Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Monday, January 6, 2024. This is Nelson John, let's get started. China has a new virus! There is a rising concern about respiratory infections in the country, particularly with an increase in cases of Human Metapneumovirus among children under 14. This virus, part of the same family as the respiratory syncytial virus, has sparked worries due to its symptoms and transmission methods, which are reminiscent of COVID-19. Unlike COVID-19, however, there's no vaccine or specific treatment for HMPV, adding to the global health anxieties. The increase in cases, especially noted in northern China, comes during the usual flu season but has raised some eyebrows globally due to fears of a pandemic-like spread, reminiscent of the early COVID-19 days. However, health experts note that HMPV isn't new; it's been around since 2001 and pops up seasonally in places like the US and UK. Jessica Jani explains what the new virus is and how it could affect the human body, in today's Primer.  Donald Trump's second presidential term has reignited concerns over H-1B visas, critical for India's $250-billion IT services sector. Historically, these visas have been essential for employing highly skilled non-immigrants in the US. However, Indian tech companies are less vulnerable today than in the past due to a strategic shift towards hiring more Americans and reducing dependency on H-1B visas. Jas Bardia spoke to IT industry insiders who told him that IT companies are hiring more locally in the US, which decreases the reliance on H-1B visas. US firms now employ more Americans than H-1B visa holders in these roles. Data shows that major Indian IT firms, including Cognizant, Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services, and Wipro, have significantly reduced their H-1B visa applications over the last decade. 2024 marked a significant increase in ultra-luxury real estate transactions in India, with cities like Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, and Bengaluru seeing record deals for homes costing over Rs 100 crore. Speaking to Mint's Khushi Malhotra, Ritesh Mehta of JLL highlighted the growth in this sector, noting high-value transactions on Gurgaon's Golf Course Road and South Mumbai's Malabar Hill. This surge reflects a robust confidence in ultra-luxury real estate as a stable investment. The data from PropEquity revealed 13 such transactions between January and October last year, a slight decrease from 21 in 2023. Anarock Group's data also shows that 99 ultra-luxury residential deals worth Rs 8,069 crore were closed over the past three years.India's new Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 is causing a stir with its latest draft rules, especially around the new requirement for parents to verify their identity when their kids want to use online platforms. This proposal is sparking quite a debate about its practicality and the potential headaches it could cause for both families and companies. The draft rules suggest parents need to prove they're really the guardians using digital IDs like the Digilocker platform, Souvik Das reports. While this is meant to keep kids safe online, it's also raising concerns about the extra burden it places on companies that now have to manage this verification process. Ketan Parekh, once celebrated as a prime mover of India's stock market, found himself implicated in a new scandal. Decades after being banned for a major 2001 market scam, Parekh is accused of using insider information to manipulate trades, profiting ₹38.7 crore. Additionally, a Singapore-based trader linked to him earned ₹27.07 crore in commissions, leading the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) to seek a return of ₹65.77 crore from those involved. The investigation, lasting over two and a half years, involved deep dives into financial records, phone data, and digital communications across multiple platforms. Sebi's detailed probe revealed Parekh's use of various tactics to disguise his involvement, including using multiple mobile numbers registered under different names and employing pseudonyms. Neha Joshi takes an in-depth look at the 30-month investigation undertaken by the market regulator, which ended up with Parekh's implication.

With its history of high population density, limited geographical footprint and heritage buildings, finding open land for new construction in Mumbai, today, is extremely rare. For this reason the city has seen a boom in redevelopment projects in both the private and public sector.To talk us through the details of such redevelopment projects, we have with us today Mr. Divyesh Doshi, Director at the Kinjal Group. The Kinjal Group is a Mumbai-based integrated real estate development and construction firm, with a focus on redevelopment projects, infrastructure projects and new construction. Their notable projects include the Crawford Market redevelopment for BMC, Kalyan Station Area Development, and Mazgaon Court Building for PWD. In the private sector they are also known for redevelopment and new construction projects in South Mumbai.Today we talk about the nature of Public Sector contracting, the models of engagement and the key factors in private redevelopment.So get ready for some Concrete Conversations!Have questions about Real Estate?

