You Can’t Win By Being The Person You’re Trying To Beat

by Leave a Comment

Google remains the most visited search engine among the other search engines such as Yahoo and Bing. Since Yahoo bought Tumblr and there was a Google VS Bing challenge, I decided to compare the search engines.

It seems as if there are more ads on Yahoo’s search engine results than there are links to websites that are not advertised. After a head count, there are 13 non advertised links and 10 advertised links. Some of the searches tend to show fewer ads, but there are going to be at least 5 of these ads on a page. By the way, blogger Barry Schwartz points out in this post that Yahoo didn’t wish the fathers a happy Father’s Day.

That leaves Google and Bing to fight it out. In the Google VS Bing challenges, I ended up choosing Bing as the winner. The problem with the Google VS Bing challenges is that I couldn’t tell the difference. Bing wasn’t going to tell its visitors what they picked until they made their decision. That’s why I and other people who did it couldn’t tell the difference between the two search engine.

Google has been around for 8 more years than Bing. Google and Bing both get billions of searches, but Google is getting more searches than Bing by far. Looking like the best does not mean that you are the best. Bing does look like Google, but Google remains the top search engine.

If you want to stand out from the crowd, you can’t try to imitate someone who is already standing out from the crowd.

Ending On A Good Note

by Leave a Comment

No matter where your business is heading whether it be up or down, everyday must be ended on a good note. Make some progress for your business by the end of the day or do something special. What we leave behind at the end of the day has the potential to reflect what we do the next day.

Ending on a good note will allow us to jump right back where we started on the next day. Ending on a bad note will make us hesitant to do our work the next day.

I recently took my last kick for my soccer team since I aged out. The last kick I took was a goal to the right corner of the goal.

C Not K

by Leave a Comment

The name of my blog is marcguberti.com, my Twitter username is @MarcGuberti, and everything I sign has my name on it. People still spell my name with a “K” instead of a “C,” even the people who have known me for a long time.

The common way of doing something such as spelling a name is not always the right way. Just because a lot of people have their name ending in one letter doesn’t mean everyone’s name will end in that letter.

No matter how many times I tell people my name ends in a “C,” people address me as if my name ended in a “K”. Not everyone is a part of the trend, and it is these people who are able to stand out from the crowd.

The Descending Business

by Leave a Comment

A business usually descends because of multiple factors. Less sales, fewer visitors, and less content are some of the reasons that businesses could be descending. When a business is descending, it means that the business plan doesn’t work anymore, no matter how long it has been used.

Don’t use the same methods for your business and expect different results each time. Selling a product will only result in so many sales. If the product is not marketed by you or someone else, the product will only be able to do what it is doing now.

The descending business is the business that continues to do what it has been doing for a long time. The tactics that made this business millions of dollars a decade ago could be hurting the business today. In order for the descending business to make a comeback, a lot of changes need to be made. If a business does not respond to its descend, the results can be devastating.

Calling Something A Priority

by Leave a Comment

No matter how important something seems to be, there is always something that gets in the way. I am constantly working on my books over the summer, but things do get in the way of that. All of the things I do on a daily basis which are important as well take up some time. The movie that I saw yesterday also took up some time. The new game app on my phone took up some time as well.

The priorities are important, but other things that we do are also important. What we do every day no longer becomes a priority; it simply becomes a motion. Then there are the distractions that seem to take a toll on the time.

If you have a priority, make sure you have nothing else to do. If you are able to devote an entire day to your priority without doing anything else, it will become a true priority, not just a title given to something that needs to be done eventually.

The Claw Machine Obsession

by 1 Comment

There are a lot of things to do in an arcade. One of the popular attractions at the arcade is the claw machine. The prizes are usually stuffed animals, but the prizes in some of these claw machines can be electronic goods such as a phone or game console. In order to operate the claw, 2 or more coins are always needed.

Grabbing the prize you want is easy. Just bring down the claw, close it, and hope it holds onto the prize that you want. The only thing left to do is to move the prize to the corner where you will be able to win it. That’s the hard part.

The claw machine appears to be easy at first. Every time another hopeful is about to win another prize, the claw machine drops the prize back into the pile of unclaimed prizes and goes back to the corner.

It won’t take long to realize that the claw machine is a ripoff. No matter how many times people try to win a claw machine, the claw machine refuses to cooperate. Then, the person trying to win the prize may notice that some of the prizes are very old, maybe years old.

The person losing coin after coin to the claw machine may be frustrated that he or she got no prize. This frustration makes the person continue to spend coins on the claw machine. The same result happens: the claw machine does not deliver.
