Getting screwed around in business is not something you want but it happens. Now what?
Today I attended an amazing meeting which was focused around networking and man people spoke about their business experiences. We each had to speak about how we handled objections or how we dealt with a situation where we may have been screwed over for a reason. If you are like me then the first thing that crosses your mind is anger and hate. Sure some of us have had really bad experiences and some of us have had not so bad experiences. So how do you deal with this? In today’s meeting we focused on how not to get our
Do you have the guts to do business like a prostitute
The other day my friend and I were walking down Queen street, Auckland. I was a bit tired and my mind was occupied on how to help a client get their social media campaigns sorted. This was particularly a tough campaign as it was targeted towards the food industry with many key players within the space. My friend and I were off to the NZ film festival but noticing my preoccupied self she asked me what was wrong. We kept brainstorming and then from topic to topic i have no clue how but we started speaking about how some
As a start-up would you prefer crowd funding or the traditional funding models
Crowd funding is based on the concept that individuals can now invest in start-ups. According to the web definition from Wikipedia.

With social networks being a part of our everyday lives, it’s going to be interesting to see whether politicians and government will take an active role with the online world in policy making. We have read and heard that in countries where politics is a matter of life and death, social networks have played a significant role in investigations. If you take countries like China and India for example social networks are closely monitored as many hate groups can be created within a network, people misusing the simple tools provided, and Giants like Google are taken to court quiet
Will Google expand its Drug Info Search Results to the rest of the world?
Isn’t it annoying when we search for a specific symptom you see everyone on the Internet giving their own interpretations. You can get feedback right from a teenager to a mom telling you what that symptom could be. That can be nerve wrecking at times. Google on the other hand has now come up with the feature that allows people to search for a specific drug, which could be a generic name or a name brand. These results are shown in summary format as the first listings on Google. The summary offers a quick explanation about the drug along
How to sell your offerings with Social Media the Old Fashioned way
Picture the scene in the 1950’s where selling was an art, it had to be seductive in some shape of form where the sales person guy / girl had to have a persona effect. Though the presentation material had an impact it was the whole package where personality was key to closing the deal. Fast forward to the 21st century and you will get to see: Social media, twitter, facebook, linkedin, blah, blah and more blah. Yes being on search engines and that to on the 1st page of Google is important and so are social networks and social platforms. With all

Could Nicholas Carr be right in his book – The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains?
Is the Internet actually making us think like idiots? Do you agree to this? Do you feel that your intellectual capacity has decreased over the years? Or have you noticed children perform poorly in their academic work at school due to the Internet. There has been a huge debate on this topic both online and offline especially since Nicholas Carr has highlighted points that may be concerning.
