4 Powerful Ways To Win In Business Today And In The Coming Years

In his 1999 book, "The Age of Spiritual Machines", Ray Kurzweil proposed "The Law of Accelerating Returns", which said the rate of change in a wide variety of evolutionary systems (including, but not limited to, the growth of technologies) tends to increase exponentially.
The pace of change in various areas of life is increasing exponentially. For the records, Brexit, Trump, and the rise of Asia's middle class typify major examples of these exponential changes.
Like every exponential change, this shift can create either disruptive stress or opportunity for business owners and entrepreneurs.
I like to think in terms of opportunity, so let me offer a few key ideas that will help you create incredible business breakthrough today and in the coming years.
1. NO MORE LOCAL AND LINEAR THINKING
As human beings, we naturally think locally and in a linear manner. We associate and marry locally, go to a nearby school, and follow a year-based educational system. We look at salary as annual and try to go up "the corporate ladder".
A lot of entrepreneurs are missing on opportunities because of this mindset. You have to think globally and exponentially now.
You can spread your tentacles to other continents and do business with people from all the over world. You can choose to live and do business in different parts of the world and even learn different languages. As a matter of fact, learning to speak different languages has proven to be worth a lot in terms of opportunities.
If you're a native English speaker, then the second most important language you can learn is Spanish. If you're not a native English speaker, then mastering English and Spanish will open doors for you.
2. SIMPLIFY
The world has become so complex that only those who can simplify will survive. Simplify your life and help others simplify their lives as well. Create solutions that will help people save time and money, and make their lives less complex.
Like you well know, complexity triggers negative emotions and you'll be doing the world a lot of good by helping to eliminate those negative emotions while getting paid for bringing value to the marketplace.
3. THINK SCALABILITY
When starting or building a business, most people tend to limit their thinking to just running a venture that will generate enough income to keep body and soul together and nothing more. That's rubbish. You should never forget that until your business is scalable and saleable, you don't really have a business.
The bottom line is therefore, to have a business that is inherently easy to scale, in other words, to attract and accommodate increased demand. You want a business that has the capacity to grow to an autonomous entity that will provide large amounts of value to people. Because scalability is the only way to achieve high income that will ultimately lead to wealth.

4. USE SOCIAL MEDIA WISELY
Except for business purposes, social media is not your friend. It's your enemy. It takes your time and impedes personal productivity. For this reason, you should stop using social media to just connect with friends. Use it to your business advantage or steer clear from it!
There is more to this process, but this list is a good start.
I hope this was helpful.
Keep learning and keep aiming for the best.
Have an amazing day!

Why Success Has Nothing To Do With Luck

What you believe has a tremendous impact on how well you can deal with the challenges of life. As a matter of fact, I believe that your belief system is the single most important factor in your success and happiness. In the course of my life, I held onto 4 beliefs that helped me through tough challenges. They helped me turn around my finances, faith, career, and interpersonal relationships. Here they are: 1. EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON AND A PURPOSE TO SERVE ME This is the belief that helped me find the opportunities and the gift even in the face of adversity. 2. WHAT DOESN'T KILL ME MAKES ME STRONGER This is the belief that gets me going when I'm sad or hurt. I've scaled through moments of depression with the help of this belief. 3. I HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR, BUT FEAR ITSELF This is the belief that I repeat to myself every time I want to do something that scares me. This one is extremely liberating once you internalize it. What would you do wit...

A Must Read For Every Serious Income Earner

Recently, I was revising the notes I took from a business training I attended sometime ago, so I decided to share with you an incredible business insight that will change your perspective. Between earning linear income and passive income, which is better? Well, to make sense of the question, let's attempt a distinction between linear and passive income. If you're being paid once per month for the work or services that you have provided, chances are you're earning a linear income. Linear income is also called active income, where you earn one unit of income for one unit of your effort. To earn a linear income you also need to be present at your supposed workplace. Hence, doctors, lawyers, hawkers, or practically every employed or self-employed person are earning linear income. If they don't attend to their clients, they don't get paid. What about passive income? It is an income that you continue earning even when you're not working. ...

Why Your Beliefs Is Critical To Your Result

Few weeks ago, I attended an interesting webinar on the psychology of success. It was great, and I took a lot of notes. There was this female facilitator on the program who shared how, every time she was after a goal, she seemed to just give up when she was close to success. She was very ambitious and educated, but every time she was about to succeed, she dropped her efforts. In the course of speaking, she revealed that she grew up in a small, remote village in Africa, where the only women who had money and status were PROSTITUTES. So, she developed the belief that, if she became successful, people would think she's a prostitute. It was totally irrational, and she knew it. But the belief was so strong and ingrained in her subconscious mind that she kept sabotaging herself. A belief can destroy or build your life. I met students on campus who had EVERYTHING to excel in their fields of study, but always found a way to dread pushing themselves... It's...