Come July and Australia's Deakin University will start admitting students. This piece of news might not be of interest to many. But what if we tell you that these admissions will take place in India, and at the university's local campus in Gujarat? Well, you heard it right. Foreign universities are finally coming to India. The National Education Policy, 2020 had laid down the framework. And UGC came out with a final set of regulations about two months ago. But will students warm up to foreign universities in India?   While foreign universities may take some time to gain a foothold in India, footwear made on foreign shores have already made inroads here. Leather shoes and sandals have almost become invisible, replaced by cheaper non-leather stuff.  The industry, it looks like, is on an inflection point as it is moving from the skill-based labour intensive leather footwear to scale-based machine-led non- leather footwear. Clearly it is a challenging time for Indian manufacturers. So, how can India scale up operations in non-leather footwear?   Let us now see what is happening in financial markets. IT stocks have been firing up recently on strong Q3 earnings, sparking a rally in the overall market as well. The Sensex index has surged nearly 1,800 points in just 4 sessions to cross a new peak of 73,000 on January 14. So, will the rally in IT stocks and the benchmark indices sustain?   Meanwhile, India's financial capital got a big gift last week. Prime Minister Narendra Modi opened the country's largest bridge on the sea. This six-lane Mumbai Trans Harbour Link will reduce the travel time between South Mumbai to Navi Mumbai to just about 20 minutes, from the earlier over two hours. Listen to this episode of the podcast for more.

If you want to make a fortune in food, forget about reading the future in coffee grounds and follow the big trends in the food service or the HoReCa (Hotels, Restaurants and Café) sector. This sector is traditionally the make or break point for any food innovation and it is often the first point of contact for exciting new products. We don’t just mean cloud eggs, cronuts or Instagram friendly rainbow coloured food but also foods that are tech-forward flavor bombs like plant-based food and in the near future, cultivated meat. In the US, iconic chefs like David Chang (of Momofuku fame) have heralded the charge of products from companies like Impossible Foods in their restaurants. In a matter of a couple of years, these products went from being exclusively served in upscale restaurants to becoming ubiquitous in fast food chains. In India, will we see a similar trickle down effect from restaurants to our grocery stores and finally our homes? We pose this and many other questions about the food service world to Gauri Devidayal, the co-founder of exemplary Mumbai restaurants like The Table, Miss T and the industrial kitchen, Magazine Street Kitchen.

Entrepreneur means: someone who identifies an opportunity and take initiative to set up a business or enterprise; someone who organises, manages and assumes the risk associated with a business or an individual who identifies a need in the marketplace and works to fulfill it.              In this English vocabulary lesson you will learn how to use the word entrepreneur. We are sure that this ESL lesson will help you to enhance your English vocabulary and speak English fluently and confidently. The word entrepreneur means someone who takes the risk and takes steps to fulfill the demand in the market place. For example:  The world is witnessing more and more young entrepreneurs who are launching their own startups. Listen carefully how we can use the word entrepreneur in 8 different situations in 8 different sentences. Example number 1 of 8: Sujal worked in hotel industry for five years in a large city. He had a dream of becoming an entrepreneur. Hence, he returned to his village and started agriculture theme based tourism. Example number 2 of 8:  The chairman of a bank was speaking at a college graduation function. While speaking, he talked about the schemes his bank has for young entrepreneurs and mentioned that entrepreneurial skills can be applied even if someone is doing a regular job. He asked the graduates to visit the bank and learn more about the same. Example number 3 of 8:   Kailash worked as a carpenter. He was very good at making innovative furniture designs. One of his customers recognised his talent and encouraged him to be an entrepreneur.  He gave Kailash some funds to start his own workshop for making unique furniture designs.

