As a small business owner, you're unabashedly in business because you want to earn revenue. Often that means increasing prices in order to reach your realistic profit goals.  So how do you announce a price increase?  Reviewing what's out there, I found two strategies. One is to share your "why." The other is to associate your price increase with an increase in value. Each of these strategies assumes a story about you - and a backstory about your clients.  But...is that backstory accurate? Is there a better story to tell? Or do you need a story at all? In this episode you'll discover why these popular strategies can alienate your clients. This topic is controversial and I'd love to get your perspective. What do you recommend, as a marketer and as a client? Leave a comment and don't forget to subscribe! To learn more about finding your client's backstory, you can download my free guide here.

An enriching conversation for anyone interested in Indian music, for enjoyment, for personal learning or simply for cultural interest or curiosity about the  endless world of Indian music, which highly differs from western music, even in the most subtle aspects.Palash Dholakia is a sincere student and professional musician of Indian vocal. He studied bachelor and masters in music at Saurashtra University and is disciple of Pandit Ajoy Chakrabarty (a classical vocalist, composer, lyricist and gurudev of the Patiala-Kasur gharana; considered to be one of the proverbial figures of Indian classical music.)Palash breathed Indian music since he can remember, born in the state of Gujarat, he lived in a family where his ancestors were all deeply connected to classical music. He witnessed as a child his grandfather having conversations with Pandit Ravi Shankar, to whom he was very close. Through this early connection and exposure to refined sources of Indian music, he carries these sounds in his innermost being."WHATEVER I AM IN MUSIC, IS ONLY THROUGH THIS BEAUTY OF RAGA MUSIC. I FOUND A BEAUTIFUL WAY OF LIVING — MUSIC ALSO TAUGHT ME THE ART OF LIVING." A tradition like no other.We talked about the value for a musician to grow up in the atmosphere of Indian music, the vocal training, the learning attitude, the discipline of the learning, the blessing to find a Guru and the meaning of a Guru in one's path. One can feel that when one embodies a tradition, it is not an effort to communicate in such a clear, humble and competent way showing a total love and deep commitment on the chosen path."INDIAN MUSIC IS BASED ON SPONTANEITY, THAT'S WHY THERE'S NO SYLLABUS IN INDIAN MUSIC LEARNING.  THAT'S WHY THERE'S SUCH A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WESTERN AND EASTERN WAY OF LEARNING MUSIC... WE FOLLOW THE GURU-DISCIPLE TRADITION."The role of a Guru.The role of a Guru-disciple relationship is to develop oneself as a good human being and as a good musician. A Guru is a much larger scale than a teacher, that's why it is so hard to find a true Guru. A Guru gives you the right understanding."MUSIC WILL DEVELOP YOU AS A SIMPLE BEING, BECAUSE BY SEEING THE VASTNESS OF THIS MUSIC WE SEE HOW SMALL WE ARE IN FRONT OF IT. THE ULTIMATE PATH IN INDIAN MUSIC IS TO REACH THAT DIVINITY."About Mantras presented with music.Mantras, which are very precious and are from India, need Indian music training and language pronunciation in order to catch the original, authentic sound. Truthfulness is key.Summary of themes covered in the talk.the attitude of simplicity and gratitudeIndian music learning requires to go inwardsit's not about performing and entertainmentbeing a performer is not a goal but a by-productthis is a personal journey and it takes timecommiting to a Guru with blind trustthe wonder and power of ragasmantra singing requires proper learning of Indian music firstnothing in this path is about fame, glamour and successthe importance of developing both the learning and sharing skillsPalash finsihes the interview singing a brief piece in Raag Gunkali, a raag based on Bhairav Thaat."GOING DEEP INTO ONESELF ONE CAN EXPLORE THE MUSIC WITH MUCH MORE DEPTH" —Palash Dholakia....Links:facebook: Palash Dholakia | Facebookinstagram: @palashdholakiapodcasts Manish Vyas : manishvyas.com/podcast

One-third of our population faces some type of sleep disorder. Dr. Dholakia strives to increase awareness. In this podcast, he explains: The differences between disorders such as narcolepsy, insomnia, idiopathic hypersomnia, obstructive apnea, and more, and how sleep apnea treatments might improve. Connections researchers are making between Parkinson's disease and sleep disorders, as well as other health concerns. The mechanics of how our body functions during REM sleep and how some disorders affect this with potentially dangerous outcomes. Board-certified neurologist and sleep specialist Dr. Swapan Akhilesh works as a physician at the Atlanta VA Medical Center and is the medical director of the Atlanta VA sleep laboratory as a neurologist for sleep disorders. He focuses on the whole spectrum of sleep disorders from snoring to sleep apnea to insomnia. He discusses that while obstructive sleep apnea and insomnia are the most common disorders, there are numerous other disorders worthy of study because their effects can be dangerous.  Because of the overlap of neurology and sleep, Dr. Dholakia is able to bring the science of each together for better understanding. As a neurologist for sleep disorders, he is able to explain neurological complications that lead to these disorders. For example, the inability of some brains to decompartmentalize waking versus sleeping states causes narcolepsy. Because these lines are blurred for the brain, sleeping intrudes into wakeful times. He also explains many of the mysteries in sleep disorders such as idiopathic hypersomnia: they don't understand why these patients are constantly sleepy and are undergoing research to try and understand this better. Finally, Dr. Dholakia explains possible improvements into more common issues like sleep apnea treatments but also warns of the commonness of sleep disorders that can affect our health. Therefore, he's working to educate and encourage the public to seek treatment. He advises veterans who want to learn more to seek out the VA's specialized sleep centers. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the American Alliance of Healthy Sleep are also good resources.
