Great entrepreneurs are great observers. They watch carefully for the competition, analyze the market, your team and your partner. Great entrepreneurs to learn from the world around them and never, never stop learning.
Today I want to write a bit more about people, great moments to put our lives in ways that have nothing to do with the economy, entrepreneurship and companies boosted. Comics. That's right - a thousand years in all cultures, actor, comedian and satirical decor is still practiced and worked to make their brand, which is probably one of the oldest professions in the world, and maybe even the second oldest profession. Comics are not to go into the public domain or the authority of wisdom, but I think they are artists and entrepreneurs who learn many lessons we develop wonderful. Here are 10 things that comics do not all entrepreneurs can learn.
A comic take risks. You need. Every night they put in front of a room full of strangers and share their ideas and values. Of course, they do this to - to make people laugh. Entrepreneurs, by their efforts to take risks to succeed. Non-personal and economic security, giving time with family and friends, and every day we are open to criticism and foreign appreciated. To succeed in this business, and live comedy, we must be willing to accept and embrace the risk, but as a player, it must be done in a controlled manner, while measuring the potential reward investments in contrast to most employees.
Comics have two people. At best comic standing there today and you can easily reduce your style and your personality. Think BD develop your personal brand style and embrace the development of a strong personality. BD unknown, particularly consistent in their performance and their equipment to attract and keep your audience. Companies and Brands also strive to involve characters and sells it to make the image your company wants to set the question. For example, if we take into account Apple, we believe. Elegant and stylish products If you think Volvo, we believe that "security", and in instances where Bull Mart, tend to focus on value.
Tuesday BD develops consumer hardware. Without good [greater than or service, your business will fail. Entrepreneurs often develop their business around the customers to solve problems in order to ease the pain of a client, customer, or that there is something they can not find elsewhere. BD also awarded by creating new hardware, fresh and hysterically funny. Asked comedian wil tell you about the importance of creating new material to the public on the ground for five minutes. Ask any entrepreneur and they will tell you how important it is to keep your product or service and relevant. Same idea, different audience, that's all.
4 provocateurs BD management. Comics are willing to do "enemy" the performance of each individual. That does not mean you get vulgar drunk all the time, but you always have Singer remarkable contempt for the inevitable moment when someone shouted from the crowd: "You suck" entrepreneurs who live version of boos their - rejection of criticism, criticism from competitors and explored the media, and comics, answered repeated criticism carefully - crisper version of their enthusiasm, the silence is so special tease even the most ardent mocking or contemptuous.
5 BD "borrow" a comedy about the other. Comedy is the fact that. There are no new jokes, some variations of it, have always been there like all artists to learn from each other, borrowed ideas from others, and find the "inspiration" from their competition. Entrepreneurs have much to learn by observing and monitoring competitors and lend freely, the best ideas, the truth is that we can do better ideas and bigger, no matter where they come from.

6 BD fundamental aspect of other comics. There is a difference between inspiration and theft are very angry about the comics of his equipment stolen from others. This Cardinal different material without permission and comics easily can ruin your reputation, because in practice this type of theft. Companies should also be careful not to cross the line, at one end, the theft of intellectual property is a strategy that no company should be involved, but not to copy design marketing specifications, visual or mechanical are very weak morally. Justify
7 BD to connect with your audience. If you watch a great actor to work, you'll find they are. Always looking for discussion let's work and lines that do not have, they do not see eye contact members of the public what. Look at the guy who would not stop talking to your date the application and to ensure that the child did distraction while serving out loud drinks. The fact is that comics is affecting the environment, the quality of their performance, and they all need time to adapt and change in response to this environment. Large employers also spend a lot of time searching their environment and their customers. How customers react to a new feature or change in packaging? What is the answer if the price is adjusted? Where to see and hear the customers, a lot of companies and it is important to know what your customers.
8 comics using the response function. Some art of observation meets art in public spaces. When a great actor laughed with a new joke, it's a safe bet that the joke is on his way to the next and to the next. If the joke flops, BD usually takes one of two things: either to kill or completely refurbish try again with the people who come. Constant feedback loop is very important to the Company of comedy life and I think businesses in general. If customers continue to buy their products, most likely it's time to kill or change. And if customers always buy all the stock of their particular product is to produce as much as you can sell. Find information quickly and respond to kill fear joke that works.
