When marketing exceeds the threshold

It's been around at the infant state of industrial revolution that the now known modern type marketing started fueling on. That was a healthy practice. People found fortune in it and it really turns out to be working. Upto this day, marketing is a significant invention that led world to be more diplomatic than any other. Trade led national to shake hands and it paved the way to millions of jobs in hand and billions indirectly. Modern day freelancers often are dependent on marketing. It's

so easy in this day to become a marketer with a smartphone. We could craft a successful life story as a marketer within less than enough time. Even posting a picture of product considered as marketing. The worse comes when they say self marketing after posting own picture. Which is why it is prioritised to take a look at where this is going.

It is fair to admit as myself as a marketer that the scenario is getting absurd. That healthy thing was long gone. Now it's like you have to be careful about your own data being theft by trenching marketers. Ethics are no more concern of anyone since the competition is extremely high. You gave it or not, somehow they know what you are typing on Google. Somehow they know what's the colour of your underwear or even whether that is absent or not. How bad is that? Careful to the device away next time doing anything personal. Unless we don't come across with the dirty techniques of marketing, we don't seem to be informed about our information. It's a global network. You can't erase your information from a single source and pretend to be never happened. And can't make any accusation hoping it would get fine. That might have worked in the industrial age. Now that's too brittle. Learning about marketing and online sales would make you realise that how you are gonna rob and how you got robbed. Intresting, isn't it? Make yourself palpable and prepare worst the worst, because you are already in the middle.

Observation is the key

Too much focused on work or anything is not good at all. Not for both personal and professional. Yet we repeat the same pattern. Insanely focused in a work could bring better results. But these might lead to filter out the things we think is not at all important. But it turns out that is wrong. Often the things we wish could have were the things we merely ignored. Relationship is an example. Relationship with children and spouse often get cold when obsessed with way too much work. It is very much easy to eliminate the non essential and focus on what's important. But as the life progresses, most people realise that is not true. Giving time to nurture the relations are important as much as finishing the task. In the end all that matters is how well the life gets better. Just merely by observing the things that we thought as irrelevant may seems like a great choice to have. You might rethink and crafts the better one.

Growth is super fast

Looking at the rate of growth of the world, we could arguably say that the growth is accelerated from the last two decade. The graph is clearly exponential. It is already predicted that the it would be further exponential. From the eyes of this decade, it is most likely to find a horizontal graph when looking at couple of centuries before. There were agricultural, industrial and even the cognitive revolution took place. It is considered to be the slow growth period relative to what is happening now. But for a person living at the time of industrial revolution must have thought that it was the biggest ever revolution that happened so far. That is totally right. Not a single country dared to expel it. Most of them feared of being left behind. Revolution became inevitable in the modern world. We are witnessing and partaking in lots of it. Among the foremost one is AI revolution. Some of the Scandinavian countries are still at the verge of digital revolution. They need some time to m...

Focus on one thing

Concentrating on one field gives us a tremendous edge than giving a shallow focus on various different things. The difference here is that we get a lot of information from one sector which enables us to master the field.

Perfection paralysis

Perfection can be said as an illusion. It is never fully achievable. People strive to become perfect at things that they love. They try so hard and the process continues. It is like infinity, there is no identified boundary. We tend to go forward hoping to achieve perfection. But the journey pays some meaningful dividends. The reason we build teams is to execute our plans perfectly. It is to an extent, could be done by defining a boundary or target. But without the boundary, it may sometimes turn into frustration. Frustration comes in the way of rescheduling . Often people without a clearly defined goal stumble to arrive at a destination. Even at the time of shipping, they try to make the product perfect. They thrash multiple times and let every time the schedule go away. This is an ultimate sign of poor leadership. By doing this, there are no actual benefits. It often results in dry motivation. Employees loose enthusiasm and the momentum reverse. Sometimes products or s...

Breaking down to the elements

Although after spending lot of time in studying and learning a particular subject , we stumble upon coming up with ideas. No creative way of expressing the bit of information gathered so far. Reading some books, going through multiple articles and talking to a lot of people (master at the things you wish to know )might help to boost the knowledge. But no use to making it a part of your thinking. I mean you can't. But it could be done. It doesn't mean that you have to work eighty hours a week, it means you have to know how to learn before learning. It's like making a smart move. Lot of scientifically proven techniques are available in the internet. All of it points at the same direction , it is to break the elements into its basic elements. If you are an aspiring entrepreneur craving to come up with innovation and creative ideas you must dig into the roots. The reasoning done through own scrutinizing study leads to connect the probability streams to a great idea. " It...

Time framing for success

The problem with people who were used with instant gratification is that they would often assign wrong time frame with result analyses. What gets them to get their feet off the pride work is correlated with the measurement. The first few time blocks are always found to go against expectations. Without having the right time frame to measure, they often fall into the trap. The initials days or months always are meat to experiment and learn. During this learning process, things won’t go as expected and mistakes are necessary. Because learning at the early stages makes the person or the organization strong and keeps huge losses away in the near future. This period is often misunderstood and depicted as a wrong scenario thereby instilling the wrong belief or notion of passion. This is imprudent in nature and could be fixed straight with understanding or guidance. The range of possible net outcome differs different purposes. On a personal level, it requires less time a...

Diversify

Content matters

The 10000 hours rule actually came to vent viral after Malcolm Galdwell’s book Outliers. This concept is not novel, but with Outliers it became easy to interpret and Gladwell made it really easy. And it went like viral. The marketing is not done by the author, instead people took it and spread it. It went through multiple levels of marketing. Word of mouth made it concrete and viral marketing proliferated it like a fire. People did gave the feedback and turned into feedback marketing. It travelled through almost all of it became a powerful movement. This is one such example of how markets and people accepts powerful and useful contents. I’m not talking about Outliers, but the movements happened with it. In fact, sometimes these movements are created by the markers. They must have equipped enough to carry on. And it works too, especially well with good content and timeless lessons. Products those met with these criteria always travelled faster than any other products or services ...

Dip is there

Learning curve acts like a flee bull. When we try to learn or master anything, we spend good amount of time immersed in it. Anything new needs to be highly cared because it takes sometime to fire and wire the neurons together. After that the process become less difficult and more of a routine. The process of routine is not difficult since it is in a state of automation, but the journey to the automation is difficult. It requires us to go through the curve. The curve contains a lot of dip. Each dip is designed (by nature or universe) to reward those who survives. This is same as of what Darwin said in his book. It is the survival of the fittest. One these who works, wins. Each dip like said makes the participants stronger. It is must and inevitable. It may seem hard at first, but eventually proves the best. It applies to anything that is happening around.
