Jeff Bezos - How I surpassed $200 Billion (Business Talk)

 

How do the top earners make their money?

It is always interesting to see how other people make their money, how they believe in themselves and what they have to offer. I get a lot of people telling me that I should not do what I am looking to do because others have not done it.

Believe in what you want to do, believe in yourself, believe in your offer and make it happen. 

You need to weigh up the opportunity cost of what you want to do and what you will lose if you want to do it. If you are not prepared to do what it takes then look for something else, something that you are more prepared to do. Look at your values but then do not get jealous of others for what they have achieved because they have made the sacrifices that you were not prepared to make and did not make the sacrifices that you made.

Will Starlink Satellite enable the world's economies grow?

What will that mean to you as an individual?

Global communication is of utmost importance to growing a global company but there are also opportunities for people to create industry in a smaller degree. How are you going to take advantage of these changes and will it make life better for you.

On the educational side it will hopefully give kids the opportunity to educate themselves and give them a better chance in life. However there are a lot of communities without water and electricity. If these communities are able to tap into this network they will be able to get opportunities that they would never have been able to get.

Elon Musk - If I were 20 Years Old

 

What would you say to a 20 year old version of your self? Would you advise this version of your self and warn them about the mistakes that they are going to make? I am the person who I am through the mistakes that I have made. I do not believe that I would be a better person if I knew better. Actually I don't think that a 20 year old version of myself would have listened to advice anyway. 

In this Elon Musk Interview, Elon talks about what he would do if he was 20. Every Elon Musk Speech is special like this one. Elon Musk Motivation is to make as much impact as possible and here Musk talks about the choices he would make if he were 20 years old

What is better for your business Slack or Microsoft Teams?

I have started to use Slack and Microsoft Teams to see if I can improve my workflow in the office. I am not sold on either of them yet.

Besides for the amount of resources that both platforms use and how much they slow down my computer, I don't really find them all that useful. I do think that if you are a Microsoft person and all your apps are Microsoft Apps you might think that Teams is the better option but if you are a Google Workplace, or Facebook Workplace person then you would prefer Slack.

I will continue to give both of them a good test and will come back with a better, more educated opinion in a couple of months time. But until then enjoy this video talking about the history of Slack.

What do you think about both platforms? Are there any other platforms that you can recommend? Are we just going back to MSN with a little more functionality?

The GaryVee Content Strategy: How to Grow and Distribute Your Brand's Social Media Content

Original Story Here


My content strategy is predicated on a “reverse pyramid” model.

It starts with a piece of “pillar content.” With my personal brand, it takes the form of a daily vlog, keynote, Q&A show, or another video that I do.

Since I start from video, my team is able to repurpose that one piece of content into dozens of smaller pieces of content, contextual to the platforms that we distribute them to.

This could take many different forms — for example, if you’re not comfortable on video, you could record a podcast. You might even film yourself recording the podcast so you could have a video out of it as well. And from that video or audio clip, you can create content for Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and more.

Personally, I create a ton of content. I publish a new episode everyday on the GaryVee Video Experience, which is distributed on my YouTube channel, Facebook Watch Page, and IGTV. I then also have a daily podcast called the GaryVee Audio Experience, which is distributed on my iTunes, Overcast, and Stitcher, amongst some other platforms.

In addition to what I just mentioned, I continually post “micro content”, that is distributed to my Instagram, Snapchat, LinkedIn, Quora, and many of my other social channels.

“Micro content” is created from each episode and is used to drive awareness back to the original long-form content. Long story short, I am constantly creating and posting as much content as possible and in a way that is contextual to each platform.

Because I am producing so much content on a daily basis and in a way that has been proven to be very effective, I want to give you guys the full breakdown and analysis on what it is that I’m doing and how I am doing it. Like one of my favorite quotes, “watch what I do, not what I say“, this is a really good time for you to sit down, grab a cup of coffee, and carefully take note of what it is that I’m doing in this deck.

Think about how it can be applied to your personal brand, your B2C product, or your B2B marketing strategy.

Shared below is a powerpoint that my team and I created to help empower and potentially completely shift the way that you think about producing and distributing content online for your brand.

The ultimate goal of creating this presentation on my content model is to show you how my team took one of my keynotes, repurposed it into 30+ pieces of content, and then successfully distributed all of that content, resulting in over 35,000,000 total views.

I’m very proud of this deck and sincerely hope that it brings you, your team, or your company some serious value.