Ameera Shah is Founder and Managing Partner of Metropolis Healthcare, one of the largest and most trusted Healthcare Diagnostic company of India. Ameera joined Metropolis when it was 1 lab in South Mumbai started by her father. Over the years she expanded Metropolis to 120 Labs and 2400 collection centres. Metropolis Healthcare went IPO in April 2019. The company in recent fiscal year posted Rs 760 Crores revenue and Rs 205 Crores EBITDA. The podcast shares her journey to make Metropolis one of the most trusted names in Healthcare in India. Some notable quotes from the podcast: 1. I started building Metropolis at the age of 21 in 2001. When I started building this firm the biggest issue people had with me was with my age, the lack of medical qualifications and with my gender. People couldn’t see me as somebody who could be relevant as I had none of these three attributes which people assumed to be very necessary to build something. 2. To me the principles and the values that built Metropolis are probably the most important pieces of the journey. And we are very happy and proud to say that we accomplished that. Whether we accomplished the size we wanted is secondary. What we wanted is reputation. Whenever we meet anyone in the fraternity, Metropolis and I are recognised for being a clean promoter, for always being fair to people, for giving credible results and for making sure we take care of patients. 3. In healthcare industry commercialisation, corporatisation and profit are all bad words. Because in India we are conditioned to believe if you make money you are not good. 4. I discovered along the way that expressing your emotions in your work life actually can be a huge strength because it allows you to relate to people, it allows people to feel like they are understood, that we are not all robots coming to work and just doing our jobs but actually we are human beings. That allows ourselves to engage with each other on non professional fronts and that actually helps huge amount in building connections. Along the way I started showing my emotions. Some of my employees have seen me cry. 5. I have 3 investors in Metropolis and I have made sure to deliver excellent financial returns on their investment: ICICI Ventures in 2005, Warburg Pincus in 2010 and Carlyle group in 2015 6. A lot of people used to ask me how are you so confident ? And what I realised where does confidence come from. Confidence doesn’t come from trying to be confident, confidence doesn’t come from suddenly you being born with confidence. Especially for women confidence comes from actually confronting the biggest, deepest fears that you have. And when you come through the biggest fear on the other side, that’s the thing that builds confidence. 7. Governance is a mindset. It’s not for everybody. But for me I was very clear I would build a company like HDFC or Kotak which is about good governance, transparency, good communication and not being overly aggressive but being consistent and delivering what we say.

Today I have Aziz Kachwalla with us on Audiogyan. Aziz studied to be a Product Designer from the NID Ahmedabad, after graduating with a B.Tech degree in Civil Engineering from IIT Mumbai. With over 2 decades of experience in exhibition, lighting, retail and furniture design. The Orange Company is his design consultancy firm that does large multi-disciplinary interior architectural projects. His design studio is located at Mazagaon in South Mumbai and his workshop is called At-tin. Questions 1. What does Ply as a material mean to you? How versatile Ply is as a material? How different is Flexi-ply from regular ply? 2. What have been your observations while playing with other materials? Can you share any particular product / case study of the piece of furniture you made using other than wood? 3. In India, we have seen people having more inclination towards Wood (Teak, Rose etc…), Is that the case as per your thoughts? Why? 4. How does usage of different material for furniture come into main stream market? How does the progression happen? Do designers and artists like you have to show the way? 5. What material do you think will dominate India furniture market in the coming years? Why?

It has been 10 years since the 2008 Terrorist Attacks on Mumbai. Ten terrorists from the Lashkar-e-Taiba killed over 174 people in South Mumbai, and committed the one of the worst acts of terror on Indian soil. Dheeraj PC, a doctoral student in Intelligence Studies at the University of Leicester, helps us go deep into the attacks and their aftermath. Dheeraj analyses the events of 26/11, the strategy of the terrorists and their commanders in Pakistan, and the Indian response to contain and counter the attack. Dheeraj goes beyond simplistic ideas of how India "failed" or how Pakistan "succeeded", and busts many commonly held myths.