9 matches BD. Point combines the two previous sections is comics are masters of energy and quick on your feet. Joke does not work? For a different group next Friday. Server brush making too much noise outside big insult to throw your way. Business, agile and flexible are features that serve their employers well. New marketing tactics show negative results? Turn it off immediately. New employee does not work well? Ensure coaching and feedback, and turned. New product sold quickly? Note that if the price is good. Entrepreneurs need to respond and the feedback capacitor, and make changes as soon as possible.
10 actual comics. All the time. They stand in front of a mirror and run their lines. Every time change their choice of words, repeated endlessly and tirelessly. Field of trade in and ask us to take the final product and makes this practice. Some employers report their second company much more successful first lesson, often attributed directly was learned the hard way. Let's run the business as your "art" and work continuously to improve their performance and their approach.
Towers diet you should stop spending money on
No matter how often we are told otherwise, die our obsession with quick-get-healthy diet probably never.
Too bad most of these quirks worth their weight in salt - or your hard earned money.
We have a list of some of the worst health trends, which today continues to put together.
Wardrobes for weight loss
When it comes to toning shoes is ridiculous and clothing that will help you to lose weight faster, you can hold onto.
Reebok has already paid $ 25 million consumers, after the resolution of a claim made unfounded allegations about her shoe line "for building muscle weight loss (Reebok denies the charges.) And the only study that seems to support the argument that the wire is stretched with burn more calories only involved about 15 participants.
"I think there are many ways easier and less expensive than the average person can burn calories and increase download the resistance," the Shape.com Liz Neporent. "Get to work, for example, interval training and hill. These workouts are certainly the science behind them."
Hormone injections
People are really desperate to lose weight, even if it means hormone injections to establish the placenta of another woman.
The FDA has arranged to sell businesses and HCG (produces a protein in the placenta and in the urine of pregnant women "), after the combination therapy with a diet calories been little used sold. 40 days kit for $ 120 But the hormone has been approved for use in the treatment of infertility.
For MayoClinic: "Companies HCG is not approved for over-the-counter, yet has been proven for weight loss that sell over-the-counter weight loss product HCG violate the law.".
Cures
This is a trend that is cooked blood is almost all nutritionists: the idea that people cleanse your body of toxins by eating liquid diet variation.
The plan cabbage soup Beyonce infamous "Master Cleanse", almost no science to back them up, says Rania Batayneh essential nutrition for you.
"What consumers need to know is that your body detoxifies naturally through the lungs, skin and kidneys," he said. "Sweat it out, exhale and remove. Eating a clean diet every day you wait is to give the feeling to end, rob to start cleaning. Moreover, naturally clean and usually is based on the elimination of food or food groups, and complete. "
Artificial Sweeteners
This time with a fiber supplement - a new version of its popular Splenda sweetener has been announced, but the idea that the consumer is paying more fake sugar, which was pumped with more fake ingredients a bit annoying.
"Adding healthy elements of unhealthy things just does not make sense," says Batayneh. "What is one gram of fiber (or maybe 10 for most consumers of artificial sweeteners) can do for you, if you should really focus on whole grains, legumes, seeds, fruits and vegetables against fibers depend on their coffee? This small dose of fiber should not try to persuade. "
Gluten-free diet (if it is not medically necessary)
Batayneh calls it one of the worst myths weight loss there and a further attempt to play on the causes of the low-carb fad Atkins diet.
"A gluten-free diet is not necessarily a low-carb diet," she said. "A person who eats gluten drink a lot of carbohydrates, gluten-free bread, pasta, cereal and bakery products, as well as vegetables, fruits, grains and legumes."
Proven gluten-free lifestyle in order to alleviate the symptoms of autism in children and, of course, is for anyone with a gluten allergy. But "if there is no medical reason to follow a gluten free diet, it is probably of no use," says Tricia Thompson, RD, founder of glutenfreedietitian.com.
More organic produce
Whether additional health benefits from eating organic food is a common misconception that somehow come bundled with fewer calories than their brethren in the amount of pesticides.
The federal guidelines, which is not certified organic everything lots of careful and regular is not "dirty" enough to justify paying top dollar (up 150 percent) organic versions anyway.
The Environmental Working Group has an excellent letter detailing products "dirty" and look "clean" we.
Snack Packs
Weight loss has to do with portion control, but of little use, snacks of 100 calories is not just a desire for big budgets.
