A productive daily routine is difficult to achieve.We all wake up in the morning, check our phones, and then go about our days doing the best we can. But then we finish our day and go to bed thinking: was that really the best I could do?  Your daily life should be composed of tasks dedicated to either maintaining the life you’re living or trying to improve your life for some future date. If you’re disappointed with your daily routine, it’s because you aren’t attending to this rule. Learn more about your ad choices.

Great marketing requires a storytelling finesse.This is because audiences are smart, and can detect the tricks you might be trying to play. Say your video’s call-to-action is too explicit; a viewer will see that and turn the other way.

Whatever the case may be, the cure to this is to tell relatable stories.Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoicesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“We evolved in small groups, and all groups have status hierarchies. From an evolutionary perspective, reproductively relevant resources always accrue to those with the highest status.” - Dr. David Buss (click to tweet) It’s no secret that a greater understanding of people will lead you to more success in business. From hiring to collaborating to managing to pitching, almost every touchpoint of business involves interacting with people. And if you’re not interacting, you are most likely working on your product that will ultimately affect or influence people. Thus, a greater understanding of human behavior and psychology will undoubtedly help you take your business to the next level. But how you choose to learn about human behavior is what will determine your level of knowledge and ultimately separate you from the competition. And that is why we are so focused on evolutionary psychology. To study evolutionary psychology is to understand the human being from the core; how did we evolve over the past hundreds of

It’s your duty to find your superpower and figure out a way to market it to the world.But laziness, procrastination, and every other excuse in the book prevent us from achieving that. We tell ourselves stories that are convincing enough in the moment to justify sitting on the couch instead of burning the midnight oil chipping away at our dreams. But our awareness of this pattern is the first step to changing the reality.Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoicesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“Augmented reality will eliminate the fear of others and make the world a better place.” - Jay Samit (click to tweet) Over the past few years, we’ve witnessed augmented reality technologies develop. But products like Google Glass and QR codes made us skeptical of whether this technology had a place in the real world.

The opportunity for your personal brand is greater than the opportunity for your business' brand.The people who ask, "Do you really need both?" are failing to see this truth. With a personal brand, you are able to differentiate yourself from the competition in a wildly unique way. The landscape caters to individuality; it’s a platform for self-expression. However, with a business’ brand, the story behind the product or service inevitably gets diluted by the fact that it is a product or service...Learn more about your ad choices.

The golden rule is: Only invest in things you understand.And with cryptocurrency, what needs to be understood is more complex than the average investment decision.
