Whatever it maybe find that gold and polish it until it shines And lastly……..

Introducing How To Be Positive Thinking We've all heard about positive thinking, and we always think of it as a great way to live. For most of us, it's easier said than done. Why? Because when things are tough—when bills are due, you're short on rent, or your relationship isn't working—it can be difficult to keep up with the optimism. But I'm here to tell you that it is possible. Let me explain how I learned to be more positive in my life, even when things got hard. Your Not Alone Even Though You Think You Are One of the most important things to remember is that you are not alone. The world can sometimes seem like a cold and dark place, but there are people all around you who have gone through similar situations as you and have come out stronger on the other side. Just because your situation is different does not mean it's worse or better than someone else's. The best part about other people going through hard times is that they tend to be very helpful in finding solutions! Asking for support from friends and family can go a long way towards helping you deal with difficult situations in your life You Can't Control Everything Even If You Try It's important to remember that you can't control everything. You can't control other people, the weather, your past, or the future. You also can't control your emotions or your health and financial situation. In fact, there are only a few things that we can control in life: Our reactions to situations (i.e., being able to take things in stride) How we think about situations (i.e., having an optimistic mindset) The actions we take (i.e., doing something rather than nothing at all) Dont Be Scared Of What You Dont Know You can't know everything. In fact, you don't even know what you don't know. And even if you did, it wouldn't matter because your understanding of reality is just a construct of your brain—a fragile, limited thing that has been constructed by the same system that keeps trying to convince us we're all doomed to die alone in this universe with no purpose or meaning. But don't get me wrong: I'm not saying we shouldn't try to be better at understanding ourselves and our world! It's important to try new things and work toward self-improvement because it will help us feel confident when facing challenges and make us more likely to succeed at whatever goals we set for ourselves (even if those goals are just learning how not to be afraid).

Sylvester Stallone Success Story Sylvester Stallone's story is one that has inspired many. From the depths of the Hollywood blacklist to his status as a household name, the actor and writer is a true success story. His Rocky movies and Rambo series are some of the most famous films in history and he went on to become a celebrated director, businessman, philanthropist and author. Today, in his late 70's, Sylvester Stallone remains one of the world's best-known actors but his route to success was anything but easy. A Long Way From Hollywood Sylvester Stallone was born in New York City on July 6, 1946, to Jacqueline Labofish and Frank Stallone Sr. His family background is Italian-American and he has two older sisters named Toni and Julie Ann. His mother left her husband when Sly was only three years old, so he moved with his siblings to live with their father's parents in Washington Heights in northern Manhattan. His story started building dots was an amateur boxer, who won numerous Golden Gloves competitions which was one of the dots that gave him insight into a world that would be his key to success. As we see time and time again in Join Up Dots, the dots are not always clear at the time and can only be referenced as an amazing opportunity later on down the line. He attended high school at DeWitt Clinton High School but did not graduate as he had poor grades due to his persistent acting career which began at age 13 when he appeared in several commercials like Johnson & Johnson baby powder commercials or Richfield Oil commercials. He also appeared alongside Michael Caine on The Phil Silvers Show (1955) as well as on Mickey Rooney's variety show where Sylvester got involved with the entertainment industry even further by doing stunt work for movies such as Bullitt (1968). He could see where he was heading and it was obvious to him that he had the talent to make himself a star. However as we find time and time again in life one persons vision of success is not how the world sees it. More often than not the world says "You ain't going to get this easily but persevere and we'll see what we can do for you in the future."

And With Three Quick Steps He Took His Own Life Hi there! I hope you're having a great week. I know it can be hard to open up about the things that trouble us, but I realized I needed to be honest with myself and say what was weighing on my mind. Last week i saw a stranger commit suicide right in front of me and I needed to process it. So this podcast is a quick audio diary of my journey back to a positive mindset after years struggling with the shock of this event over a few days. The best way to not be afraid is to realize that the person who attempted suicide was suffering immensely in their head. Reprogramming the story in your mind will help you see the person who attempted suicide as a troubled human being, and not someone that is weak or crazy. It also helps to know that for every one person that attempts suicide there are many more people who contemplate it. So if you are feeling down and out, try to remember this, because I truly believe that knowing this made me

How To Do Customer Avatar Research Introduction Conducting customer research is a crucial step in product development. Y our team's goal should be to understand the behavior, needs, and motivations of your customers. This helps you build better products that solve real problems for real people. But it's not enough to just survey customers or ask them a few questions—you need to dig deep into their habits and mindsets if you really want to know what makes them tick. This article will show you everything you need to know about conducting customer avatar research, including how to identify potential interviewees, what questions you should ask them, and how your team can use this information strategically in product development. Create a list of questions to ask the team. When you're ready to begin, gather the team around a whiteboard and make sure everyone has a pen. Then, ask these questions: What are your customers' pain points? How can we help our customers achieve their goals? What motivates our customers to buy from us or use our product or service? Who is this customer? Where do they live and work on a day-to-day basis? Customer avatar research is a critical step in product development. Customer avatar research is a critical step in product development. It helps you understand your customers and helps you understand the competition, but it also allows you to better understand your product and team. Customer avatar research is used by some of the largest companies in the world, including Google and Microsoft. Customer Avatar Research Helps You Understand Your Customers It's important to have an understanding of who your customer actually is before you build a product or service for them. When companies think about their customers in broad strokes like "millennials" or "men over 50 years old" they miss out on so much valuable information about who these people really are as individuals—and how they behave when using products or services like yours. Customer avatar research helps paint a picture of these individuals so that companies can create products specifically tailored for them without missing any key details about their needs or preferences. Identify who you need to interview. When it comes to interviewing, there's no substitute for talking directly to your customers. But who should you talk to? Identify the right person: Who is it that brings value to this problem/solution? In most cases, this will be a consumer who uses your product or service; however, if they don't have much spending power and/or aren't willing or able to pay full price then consider talking with their manager instead (or another person that represents their wants). How many people do I need?: You'll want at least 10 interviews per persona type (i.e., 5 moms; 2 millennials; 1 upper-class dad), but if possible try shooting for 50% more than that so that you can get more data points and compare them later on when creating an avatar based on those findings. Identify what you want to learn from each customer. You'll want to start by identifying what you want to learn from each customer. What is your purpose for conducting these interviews? What are the main questions you want answered, problems you hope to solve and challenges you'd like to address? With this in mind, write out a list of all the things that come up during your research and how they relate back to these goals. Share and discuss findings with your team. Once you've completed your customer avatar research and gathered the insights, it's time to share them with the team. There are a variety of ways you can do this, from a meeting to a presentation video or even in an email. The point is that you have gathered all this information and now it's time to make sure everyone knows about it! Conclusion Now that you know how to create the perfect customer avatar research plan, we encourage you to start harnessing this technique. Whether you're creating a new product or seeking ways to improve an existing one, do yourself a favor and take the time to complete this research. The customer insight you uncover will be invaluable as you develop your product strategy, and it will help improve your existing marketing efforts as well. After all, understanding customer motivations is key to connecting with them on a deeper level – which ultimately leads to better sales results.
