Business asteroids

 

Several million years ago asteroid in a size larger than the moon hit the earth and wiped most of the species leaving the dust particles to afloat. Since then, asteroid is identified as mostly a negative thing. In fact, many historians believe that that was the turning point to the second life of the planet. Generally, we could see people referring asteroid as capable of destroying anything. This true, but it is not complete. The sentence only fulfills the moral meaning when we add “and bringing the new world of new opportunities”. We would be survived if it hadn’t happened amid the dinosaurs. We must have gone extinct long before. It is common to assign asteroid anything that is about to wipe out the old and bring the new.

   The term Business asteroid got popular in the last two decades. Reason: we barely saw anything before. Like an actual asteroid it is perceived as wrong at its entry. Many people said it would not be a problem for them. Some sided with ´this is shit and child play’. But when it hit the world, it did what it’s capable of. It wiped out the industry and rebuild it for a new version of sapiens. And people resisted it got wiped off with the belief.

The digital photography entrance was an asteroid.  It bushed the old film industry and those who resisted the change got left behind. Kodak with its billions of market capital faded because they resisted the change. They thought, with the billions they could bribe the industry and refrain from the change. They failed and nearly out of business. They competed against the asteroid and failed to surpass the effect. But those who started along with digital photography made the profit. They were lucky that the asteroid hit despite the unemployment it created. The digital world conceded employment. The only loss was for the companies like Kodak. How could a billion-dollar company with decades of industry experience didn’t see that coming? Actually, they did, but did the wrong math and refused to join the early adopters. This is visible in any area now. Since the rise of the digital arena, asteroids are hitting more often and disrupting the field. It became prime important to adapt to the change.

 The pace and size at which these asteroids strikes have a proportional impact. Technologies like AI and Blockchain are such disruptive digital business asteroids. It is capable of reinventing the whole world. Even though it is a digital associated invention, the scale at which it impact would proliferate many visionaries to think twice and act in accordance. Despite their parent software industry, these technologies are disrupting the hardware industries such as electric vehicles and manufacturing machines. Of course, it will make thousands unemployed, but it would create vast opportunities that might serve millions to find a new job on the flipside.

The only question that can bring a change might be “are we ready for the change?”. Without change, we cannot survive. And change is super-exponential.

Use information for seduction

The ability to get out of yourself and dig into other people's lives can be useful when it comes to seduction. we must let ourselves subside and know the opposite person well. Know what they want, what they like, how they would react to different circumstances, and whey they like and dislike. During this process of minute scrutiny, never leave a clue that might lead to suspicion. Digest this information and keep tracking the person occasionally and ask them subtly about those private things to show you really care what they said. This sense of feeling that this person cares about us when used correctly can be a tool for seduction.

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.

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.

Fixing an intimidating deadline

 Fixing a time which has a limited duration is what actually drives the person. Vaguely making any commitment would always ends up unfinished. The thing that is observed throughout this vague sense is tha false belief of there is plenty of time exists. That's in a way correct. But the moment tha thought rushes in, every things get grubby. The natural tendency of us towards laziness is far more comfortable than any. This is well appreciated by our second self who wants to live in the darkness of comfort zone. This evil self hates dead line and flees at the time of deadline making it all to our good self which wants to finish first thing first. This deed self often get offended by the evil part. Evil part is expert at making us blind to the truth. Although it is clear that you won't make it unless by starting now, you chose not to. That's is the resistance that keeps the exalted version at bay.  This is not good for us. We want to shut those negatives up. Let's intimidat

Why we don't need jargons ?

Before giving why we don't need jargons, why not look at why we need jargons . Jargons play a key role in presentations, meetings, classes and even at interviews. They play in such away that we can extend our fake identity. Using such jargon terms, we can play pretend like we knew everything. We can make them believe that we are the right person. Actually we can fake them consciously by faking our own selves unconsciously. Do not paly this dirt with the field experts, you're likely gonna tear yourself. Beware especially when you're in the midst of mob. You can fake the fools. A great salesperson when confronts her customer never goes with cold terms that turns everything more complicated. They understand the psychology and closes the deal as simple as possible. By simple I meant, she never leaves the customer with; " What's is that thing you said just before ? " Jargons provide an actual safe and effortless place where you can hide your naive knowledge. And yo

Existence of god

Gods existence primarily stands at the inability of science to declare what's beyond the universe. Earlier people used to reclaim this belief using the explanation of sun and thunder. But lately scientific improvement led to the discovery of nature of sun and thunder and this thereby ending the myth. Gods existence will only prevail at the unknown phenomenon and unanswered questions.

Becoming rich and staying rich

Becoming rich and staying rich are two different things. Becoming rich involves a lot of effort and getting out of the comfort zone. Of course, you need to work your ass off. But staying rich requires intelligence. Because money put on depreciating assets can reduce the wealth into half within a short period. All the efforts that were put on creating this massive wealth goes in vain. Staying rich is equally important as becoming rich.

Mental development

Why would anyone care about the neighbors while he got loads of shit to do? Whether we have enough time or more than enough time, we do focus on our things. Apparently, this is not good for society. The kids growing up always expresses their curiosity to peep inside the neighbors' home. They are complete stranger to him and when he notices that his neighbors are not in term with his family, it will instill in his mind and he accept the irony that one should not consider smiling towards the stranger even when he is sitting near him. Kids take this behavior and struggle to make relationships in the future.

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 make

The toothbrush test

  To release a product that is worthy of shipping or an idea that is worthy of spreading, it must be of elegant use. No product reigns the market if it is for one time use. We buy products for using more than once. All the things that went revolutionary can be of multiple use or can be used multiple times. There is one test that most of the entrepreneurs use when the launch an idea or company based on that, it is famously known as the Toothbrush test .   This a funny yet powerful test that determines whether the product can be used more than once (keeping in mind that people do brush twice or even thrice a day). If it does it is worthy of launching and investing. All the now products are based on this simple test. People behind that do make sure that it went through toothbrushing process . We can see lot of new products on the market are toothbrushing product. Because we like to have a product which is of multiple use. That saves money and time. People do consider these to factors
