Did you water your brain today? 💦🌱🧠 You don’t post because you don’t feel ready today. When you feel that way, chances are there is a disempowering thought roaming anchored in disbeliefs about yourself. The behind the scene of becoming V.I.S.I.B.L.E requires to make sure you don’t believe everything you think. The more VISIBLE you become the more discomfort, the more online conversations, the more leads, the more clients, the more you become HER - the woman in your vision. It will require to synchronize with this woman you’re becoming. This is the work we do with my clients. As we build the foundation of their digital eco-system, we also nourrish their mind.

I decided to create a collection of visualization exercises for you to experiment with. The first one just came out: https://lnkd.in/gB65aEja Enjoy! You will receive the rest of the collection as I build it.

With so much information and so many resources at the touch of our fingertips, sometimes it feels like we’ve collectively gathered on autopilot. Trends are moving faster than ever in a race for wildfire virality. A blitz of attention, then on to the next thing. Somewhere along the line, these tools meant to enhance our craft became the strategy in and of itself. Where’s the art in that? As events of the past few years turned everything topsy-turvy, it’s rekindled a desire for those seemingly forgotten elements of human emotion that foster connection. We’re remembering the power of our passion. This shift in values is just the reset we needed. For strategists it’s truly the end of an era. What comes next is a world of possibilities waiting only for the right spark. This is the moment to bring fresh perspectives to life. The path ahead can be anything we want it to be. That’s the power of imagination. This report identifies six themes for strategists to watch in the fashion, music and culture industries this year. These insights reflect the impact of the last few years as world events called our existing systems and strategies into question. Understanding the cultural implications of these insights is the first step to building new foundations. Download your copy here: https://lnkd.in/ew9QX9Tn

A 2017 JERRY Seinfeld x Harvard Business Review interview is making the rounds. Are bosses taking the wrong lesson from it? THE INTERVIEW'S FUN. (Link in comments.) Jerry doesn’t know McKinsey and shares a punchy take on efficiency. THE QUOTE PEOPLE underline in screenshots they post: “If you're efficient, you're doing it the wrong way. The right way is the hard way.” JERRY: “THE SHOW was successful because I micromanaged it. Every word, every line, every take, every edit, every casting.” BOSSES: HERE'S THE problem with reading into this. You’re not Jerry Seinfeld. And your firm is not the once-in-a-generation pop culture phenomenon “Seinfeld” was in the 90s. “THE HARD WAY“ made sense for Jerry then. It doesn't make sense for your B2B SaaS today. BETTER ADVICE COMES when Jerry talks about his newer gig, the show “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.” HBR asked if he might run out of people to interview. His answer's a good point —and a great business lesson. “INSTEAD OF DIGGING down in the barrel of comedians,” as he put it, Jerry’s preference was to have comedians he likes come on again and again. THE GOAL: MAINTAIN the standard of output, not add variety for variety's sake. *That's* the real lesson here. MANY EXECS THINK innovation's necessary for growth. But that can backfire if you add products/services no one needs/asked for. (Engineers have a phrase for this: “feature creep.”) Time and again, consumers indicate that they prefer higher quality standards to a wider variety. Examples: –INSTAGRAM, WHICH WAS FORCED to backtrack many recent “innovations” —from pushing Reels, to the original unrequested update, non-chronological feeds— after users complained. —THE POPULAR US supermarket chain Trader Joe's. TJ's barely sell any branded goods. Instead, they pretty much only carry their own-label goods, interesting, high quality things like Aioli Garlic Mustard, Ube Mochi Pancake Mix, and Italian Bomba Hot Pepper Sauce. But a lesser-known, oft-felt benefit to shopping there is the fact that the average store has just 7,000 SKUs —as opposed to 25,000 at most major American supermarkets. That kind of variety is not a virtue. HEARD OF THE paradox of choice? It's a concept —and a 2004 book— summed up well by this sentence: “Though modern Americans have more choice than any group of people ever has before —and thus, presumably, more freedom and autonomy— we don't seem to be benefiting from it psychologically.” OK: NOT HAVING to compare 7 different brands of paper towel *would* make shopping at Trader Joe's feel like a superior experience than a stroll through the average Ralphs. BACK TO JERRY's HBS-level advice: “MAINTAIN THE STANDARD, as opposed to the variety.” A great call for anyone selling products/services looking to grow their business. And far better than pretending you’re Jerry on the set of 1995's no. 1 sitcom. — Join nearly 1,400 founders, creatives, and marketers who get this in their inbox 3x, a week👇 read.fatevfuture.com

In the current era of rapid technological advancement dominated by large monopoly corporations, our mission is clear: to harness innovation for positive societal change. Contrary to the narrative that technology creates new markets, we recognize technology as a multifaceted product, distinct from the machines it once complemented. Historically, technology evolved from a mere accessory to machines to becoming the driving force behind production. However, as digital technologies emerged, workers often perceived them as threats to their livelihoods, reminiscent of past resistance to industrial advancements. Yet, the conflict isn't between workers and technology; it's a clash between capital and wage labor. Just as historical inventions like the ribbon loom initially faced opposition but were eventually integrated into production, digital technologies can empower workers if harnessed collectively. Our mission is to navigate this transition, advocating for the equitable integration of technology while ensuring workers' interests are protected. Just as the mobile phone evolved from a communication tool to an indispensable part of daily life, we believe in leveraging technology for societal progress, transcending evolution into revolution. https://lnkd.in/dZw8a8nx #TechnologyAdvancement #MonopolyCorporations #Innovation #SocietalChange #NewMarkets #DigitalTransformation #WorkerResistance #CapitalVsLabor #IndustrialAdvancements #CollectiveEmpowerment #EquitableIntegration #SocietalProgress #MobileTechnology #EvolutionaryRevolution