"We distortion of this nation, and although I love (100 calorie packs) are pre-parties, which may be a more expensive option," says Batayneh.
Instead, use a measuring cup in the desk drawer perfect to remove part of what you pay to eat at work (almonds, dried fruits, etc.), rather than more for the packaging.
Acai Berries
There are literally no clinical studies to claims that the antioxidants in acai berries make you live longer, help you fly to support your feet soft goose or anything else.
"We had waves of expensive juice" super "in the market, which had only fruit juices," says clinical nutritionist Stella Metsovas. "Test of the chemical in a laboratory completely different when the product is pasteurized. No way to treat a super fruit to compete with the natural form (ie, a handful of berries)."
The popularity of the acai berry in the United States, for example, led to a new wave of scams involving "free trial" for smoothies, juices and other products.
Diet Drinks
Not only do they destroy the teeth, but a recent study by the American Diabetes Association showed consumers about diet drinks have been packing on the pounds, not lose.
Do not drink calorie drinks on a number of nasty diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer have been linked.
If you want to stop smoking, treat yourself to slow Weening soda substitutes, such as water or gas gradually reduce the size of the portions.
3 things are signs that you should abandon plans for initial disturbance
The last scene I wrote, OMG was so awful awful. Of course, the other day I wrote something that looked good, and the day you wrote something that you think could be very good, with a little editing. But you wrote that last scene? Are you sure it was actually the worst scene that someone wrote about the history of writing. In fact, you are convinced that end, if anyone reading this would badly hurt from laughing so hard as he was. (Unless you write is comedy are, in this case it would be curled up in the fetal position and cry tears of misery miserably unhappy.)
To begin, the atmosphere, as it can, the scene was a lot in what you wrote about this scene must take. He would, I did not sleep much last night to play the team that started up, a neighbor employed to do things to your coverage was upset with a chainsaw, there were more than enough caffeine that was interrupted six times by cats and young children, and anyone trying to sell life insurance policies - in this case, it can be very difficult to write approach (or something else), without feeling a bit grumpy with him a lot. You can read it again the terrible scene in a few weeks and discovered that he was indeed perfect. The worst was his state of mind.
Also, if you. In the process of producing a first draft that easy to believe that as good as the last thing you want is written can be That's not true. Although the last thing I wrote was really the worst thing ever written, that's not true. They are as good as the beautiful new look that do not yet exist, the beta reader sent heart and wrote and edited and polished until you see your own face reflected in it. Now, could go only to give the final version. And if they do, try to how miserable scene of a first draft? Nothing.
Someone in publishing, said that sex is a really hard sale / saturation / not your cup of tea / written by only the gorillas drunk and a complete waste of resources. And say that someone you love, a publisher or an agent is very high on the list of dream agents. Is it depressing? Yes Is that a reason to quit smoking? Of course not. It would be interesting to do some research and find other people to publishers whose tastes align more closely to follow with you. It is also worth noting that people's feelings sometimes change, and what is popular or unpopular change forever.
And sometimes it can be a good idea to limit your intake of publication of the information. Not quite. Just a little. Because let's face it, there are some details that need to simply do not know, while you are writing a first draft. Of course, if you are planning, for example by replacing the word fiction novel 200,000 relates the adventures of a pair talk to toilets, and you think you could even the query without magenta for agents developed more chances for you to notice - then yes, it could be useful in order to investigate more. But if you know in the area, all your blog posts sleep Officers Memorial, if you are keeping track of each operation ever, including the novels that sound incredibly similar to yours, then started to panic about how nobody's Roman wants? Calm. Probably you are right. Moreover, it might be time to turn off the Internet, and you know, a little writing.
You read a book that is incredibly good and the book never be as good in a million years. The good thing about books is that they are seamless. They create the illusion that they have always been as they are now, as you read. Their incredible stories and memorable characters and wonderfully beautiful language But they were always wonderful on this? Not even the best writers produce first drafts disorder. I love these posts by Laurie Halse Anderson and Kristin Cashore, where they show the rawness of the early drafts of winter Girls Bitterblue and share it, how to set up and edit, formed the raw awesomeness.
You can too scared. But for many of us the first draft is just the beginning of the trip, and the most beautiful shiny things not visible until you are right at the end. All you have to do now is to ignore the fear and still make the trip, day by day, word by word, until we find ourselves.