Why do great inventors, business people, and a ton of smart people have in common? They have many traits, but one specific trait is the ability to crack a problem. When everyone else has given up, these people are able to figure out what no one has done before. How do they do it?   This article shows you how to increase your learning speed by using deconstruction. It shows you how to crack puzzles that seemed too difficult by others.' ---------- In this episode Sean talks about Part 1: Where to start your learning journey Part 2: How to find learning patterns when there's no one to help you Part 3: How to stack the layers and accelerate your learning To read it online: https://www.psychotactics.com/speed-learning/   ---------- How to deconstruct complex topics (and accelerate your learning) What can a single video on YouTube contain? If you were to look at just six minutes of a NASA video, it might put you off ocean currents forever. In exactly six minutes, the contents of the video contain some of the following: ◦ Atmospheric circulation ◦ Wave formation ◦ Thermohaline circulation ◦ Upwelling and nutrient distribution ◦ Dead zones ◦ Sea surface height ◦ Shifting rain patterns ◦ Population density That's only the partial list of what's included in the video, and it hits you with rapid succession If you're confused, you ought to be, because the video is approximately how we approach most topics. A topic, any topic, is incredibly complex. However, the complexity can be quickly deconstructed. That is to say; you can learn a skill or teach someone a skill reasonably rapidly if you're able to break apart the concepts into smaller bits? The question is: where do you begin? What does deconstruction involve? And how do you know you're going about deconstruction the right way? To understand deconstruction we need to look at three elements: – Where to start your journey – How to find patterns when there's no one to help you – How to stack the layers as you go forward So where do we start our journey? Deconstruction always starts with a choice. But what do you choose? Let's find out. Part 1: Where to start your journey of deconstruction A tonne of gold costs about $64.3 million in today's prices. Indians are reputed to own 22,000 tonnes of gold. That's a staggering $1 trillion dollars in gold in a single country. Gold bars and coins are almost alway bought at festivals when buying gold is said to bring luck to the buyers. But the real obsession for gold stems from wedding jewellery. Weddings alone account for 50% of the demand every year. And in South Mumbai, if you wanted to buy gold, you'd head to a particular area called Sonapur. “Sona” is the Hindi word for gold and in Sonapur, you'd see dozens of gold merchant stores crammed back to back in a specific area. Now bear in mind that Mumbai is a big city that spans 603.4 square kilometres. Yet, someone looking for jewellery, and particularly gold jewellery would know exactly where to go. We have no such specifics when we're dealing with a vast and complex topic Should we start with wave formation or thermohaline circulation? Upwelling, dead zones or nutrient distribution? Or should we wander right into sea surface height, instead? It's clear that we need to start somewhere and the best way to get started is to pick subject matter at random. Random? Surely that doesn't seem to be a systematic way to go about deconstruction Let's pick “dead zones” from our list above, shall we? It's a pretty random pick considering how much material the six-minute video covers. However, as we dig into the topic, one thing becomes very clear. It's easier to dig deeper into “dead zones” and see how they occur.  In under a minute, this video talks about how we get to mass extinction by focusing on a single topic. Deconstruction becomes clearer when we move into areas we're more familiar with Let's take a sales page or landing page, for instance. A landing page has headlines, subheads, first paragraphs, problems, solutions, objections, uniqueness, bullets—the list goes on and on. To be intimidated by such a vast amount of moderately unfamiliar information is difficult to cope with. So we go into “random mode”. We pick something—anything—so that we can get going. Let's ignore the vast majority of the page, and head for the bullets, instead. What do you notice when you look at the bullets below? – How to assemble all the elements a customer needs to see to buy – Why template based construction is key to pain-free landing pages – Why “How to, how, and why” are your best friends in bullet points – How to use sequence graphics to keep your reader on the page – Why Bonuses need graphics for maximum impact – How to write bullets that sell even if you can’t write – How to avoid ineffective graphics – How to construct power testimonials even for a new product – Why FAQs are the place for “fussy” objections – Why the target profile is central to growing your tribe paDidn't find a pattern? Well, let's look at it another way, shall we? – How to assemble all the elements a customer needs to see to buy – How to use sequence graphics to keep your reader on the page – How to write bullets that sell even if you can’t write – How to avoid ineffective graphics – How to construct power testimonials even for a new product – Why FAQs are the place for “fussy” objections – Why Bonuses need graphics for maximum impact – Why template based construction is key to pain-free landing pages – Why “How to, how, and why” are your best friends in bullet points- Why the target profile is central to growing your tribe You noticed the HOW and WHY this time around, didn't you? If you're looking at the entire landing page, you're unlikely to notice the pattern even if someone helpfully placed it in the HOW and WHY format. You'd be focusing on too large an area, and it's close to impossible to deconstruct your subject matter when the area is too vast. Instead, you need to look at all the components available and choose just a tiny area, just like Sonapur, where the gold jewellery is sold. If the entire map of Mumbai were your sales page, Sonapur would represent the “bullets”. When I was learning badminton many years ago, my coach taught me how to win points consistently My badminton days are a bit of history now, not so much because I'm getting older, but more so because I'm one of those crazy people you see on the court. You know the type, don't you? They lunge at everything. And all of that lunging and diving just to win the point ended up with a tonne of muscle pulls and strains. Being the super-competitive person I am, I hired a coach to help me win points without having to lunge about so much. But you see the problem looming, don't you? Where do you start? The coach started randomly, getting me to focus on the grip. You can try it yourself, even if you don't have a handy badminton racket around. Squeeze your fingers together as if gripping a racket, while moving your hand forward. Immediately there's a tension in the shot causing the shuttlecock to go back faster over the net. Avoid the squeeze and attempt to hit the same shot, and the shuttlecock goes a lot slower, thus dropping short of the opponent. By focusing on a subtle component of the entire game, the coach was able to get me to practice the grip, and that alone helped me win a few extra points in every match. Every topic has multiple layers that make up the whole The reason why we get confused and are unable to decipher, let alone master the topic is that we try and take on the entire 604 square kilometres of real estate instead of focusing on a single area. But what if you focus on a single area, but still can't see the pattern? What if there's no coach around to show you the grip? No one around to helpfully move the bullets around and demonstrate how HOW and WHY play a pretty significant role in bullet construction? How do you go about seeing the pattern yourself? Part 2: How to find patterns when there's no one to help you How do you pronounce S-A-K-E? If you said “Sah-kay” you're right. If on the other hand, you said “sah-key”, you've failed to see the pattern. In almost every phonetic language the letter “e” creates an “eh” sound. So when you read the word “karaoke”, you don't say, “carry-oh-key”, but “kara-oh-keh” instead. Once someone points out the pattern, it's easy to correctly pronounce words in phonetic languages such as Maori, Spanish or Japanese. But what if no one reveals the pattern? In such a scenario, you'd miss the sound of “eh” and instead use “e”, instead. How do you find patterns when there's no one else to help you? Let's try it now. How do you say K-A-R-A-T-E? And how about S-H-I-I-T-A-K-E? You have it down pat, don't you? Kara-teh and Shee-ta-keh. And no matter how many Japanese words you ran into from now on, you'd know that the “e” is all about “eh”. This tiny bit of information may make sense by itself, but it's when you see the profusion of the words that have “e”, that you realise how many words you're likely to pronounce incorrectly. What you might not have noticed is that you've worked out the pattern For deconstruction, the first phase involves taking a tiny piece of the pie, as it were and focus on that piece. However, unless someone points out the pattern, you may not see it right away. The moment you take many examples of that very same pattern, you start to get a clear understanding. If we go back to the landing page example, for instance, you might not see the HOW and WHY so clearly on one landing page. After all, there are many ways to write bullets and copywriters take care to see they intersperse different types of bullets in an entire set. Even so, if you were to go from one landing page to another, and keep at it, you'd see