Applying the 80/20 Rule to Business and “Racking the Shotgun”
When it comes to launching a product for our business, it’s important to gauge our prospective consumer’s interest in the product before we…create it. However, when creating products, many people, myself included, come up with what we think is a great idea and create a product without testing the market first. We think something up that makes perfect sense in our minds and assume that it will translate to other people. This is one of the biggest mistakes we make as business owners. We need to understand that the market dictates whether our product is good or not.

5 Tips for Staying Efficient Throughout the Day
1. Use boomerang for gmail to control pace of incoming mailBoomerang for gmail is a great tool to control the flow of emails you receive over the course of a day. Many of us have the gmail app on our phone and can turn an email chain into a text conversation. The emails pop up constantly on your screen and if you respond right away to a couple emails, it’s hard to stop cold and start ignoring the other incoming emails. By using boomerang, you can write a draft response and then schedule it to send at a later time/date.Nick BanarMar 17
Accountability: 3 Strategies that actually help. [step by step guide]
Accountability, it is such a struggle in our lives. All the time, we have to make decisions as adults because we have free will. Free will…isn’t free though there are things that happen because of our choices, and we are made to pay for them each time we make a choice. Sometimes the payment is light and happy, and at other times not so much. ¶ One of my favourite philosophers is Jean-Paul Sartre. I loved my introduction to Sartre when we examined existentialism in my Introduction to Philosophy course, and further in my favourite elective of university, philosophy of sex, religion and ethics with David Stamos.
