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 at that time. Because the marketing is always done for content.

When the content is strong enough to recommend and worthy enough to taste, even without marketing , it would spread. Appreciation is never the less.

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 i...

Incompetence and communication

There is a strategy that is gaining its popularity at its peak within the last two decades is the mechanism of copycat. It is not new, but the copycat usage is at all time high. It took actually decades, in the early 90s and before, to actually copy the business model. There are multiple reasons behind that. The two most important ones are the lack of communication tools and incompetence. When a business model becomes successful, it rewards the owner and some of the partners. And their success only limits within their reach and there were no things such as viral marketing. If it had to spread, it must go through word of mouth. It is slow but powerful. Moreover, the business tycoons of that era were not ready to reveal their secret recipes. They themselves developed and applied to every venture. Whenever the organization became successful, they will reign the field, most probably forever. And people thinking of starting a business won't even think of starting one with a h...

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...

Attachment and decisions

Attachment creates problems. The reason we feel lonely whenever outside of our comfort zone is the experience we are going through is new. When we go through something that we never went through before, we feel a kind of uncomfortableness. This uncomfortableness is resulting in the creation of new brain patterns. Brains neuron activates when we go through something new. The existing pattern when finds it difficult to work with. This is the exact reason why while the new patterns form, we feel insecure and frustrated. Sometimes it creates fear. The brain nature of fight or flee comes to action when we put ourselves in fear. Fear most of the time creates a fleeing sensation than fighting. Because fleeing is less risky than fighting. Your life is guaranteed when you flee. But fighting takes a lot of effort that maintains the required outcome. So if fighting is not a desirable option, the fleeing is the only left one. That is why we see some people easily setting their presence in the...

Rescheduling and thrashing

Rescheduling and thrashing are both different words. But they are connected and dependent. One won’t (mustn’t) survive without the other. This was best described by Seth in his masterpiece Linchpin . It make sense when both are studied which levels the confusion of delayed shipping. Shipping isn’t confined to products and services, but it extends to anything. To think shipping as doing as per the schedule makes it more easy to grasp. Even the subtle things that hide along the appears to be meaningful. Thrashing is nothing but excuses due to fear that delays shipping. And rescheduling is a by-product of thrashing. Thrashing occurs at everything and every time. Mostly due to the weak resistance, we are nullified about this. At times when resistance peaks, we consciously prefer to stay the same. We can’t relate the circumstances happened at the start and happening at the end. The usual cliché “ it happens each time” is the best explanation the resistance wants us to believ...

Weekly analysis

It is really possible to outperform our past amount of output having a systematic plan. By sticking to a weekly plan is way more powerful and productive than the yearly plan. In case of scribing plan during particular year, it is a common phenomenon that people make less potential ones and moreover they tend to procrastinate. Procrastination here happens due to uncertainty. It is one of the highly leverage trigger for procrastination. In between the target and the presence, we could see a large gap of non-performance review. This means we never check the results and analyze the progress. All is left to the end and mod time is mostly wasted. It is a mistake not to fix this recurring occurrence. Having just a plan for this is year is same not having a plan. Every one knows after a year things won’t be the same. But our goal is to make the situation and lifestyle better than before. For this evaluation is inevitable. Having a progressive journal is both a reflection and motiva...

Writing is good

Writing is a very good way of practicing articulation. Early thinkers used their writing skills to improve the thinking. They are great thinkers because they are writers. People who writes is found to be more articulate and debatable than others. These people are excellent at bringing the ideas to communicative words. When done this perfectly, it is easy to make a change. Early sources of information were through books and other papers. They are highly trusted and only people with expertise of knowledge showed the deed to pass knowledge. Even in digital age, people with intellectual minds do value writing more than videos. Because it is powerful. People who practices writing are often considered as worthy of having a conversation with or being appointed at respectable position. We cannot write like we talk. Writing needs time to adjust and rich vocabs to express. But through practice, it is achievable. Later we could find that the writing is cloned into talking. We can definite...

Influencing action

How the things we did in the past influences the present is a visible truth. Whenever we look and at our journey, we could observe that everything we did made us. It created the perception, the character, and the mindset. If you think you have this poor mediocre mindset, then it is the sole action that you did in the past. It is clearly visible. Even the small portion that is influential could be the highest impactful one. Even the pace of our breath contributed to the present feeling. The famous saying what brought you here won’t get you there is quite true. It is most certain hereby now that, like the things we did in the past influenced our present, the things we do now creates the future. Every bad and good action contributes equally to the development of character and mindset. It includes both physical and mental blows. Each contributes a well-structured lesson to make us lead ahead. We may not observe the actual contribution that now has on the future. Now coul...

Making good decisions

Dealing with situations, when it won’t go as expected, is a skill that anyone can develop over time. Like any skill, it requires some effort and hard work. Most of the time people came to know about its value only after having gone through it multiple times. They fail initially at balancing the situation. More precisely, they fail at keeping their own mind in line. It is seen everywhere, but only a few people adjust to make an improvement in dealing with the problem. There are a lot of benefits to it. By handling the situation very clearly, we can refrain the circumstances from going bad to worse. It saves a lot of money and time, especially for a business. This is a part of good decision-making skills. Whenever we find a person who could outperform in dealing with harsh situations, if we scrutinize, we can observe his insane ability to make good decisions without an emotional influence. This is a skill that needs to be developed. Because no human in the world is free from pr...