a pattern in an incredibly short period. Try it yourself. Go to about 5-7 landing pages on the Psychotactics site alone, and you'll start to see the pattern of HOW and WHY wherever bullets appear. But there's an additional bonus in going through many examples Once a pattern registers, you are likely to see other patterns as well. For instance, a bullet can be written in a very simple way, or it can be embellished to go a bit further. Let's take an example. How to prepare the room before the presentation How to prepare the room before the presentation (even if it's already been set up earlier). How to prepare the room before the presentation (and make sure nothing goes wrong). We added two other elements in the bullets and you'd notice if you went through a whole set of them We emboldened those bullets with “and” or “even”. As you go through an entire set of bullets, page after page of nothing but bullets, the secrets of bullets reveal themselves to you. It's approximately how you go about deconstructing just about anything, even when there's no precedence. For instance, during James Hutton's time, the world was thought to have a fixed creation date Apparently on Saturday, October 22, 4004 BC, the world was created, or so it was taught around the time of James Hutton. Hutton is called the “father of modern geology” because he came up with the fundamental understanding of geology as we know it today. Hutton was curious about how the earth was formed. The religious texts of the day were pretty clear. The earth was 6000 years old according to Archbishop James Ussher of Ireland. And that was that—no further discussion was allowed on the topic. Hutton wasn't exactly convinced and he set about his journey of deconstruction. Hutton's moment of discovery came indirectly because of his whisky and his women In 1747, Hutton was a young medical graduate, who got drunk and the ladies got too much of his attention. He managed to get his lover Miss Eddington pregnant. The scandal that erupted saw her being rushed off to London to give birth. Hutton's family too needed to limit the damage to their reputation and he was forced to leave Edinburgh and go off to a small family farm in Slighhouses, Southern Scotland. It was there that he saw the top soil run off and go downstream If the land were always going to be eroded, there would be no topsoil and crops couldn't be grown; which in turn would cause people to starve over time. Hutton couldn't buy that the earth would be stripped away to nothing. Working in isolation, he rejected the world view at the time and needed to figure out how new land was formed. And then on his form his great idea about “how new land could be created.” Hutton's examples were cliffs. Around his farm were dozens, hundreds of cliffs. In the exposed parts of the cliffs, he'd have noticed the bands of rocks, laid down like layers one on top of the other, and at different times. He'd figured out how rock was formed like no known person had done before his time. Sedimentary rock that's taught in school these days was revolutionary back in Hutton's time. How did he do it? He looked at example after example until the rock gave away its secrets. Surely you and I could look at rock all day and the only result would be a big headache at the end of the day But let's stop to think about deconstruction for a second. You could take apart quite a few things in your house or office today. Over time, and with a little bit of persistence, you'd work out how it was built. The more examples you deconstruct using the very same, or similar product, the more likely you'd be to recognise its structure. While it may seem that some people are incredibly intelligent at deconstructing and reconstructing concepts, they're probably just as bright as you. The brain works solely through pattern-recognition. If you find enough examples to work with them, and you get working on those examples, the ideas reveal themselves to you over time. There's no doubt a bit of luck involved Luck plays as big, if not a larger role than hard work, but to deconstruct just about anything you need time and persistence. And lots and lots of examples. It's hard to believe that you, me, anyone of us can deconstruct, but you can look through historical or even modern times and find not tens of thousands, even millions of examples of people who achieve many deconstruction goals every single year. Nothing is quite as good as a good teacher A teacher's job is to reduce the learning curve and make you smart, smarter than the teacher himself. Even so, you can be your own teacher if you start with Phase one and isolate a tiny part of the big puzzle. When you get to Phase two, you'd need lots of examples, possibly hundreds, before a pattern clearly starts to emerge. Sake, karate, karaoke. That's a pattern. Writing bullets. That too is a pattern. Figuring out how the