In this solo episode, Mark interviews Joe Solari about his new book May I Have a Moment of Your Attention? Prior to the main content, Mark shares comments from recent episodes and then reflects on the reasons why he canceled a trip he was supposed to take to Florida to attend NINC (Novelist's Inc.) This episode is sponsored by the Patrons of the Stark Reflections Podcast.   In their conversation, Mark and Joe talk about: Joe's winding experience path, the long journey he has been on, and how there's no way you could possibly train for the job that Joe does The daily roadblocks that Joe had to overcome as he was beginning to learn about the complex writing and publishing business The importance of not assuming that the person on stage actually knows what they're talking about Also not assuming that what you "need" is what you're seeing presented on that "stage" Joe's very first 20BooksVegas conference (which he has been to since the very beginning of it) How Joe feels that we're still in the early stages of the entire self-publishing landscape Understanding different formats, like audio, where the consumers aren't necessarily readers, but do enjoy story The value of recognizing the assets in your business, which includes the asset of AUDIENCE and the related importance of DEMAND How ads aren't scaleable, but that audiences are scaleable Joe's latest book MAY I HAVE A MOMENT OF YOUR ATTENTION and how it's only available to buy direct from Joe How the book was created, and how, in part of Joe building his brand is NOT just putting the book up everywhere The audit statements in a survey that Joe asks readers of the book to complete The way this survey and other assets help the reader get to "know, like, and trust" Joe and then be willing to purchase from him How traffic to your Amazon page can be one of the worst things you do if that traffic doesn't convert to sales The value of a customer retention system The importance of feeling a special part of a brand's community Focusing on serving your ideal reader rather than trying to sell more books How author Chris Kennedy allows his fans to incorporate their own fan club about the worlds he has created and written The way that people who spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on merchandise, cosplay, etc, are not even thinking about how much a book costs Joe telling authors to try out his author marketing audit survey and to pay attention to it and see how they can steal his ideas for their own branding and marketing efforts The free 20 minute calls that Joe offers The critical importance of focusing on your audience, and not on what other authors are doing After the interview Mark reflects on a couple of the things Joe talked about, including the advice on assumptions made about the person "on stage" offering advice, and on the critical value of focusing on how you can serve your ideal reader rather than focusing on trying to sell more books.   Links of Interest: Joe Solari's Website Joe's Author Marketing Audit May I Have A Moment of Your Attention?

Securities lending is one of the widely misunderstood concepts in the investment community, and securities lending shows up intermittently in the news for both positive and negative reasons. However, this complex trading pattern driven by short selling can drive down costs for the investors. In today's episode, Grant dives deep into how securities lending works, the different parties involved in it and their roles, how investors participate in securities lending, and how it impacts the performance and costs of ETFs and mutual funds. [02:40] Understanding Securities Lending – How securities lending works and how it relates to investment funds that many people put their money in and how it generates revenue for brokerage firms. [07:13] Trading Settlement – The process of trading securities is a bit more complex than it looks from the outside. Grant reviews how trade settlements work and how securities lending comes into play. [12:50] Short-squeeze – How unexpected fluctuations in stock price can cause investors to lose money in certain scenarios. [13:47] Driven by Short Selling – Grant reviews how securities lending transactions between several parties create a complex ecosystem that facilitates short selling and how the demand for securities lending is driven by short selling. [16:23] Supply and Demand – How brokerage firms can make money through securities lending depending on the demand for shares. [19:10] Sources of Supply – Grant explains the sources brokerage firms use to get the securities they lend to other parties and how investors can make money by lending securities to brokerage firms in some scenarios. [21:40] ETFs and Mutual Funds – How ETFs and mutual funds are involved in securities lending as another source of supply and how it benefits investors by reducing expenses. [27:20] Facilitating Short Selling – A common argument about securities lending is that you may not want your shares to be lent out because you don't want to facilitate short selling in a company that you own. Grant shares his take on the relevance of this idea.   Resources: My Take On Short Selling: www.abovethecanopy.us/my-take-on-short-selling/

Listen in as I to talk to Ryan Luckin, VP of Marketing at LevelTen Energy in this episode called, "Balancing Brand and Demand: How to Drive Short and Long Term Marketing Objectives" ----more---- After some fun sports talk ... we talk about balance between brand and demand ... about the intersection of brand and demand and how important, I think brand has always been quite frankly, the driving of demand. But now more and more markers, more and more companies, are realizing that that needs to be a defined and measured and a prominent part of their marketing mix.  I ask Ryan, at LevelTen now for almost two years, how they are thinking about that balance that is investing in the brand but also feeding a sales organization and driving some revenue responsibility? Ryan says "Let's really focus on the demand generation but the brand (and I'm using air quotes, realizing nobody can see it). The brand has to be a bi-product of that. So what does it look like? What are the messages you're actually saying? And how are you saying them?"  Listen in for these answers and a lot more!  The full transcript and recording will be on the Heinz Marketing blog starting 6/24/19 at 6am PST.   ______________________________________________________________________________ Sales Pipeline Radio is sponsored and produced by Heinz Marketing on the Funnel Radio Channel.  I interview the best and brightest minds in sales and Marketing.  If you would like to be a guest on Sales Pipeline Radio send an email to Sheena.

