Lessons for Entrepreneurs

Hi there,

Daniel Scocco here, from DailyBlogTips.com

It has been a while, I know! I am back in action with some cool online projects though, so I will start sending emails to my list again when I have interesting stuff to share.

Don't worry, my plan is to send 1 or 2 emails per month at most, and always with valuable and useful stuff. You don't want to miss those!

Today I want to share with you a terrific presentation I came across this week, titled Things I will Tell My Kids if They Becomes Entrepreneurs.

All the slides are spot on, but there is one that I liked in particular, which talks about strategic vs. opportunistic behavior. It says: "You can either pursue every opportunity - in which case you are not really deciding where you are going - or have a clear strategy and reject opportunities that don't fit in. Opportunities will take you somewhere fast, strategy will take you somewhere far."

Food for thought huh?

Website owners and online entrepreneurs are particularly vulnerable to pursuing opportunities that don't necessarily align with their overall vision and strategy. After all setting up a website takes 5 minutes these days. The next time an opportunity comes along, think about whether or not it fits your overall goals and strategy, and only pursue it in case it does!

Best wishes,
Daniel Scocco

Check Out This Chrome Extension to Network Like a Boss! Posted: 22 Nov 2016 03:21 AM PST As you probably know, networking is essencial, regarless of your professional field. Whether you are a lawyer, teacher, corporate employee, freelancer or business owner, having a large and active network of contacts can make or break your career. Back in the day networking was all about going to conventions and trading business cards. Today, thanks god, things are digital. Instead of trading business cards you add people on social networks, which include Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook to get started. With me so far? Good. The problem is that the vast majority of business communications take place over email. Even people who still like to trade business cards will only include their email addresses and phone numbers on the business cards. That is a problem because while email helps for networking, it’s not ideal. Networking is also about getting to know the other person, her interests and areas of expertise, her latest career moves and so on. Likewise you want to show to your network of contacts your interests, areas of expertise and so on. Social networks are the ideal platform for that, but so far we only have the email of our professional contacts. Is there a solution? Yes, and it’s a clever Google Chrome extension called ManyContacts. I say clever because it’s a very simple yet quite useful idea: simply visit a web page and it will recognize all the emails there and display their respective social networks. For instance, if you open your gmail, it will display the social networks of all your contacts. Sweet huh? Here’s a video showing how it works: Now get off your bu** and start adding those contacts to your social networks. If you have a lot of them, do so in daily batches (20 or so every day). It’s a bit of work now, but it probably will pay its dividens in the future! Original post: Check Out This Chrome Extension to Network Like a Boss!
