is all about doing what you love to do. Find out what interests you and work on it. It propels you to move forward despite several odds stacked against you. </span></p> <h3><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://addicted2success.com/life/the-6-step-process-you-need-to-use-when-you-fail-to-reach-your-goals/"><b>Set your goals</b></a></span></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When you set your goals based on your desires, you develop a positive attitude towards life and your mind is engaged in the right way. You will have a clearer vision about what you want to do for planning your mission. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Break the goals into short-term and long-term and link both in such a way that they should be correlated and interconnected without any contradiction. As you achieve your goals you get self-motivated. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Even if there is a failure in accomplishing your short-term goals due to external disturbances, the long-term goals will hold you firmly with faith thus motivating you forever.</span></p> <h3><b>Break down your goals</b></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When you feel that your goal is too big, make it small and keep achieving it one by one. Once you achieve a small goal you get motivated by your achievement and will be driven to work further and forward. When you complete all sub-goals confidently then you will be excited to know that you have achieved your big goal successfully. </span></p> <h3><b>Consistency is the key</b></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Chuck Norris says, “If you want to accomplish anything in life, you can’t just sit back and hope it will happen. You’ve got to make it happen.” </span><b> </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Put your efforts and energies in a systematic and focused manner without looking for results frequently. Your objective is to put in effort regularly. Consistency with a firm commitment is the key to self-motivation and success.</span></p> <h3><b>Manage your time</b></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Learn to manage your time effectively and efficiently by allocating specific time for each activity. Invest your time daily for each activity without encroaching on other activities. Avoid procrastination. Delaying the activities will result in lethargy and piling up the activities resulting in stress. </span></p> <h3><b>High energy levels</b></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Always maintain high energy levels. Take good and nutritious food. Avoid junk food. Take food at regular intervals every day. Hit the gym or go for fast walking to lift your energy levels. High energy levels will keep you highly motivated. </span></p> <h3><b>Focus on solutions, not problems</b></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Never focus too much on problems. Generally, people brood over the problems and waste their precious time. Look for solutions to the problems. It is rightly said that below-average people talk about individuals, average people talk about events, issues, and problems, and above-average people always talk about ideas and solutions. </span></p> <h3><b>Spend time with loved ones</b></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When you spend your time weekends with your family and friends you rejuvenate your energies. You create and strengthen your emotional bonding. When you spend your time one day a week with your spouse, you develop a better understanding by sharing your feelings and emotions. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Similarly, when you spend a day in a week with your children you share your love with them thereby building bridges. Besides, you can educate them as well as develop them as individuals with strong character with values. You can also play with kids as they are innocent and lovely. It removes your stress and fills you with self-motivation.</span></p> <h3><b>Never give up</b></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Walter Sparrow, now and then, says, “Things will happen in your life that you can’t stop, but that’s no reason to shut out the world. There’s a purpose for the good and for the bad.” Hold on to your cherished goals and objectives. There will be several challenges while executing your tasks throwing you out of the gear. Be firm and ensure that things are put on the right and fast track. It is rightly said, that winners don’t quit and quitters never win. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Self-motivation helps you in achieving anything you desire. Channel your burning desire to achieve whatever you want. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When you are enthusiastic and excited about what you are doing and when you are motivated, committed, and dedicated you are sure to achieve success. Resolve to motivate one individual every day.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Make a difference in the lives of people.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To conclude, self-motivation gears you to accomplish your desires for achieving all-round success. It is a bridge between your dreams and realities. </span></p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com/motivation/heres-how-self-motivation-can-be-the-bridge-between-your-dreams-and-realities/">Here’s How Self Motivation Can Be the Bridge Between Your Dreams and Realities</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addicted2success.com">Addicted 2 Success</a>.</p> ";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:36:"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/";a:1:{s:10:"commentRss";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:123:"https://addicted2success.com/motivation/heres-how-self-motivation-can-be-the-bridge-between-your-dreams-and-realities/feed/";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:38:"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/";a:1:{s:8:"comments";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:1:"0";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}}}}}s:27:"http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom";a:1:{s:4:"link";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:0:"";s:7:"attribs";a:1:{s:0:"";a:3:{s:4:"href";s:34:"https://addicted2success.com/feed/";s:3:"rel";s:4:"self";s:4:"type";s:19:"application/rss+xml";}}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:44:"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/";a:2:{s:12:"updatePeriod";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:9:" hourly ";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:15:"updateFrequency";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:4:" 1 ";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}}}}}}}}}}s:4:"type";i:128;s:7:"headers";a:16:{s:6:"server";s:5:"nginx";s:4:"date";s:29:"Thu, 20 Jun 2024 08:52:52 GMT";s:12:"content-type";s:34:"application/rss+xml; charset=UTF-8";s:10:"connection";s:10:"keep-alive";s:10:"keep-alive";s:10:"timeout=20";s:4:"vary";s:66:"Accept-Encoding, Accept-Encoding, Accept-Encoding, Accept-Encoding";s:13:"last-modified";s:29:"Wed, 19 Jun 2024 01:38:00 GMT";s:23:"content-security-policy";s:23:"block-all-mixed-content";s:4:"link";s:46:"<https://addicted2success.com/>; rel=canonical";s:12:"x-powered-by";s:9:"WP Engine";s:11:"x-cacheable";s:17:"CacheAlways: feed";s:13:"cache-control";s:28:"max-age=600, must-revalidate";s:4:"etag";s:41:"W/"af23cdf7a82b00d8a1b68ffc66533721-gzip"";s:7:"x-cache";s:6:"HIT: 6";s:13:"x-cache-group";s:3:"bot";s:16:"content-encoding";s:4:"gzip";}s:5:"build";s:14:"20170417072931";}
