Oh dear - Dane Maxwell^ has a lot to answer for. First Nathan Barry ( Similar to the Nathan Barry situation, I felt that the Execute book (touted as a book about getting a product out the door in a week, written in a week, but not available in any other format than print for two months) was equally asking way too much for the lack of information given. I wrote out this huge response to one of the designers and posted it on Dribbble, but deleted it after his response was merely "Thanks, we might do that later." Basically it dwindled down to "Why? Who are you? What have you done? You've proven nothing to me on this one page site, which isn't even attractive in itself. Just really basic stuff that would have helped convince people that they were making a solid purchase. Maybe I just don't want my readership to be suckers, I want them to be people who know what they're getting before they get it, as that will only help me spread the word and make more sales in the end.

NOTCOT The Science of Developing Mental Toughness in Health, Work, and Life Have you ever wondered what makes someone a good athlete? Or a good leader? Or a good parent? Why do some people accomplish their goals while others fail? What makes the difference? Usually we answer these questions by talking about the talent of top performers. But I think we all know there is more to the story than that. In fact, when you start looking into it, your talent and your intelligence don’t play nearly as big of a role as you might think. What makes a bigger impact than talent or intelligence? Research is starting to reveal that your mental toughness — or “grit” as they call it — plays a more important role than anything else for achieving your goals in health, business, and life. Why is mental toughness so important? Let’s talk about that now. Before we talk about how to get started, though, I wanted to let you know I researched and compiled science-backed ways to stick to good habits and stop procrastinating.

Nine Things Successful People Do Differently Learn more about the science of success with Heidi Grant Halvorson’s HBR Single, based on this blog post. Why have you been so successful in reaching some of your goals, but not others? If you aren’t sure, you are far from alone in your confusion. It turns out that even brilliant, highly accomplished people are pretty lousy when it comes to understanding why they succeed or fail. The intuitive answer — that you are born predisposed to certain talents and lacking in others — is really just one small piece of the puzzle. 1. To seize the moment, decide when and where you will take each action you want to take, in advance. 3. Fortunately, decades of research suggest that the belief in fixed ability is completely wrong — abilities of all kinds are profoundly malleable. The good news is, if you aren’t particularly gritty now, there is something you can do about it. 7. To build willpower, take on a challenge that requires you to do something you’d honestly rather not do. 8. 9.
Six Keys to Being Excellent at Anything - Tony Schwartz by Tony Schwartz | 2:21 PM August 24, 2010 I’ve been playing tennis for nearly five decades. I love the game and I hit the ball well, but I’m far from the player I wish I were. I’ve been thinking about this a lot the past couple of weeks, because I’ve taken the opportunity, for the first time in many years, to play tennis nearly every day. My game has gotten progressively stronger. I’ve had a number of rapturous moments during which I’ve played like the player I long to be. And almost certainly could be, even though I’m 58 years old. During the past year, I’ve read no fewer than five books — and a raft of scientific research — which powerfully challenge that assumption (see below for a list). We’ve found, in our work with executives at dozens of organizations, that it’s possible to build any given skill or capacity in the same systematic way we do a muscle: push past your comfort zone, and then rest. That notion is wonderfully empowering. Pursue what you love.
Artemisia Gentileschi Artemisia Gentileschi[needs IPA] (July 8, 1593 – c. 1656) was an Italian Baroque painter, today considered one of the most accomplished painters in the generation following that of Caravaggio. In an era when women painters were not easily accepted by the artistic community or patrons, she was the first woman to become a member of the Accademia di Arte del Disegno in Florence. She painted many pictures of strong and suffering women from myth and the Bible—victims, suicides, warriors—and made it her speciality to paint the Judith story. Biography[edit] Roman beginning[edit] Artemisia Gentileschi was born in Rome on 8 July 1593, the eldest child of the Tuscan painter Orazio Gentileschi. Susanna and the Elders, 1610 - Schönborn Collection, Pommersfelden The first work of the young seventeen-year-old Artemisia was the Susanna e i Vecchioni (Susanna and the Elders) (1610, Schönborn collection in Pommersfelden). Florentine period (1614–1620)[edit] In Florence, Artemisia enjoyed huge success.