How to successfully research your App idea and make it a winner!So you have an amazing new idea for an App and are convinced that you are going to change the world and the lives of many. But what do you need to do next, to ensure your idea and app is not already being done, already in the market and/or being executed by someone else. Without trying to sound ultra conservative, we want you to think about a systemised way in which you can carefully research your industry, your competitors and your market so that you can validate your idea and convince yourself that it will work and be one of the first of it's kind. There can be several things that contribute to the effective research of your app. See below:Google search - This is the first place you should start and ensure that you search both here in Australia and internationally. Basically, any other apps/businesses that are creating something serious and similar to you will likely appear in a google search if you type in similar search terms to your business. This is a great first step and will open padoras box and lead you off in many directions exploring the nature of the industry you are entering.Demand - How do you effectively understand whether there will be actual demand for this product? Beyond you and your family or friends, is there actually a large enough market and demand for your product. Find your niche or area where your likely customer exists and go and ask them in a group setting or individually about their thoughts and appetite for your product.Problem solver or Vitamin - Are you solving a problem, does the problem actually exist? If yes to both then you are heading in the right direction. If you are simply adding value like a vitamin, then this may be more challenging to your model as the pain for the customer is not as high. Find a problem that is painful and check others aren't already solving it already.Listen to Aamir and Brandon and walk through a step by step guide for researching your app to ensure you can answer the questions that will arise when an investor asks, have you done your research?Here is a link to google adsense that Aamir mentioned: https://www.google.com/adsense/start/?utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=1001272-adsense-acquisition-apac-en-hybrid-rmkt-similaraudience&utm_term=google%20adsense&utm_content=224813243993&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI-O3ZnJGR3QIVTQQqCh2UZQ_CEAAYASAAEgIcOfD_BwE#/?modal_active=noneGet in touch with us below:www.enterprisemonkey.com.auOur facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/enterprisemonkey/Our linkedin page - https://www.linkedin.com/company/enterprise-monkey/Our twitter page - https://twitter.com/enterprisemonk See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Today on Finance & Fury, we’re talking about …risky business! Why take risk at all when investing? There must be a reason some people are willing to expose themselves to unwanted troubles, to downward movement in their investments? As the saying goes, ‘fortune favours the brave’ but unfortunately you still have to get it right! You can be as brave as you like, but it can still go quite wrong. Getting it right with ‘risk’ without actually taking much risk, is really the smart, brave thing, rather than the blind silly thing of jumping 100% into an investment off the hope that it will go up. In this episode, we’ll look at how to use risk to your advantage. Fortunes are built by those who have been brave investing in good long-term growth investments because you do not have to work as hard, if you’re in the correct investment that’s growing for you behind the scenes as opposed to something that might go down in value making you have to work harder and harder to build that fortune. Types of Risk Pure (Absolute) Risk Events that happen where the outcome is either loss or no loss - there is no potential for gain. Examples: A car accident, your house burning down, health conditions, or death. Speculative Risk The chance of a loss or gain in an investment. Measured by volatility, which is just a statistical measurement that can make things look ‘risky’, when they’re actually quite a good investment. Why take risk at all? Why speculate? To win! You have to be in it to win it - staying out of this game, or never taking risk, is actually losing by default Volatility in daily life Volatility is the movement of the price of an investment – either up or down As humans we are ‘volatile’ with emotions for example Road rage A volatile partner; you get home one day to a pan being thrown at you for being late, or you get home the next day and the pan has been used to cook a meal waiting for you. Volatility in finance/investments (the boring ‘Stats’ definition) The changes in the price from the mean (average) Measured by Standard Deviation; the measurement of the average movement a share prices makes away (up or down) from the average price. A standard deviation of 1 means there’s a 100% possibility of movement from its average. The good and the bad So, what’s bad about volatility? The downside movement! The potential for downwards movement, or loss in value Though of course, volatility goes both ways - it also measures the upside movement, or potential gain For example - A2 Milk Shares (ASX: A2M) has a standard deviation of 421%, it can change in price by $2-$3 very quickly. Increased in price from $0.5 to $11.50 in 3 years. Gains are movements away from the mean, so as you increase the price quickly, the standard deviation also increases. Risk and Return Return = Total Income + Growth (minus inflation if looking at the real return in the long term) Growth = Volatility The increase in value of the investment itself The more volatile the portfolio is, the more it has the potential to grow – but it can also go down! You can choose to reinvest income or have it paid to you in cash. For example - You have an investment of $10k, paying an income of 4% ($400) p.a. If you’re invested in cash, which is paying 4% income out to you every year, you may choose to reinvest this income. Over time, the income your investment is generating increases from $400 to $592 in 10 years, and $876 in 20 years. So, in 20 years you’ve more than doubled your income from your original investment, by simply reinvesting the income. This asset doesn’t have any growth though it’s just cash sitting in the bank. Now, let’s introduce growth into the equation - You have an investment that is not only generating 4% p.a. income, but also 4% p.a. growth. You reinvest your income as in the previous example. Over time, the income your investment is generating increases to $868 p.a. in 10 years, and in 20 years it’s $1,864. From a 4% increase in growth, you have an additional $1,000 per annum, which is more than double what you would have if invested in cash. The only difference between these situations is the volatility of the investments – one is considered risky, the other one isn’t. What causes share price risk? Supply – Number of share listed/available to purchase Demand – How many people are buying or selling the share Price Factors: No crystal ball Business environments go through peaks and troughs (resources) Companies face competition Technology changes Poor management Legislation/Political Risk How to avoid it? Similar to relationships, you get to know the signs Never had a relationship? Well, you might not know the signs If you have gone through them over and over, maybe you either love volatility or you can’t tell the signs either. But if you can tell over time, you are learning You invest in relationships, hard to know beforehand. Here’s what to look out for with your investments: Ways to avoid Risk of loss Avoid over demanded companies – Bubbles Risky investments – Ongoing lack of profitability Underlying asset unstable – e.g. Agribusiness Overextend – Too much debt/leveraged Eggs all in one basket – No diversification Summary Beyond not taking relationship advice from me, do yourself a favour, get some good growth going - but do it right! In next week’s episode, we talk about covering yourself for when things do go wrong. In addition, we cover off topics like diversification, and not over extending yourself.
