Not Even Half Full

August 1, 2013 by Marc Guberti Leave a Comment

We’ve all looked into that bag of chips (or something else) and wondered if someone ate some of the chips before we opened the bag. There aren’t many left, and the bag was just opened.

All of the money spent on that bag of chips results in less than half of what you wanted. It’s a gamble that many people take. When you get a bag of chips with more than half of the bag empty, there are two choices you can make.

The first choice is to realize that it’s a rip off. Even if the chips taste really good, there’s going to be someone else who sells bags of chips with less empty space. There’s a better deal somewhere else with more chips in the bag.

The second choice is to eat the entire bag of chips and want more. The chips tasted so good that you want to buy another bag. Then again, that could also be your stomach growling because you didn’t eat enough chips. You open the bag of chips, and surprise, the bag is more than half empty. Now you have to make a choice all over again. Buy another bag of chips or look for someone else. After a while, it gets annoying.

When you sell your product, make sure it does everything you tell your clients it does. Don’t leave your clients stumped, and don’t give them something that is only half of what it should be. Then, your clients will go through the cycle of making choices about going for the full bag of chips or the bag of chips that is more than half empty.

If you could either get a full bag of chips or a bag of chips that is more than half empty, which one would you choose? Make sure you are giving your clients a full product.

The Things That Will Be

August 1, 2013 by Marc Guberti Leave a Comment

We control who we become. There is no limit to the greatness that anyone can achieve. Create your list of goals and do the work needed to get them done.

The things that will be are the things that we don’t know about yet. We have a vague idea, but not a complete one. That vague idea however can be very helpful.

One of the reason Steve Jobs was successful was because he was a visionary. He created products that suited people in the future. Apple is successful because of all of the time Steve Jobs put into the company. When the visionary was fired, Apple nearly went bankrupt. Few people know that it was Bill Gates who saved Apple from going bankrupt. When the visionary returned, Apple did very well.

At first, it would be cool to look into the future. However, it would quickly get scary. That’s why it’s a good thing we can only predict what will happen in the future.

We don’t just have to predict though. Our actions control who we become, and our actions also control who other people become.

The Difference Between Blogging And Social Media

July 31, 2013 by Marc Guberti 8 Comments

Blogging VS Social Media

Blogging and social media both allow people to share their opinions and thoughts with the people who listen. Promote the link you wanted to promote, share that news status, and more. However, blogging and social media are also very different.

When you blog, your content is all by itself. There is no competition when someone enters the URL to your blog. It’s just your blog post followed by another one of your blog posts. With this method, you can develop a stronger community.

On social media, you will develop a larger community, but larger doesn’t mean stronger. If someone is following thousands of people, chances are they won’t see a lot of your tweets. Social media is also filled with competition because the timeline keeps on updating. A new tweet appears on my timeline every second, and millions of tweets are sent out every day. This is the same for Facebook, Pinterest, Google+, and all of the other social networks. It’s also very easy to get fake followers although fake subscribers to a blog are less likely.

Blogging allows you to develop a strong community and social media allows you to build a large community. It’s quantity against quality. However, if you can mix the two together, you will have a big presence on the web.

Why Everyone Can’t Make The Cut

July 31, 2013 by Marc Guberti Leave a Comment

There are many people who try out for a sports team. However, there are only so many spots available. There’s never over 40 people on the MLB roster, and there’s only 9 of them on the field at a time. There’s no room for the 41st best player, and the really good back up can’t be on the field if there are already 9 players there. There’s only 5 pitchers in a rotation with a few exceptions.

The 40 people who made it are the ones that can be relied on. If one of them struggles badly, they are simply replaced. The 40 people who are on the roster right now won’t be going down to the minor leagues anytime soon.

The people who already have talent stay on. The people who aren’t on the roster that have talent are the ones that have to wait for a spot to open. On a professional level, they might not be able to deliver like they did in their high school. You can ask Billy Bean about that.

Not everyone makes the cut. There are more than 40 people who deserve to be on the roster. However, due to limited space, not everyone who deserves to play gets to play.

The only way to make the cut every time is to choose yourself. If you choose yourself, you already made it through the cut. If you got denied an entrepreneurial program, create your own entrepreneurial program. If you didn’t make the sports team, join another sports team and practice a lot. Choose yourself because there is no one better for you to choose.

Allow Your Mind To Wander

July 30, 2013 by Marc Guberti Leave a Comment

One of the factors for good business that may never change is brainstorming. It’s always important to hear other people’s suggestions and carry out some of them. When we brainstorm, our minds are at work.

Once you are done brainstorming, allow your mind to wander. After a good brainstorming sessions, you will be more likely to come up with a lot of good ideas for your business.

When you think of good ideas, write them down quickly so you won’t forget them. Then continue to allow your mind to wander. You will list pages worth of ideas for your business to improve. Continue allowing your mind to wander until you have a big list.

Then, choose some of the best options. For a sports team, many people try out, but only a few of those people can be chosen. Most of the people who try out will have a lot of potential, but it is the best ideas that will survive.

By allowing your mind to wander, you will be able to find the best ideas faster. There will be some trial and error with your business, but by allowing your mind to wander, you are very likely to find the ideas that do work.

When you take a break, try allowing your mind to wander. You’ll think of more quality ideas that will improve your business.

Go Big, Go Home, Or Get Creative

July 30, 2013 by Marc Guberti Leave a Comment

Everyone says go big or go home. The big question is why everyone has to go big or go home. Small businesses can get big, but they don’t have to get big by selling big products. Cell phones aren’t a foot tall, and most tablets aren’t big either. In fact, Apple created the iPad mini which is even smaller than their preceding iPads.

If you find a way to make something small very useful, you can be successful. You don’t have to necessarily go big in order to be successful. Creativity is better than any big product even if it’s ginormous.

Don’t focus on getting bigger. Focus on getting more creative.