The Idiot's Guide To Strategic Marketing | naijapreneur Every smart entrepreneur knows without marketing his/her business is going to die! But that’s just one side of the story.

18 March 2013, baked by Sara Wachter-Boettcher You’ve probably heard about the importance of empathy in design and communication work—of understanding others’ emotions and considering their feelings when we make things for them to use. Corey Vilhauer has called it “content strategy’s hidden deliverable.” Kate Kiefer Lee says it’s central to MailChimp’s content. Whitney Hess believes it’s the foundation of an “environment that encourages collaboration, iteration, and risk.” But empathy isn’t easy. As much as I want to have it, as much as I believe in it, I fall down on the job a lot. I think I might have found the real problem, though. Empathy begins with vulnerability. Fronting I’ve spent most of my life putting up one front or another: against middle-school taunts, against familial drama, against injustices both petty and profound. Fronting isn’t bad; it’s human. I’m comfortable when I can tell myself I’m in control, when I can attend to all the small details and various checklists that add up to “doing a good job.”
5 Simple Rules For Making Your First App It’s hard not to get sucked into the app economy. Apple’s paid out a total of $6.5 billion to developers, and successes like Angry Birds or Instragram seem so simple. If you designed the right app, you could do it too. That’s kind of how we started. We saw Steve Jobs announce the iPad in 2010, and we envisioned a new type of children’s books for the iPad. We would rewrite Hansel and Gretel and pack it with interactivity to create a new experience. It took three years. During that time, our illustrator got hit by a car--luckily he was okay--and our first software developers walked away a year into the project, forcing us to start over. We finished the app--but we learned some hard lessons along the way that we either didn’t know about when we started or that we chose to ignore because we didn’t fully appreciate what they meant. So here is a list of lessons learned from our mistakes. Secure distribution first--then build your app If you’re like us, you’re doing it backward. Wrong.
Iroko's Jason Njoku Is Creating The Next Netflix In Nigeria Cultivating Charisma: How Personal Magnetism Can Help (Or Hurt) You At Work As a socially inept teenager, Olivia Fox Cabane realized that she had two choices. “Either confine myself to a desert island, or learn how to make this human thing work,” she says. Cabane opted for the latter. Good thing. FAST COMPANY: So what is the myth of charisma and where did it come from? OLIVIA FOX CABANE: It came from the Greeks, who coined the word as “gift of grace.” So where did we get the idea that one needs to be outgoing and gregarious to be charismatic? A few things. For example? For “focus charisma,” which creates a cocoon around people and gets them to share everything, introversion is actually a key, critical component because you need to completely focus your attention on a person and listen attentively. What about the three other styles of charisma? There’s “authority charisma,” which is the most powerful form of charisma. And Steve Jobs? Exactly. The other type of charisma is “kindness,” which is what the Dalai Lama has. And this can all be backed up by science? Indeed.
The Concept Of Wabi-Sabi, And Why Perfection Is The Wrong Goal We humans revere the best: the best coffee, the best cars, the best phones, the best apps, the best schools, the best doctors, the best chefs, the best companies, the best CEOs, the best athletes, the best coaches, the best designers, the best actors, the best movies, the best dresses, the best designers of the best dresses, the best directors of the best actresses wearing the best dresses, and that catch-all category: the best of the best doing what they do best. Moreover, it is insufficient for our reptilian brains to simply recognize the best; we must recognize them publicly. To highlight our admiration for excellence, we have human-engineered lists, ribbons and ceremonies; red carpets, awards, and shiny trophies; prizes, certifications, and halls of fame. We may be able to feed our hunger, but we simply cannot satiate our collective appetite for awesomeness. We live to revere ourselves. Of course, our pursuit of perfection makes perfect sense. Perfection has its place.