Earth regenerates itself, yes that is a pattern as well. Which then takes us to our last phase: reconstruction. Or how to stack the layers as you go forward. Let's find out how it's done. Part 3: How to stack the layers going forward In late October 2016, I gave a presentation at the WeArePodcast conference. The presentation wasn't about how to grow your audience or monetise your podcast. Instead, the presentation was about the elements of telling a story. For weeks before the event, I struggled with the presentation, and the reason I was so conflicted was due to the length of the presentation. I had just 30 minutes or so to get the point across. How do you take a lifetime of storytelling and encapsulate it in a 30-minute module? You don't. When you deconstruct or reconstruct, the goal should be exactly the same. It's always meant to take a tiny piece of the information you have on hand and then go deep. I happened to talk about the elements of a story in that presentation, but if I were making a presentation on how a dead zone shows up in the ocean, I'd use the very same principle. And that's what you should do too as well. Instead of taking on the entire subject matter, take on a tiny slice If you were presenting about dead zones in the ocean floor, you'd probably cover three elements. 1: The ocean conveyor belt 2: The role of cold water currents and warm water currents 3: How dead zones occur Granted, this is a tiny part of what you're likely to know about thermohaline circulation and the ocean conveyor belt, but it's enough. And how do you know it's enough? There's a precise benchmark to know when you're overcooking your information. That benchmark is the ability of the audience or readers to recall the information. If you overdose them with information, they'll recall parts of it, but not all Information that's just re-constructed just right usually allows the client to remember the entire sequence without too much prodding. And covering just three points, even when you have a thousand to cover is usually a good way to go about things. Three points force you to constrain yourself and go deep into your content. For instance, many podcasts on the Three Month Vacation covers about 4000-5000 words, yet they only cover three points. This article might go well into 4000-5000 words, but it only covers three points. It's likely that the person reading this information may not be able to recall the three points instantly, but give them a summary and it all comes flooding back. And that's how you know your reconstruct is goody-yum-yum At Psychotactics, we do this reconstruct at our workshops. Take for instance the workshop we had on Landing Pages in Queenstown, New Zealand. It was a three-day workshop, and on the very last day, I got the group to summarise what they had learned. If you've done a solid job, you'll see their eyes, not the top of their heads. No one will be looking down at their notes scrambling to remember what was taught. Instead, they'll be looking right at you, reassembling the information just the way it was given to them. This technique is also easy to use when making a presentation to a live audience. You can have 200, 500 or a 1000 people in the audience going through the sequence of what you've just taught them. And that's the real feedback—when the audience can remember it all. So do you remember what you just learned? Let's see. What did we cover? Summary: – Where to start your journey of deconstruction – How to find patterns when there's no one to help you – How to stack the layers as you go forward The journey needs to start with a small slice. Instead of taking on a big topic, go down to one tiny part. Want to take apart the car? How about holding back a little and then taking apart just the wheel, instead? If you have someone to help you; a teacher; a guide, then that speeds up the learning process. But what if you have no one? What if you're like James Hutton and you're faced with the prospect of doing something no one has done before? In such a case, and in every case, really, you should be looking at a tonne of examples. Examples help you understand the same problem, see the same patterns from many angles. You may or may not hit the jackpot of how to write bullets on a landing page, but if you look at dozens of examples of bullets, you'll find the so-called secret will reveal itself to you. Finally, when it comes back to the reconstruct, it's just as important to realise that you have to be a bit stingy with your topics. Instead of covering half a dozen topics, just cover three main topics and go really deep. You know you're not overdoing the information because the audience can easily recall what you've told them without needing to look at their notes. Even 4000-5000 words later, the reader or listener should be able to remember the points you've covered and pass them on to someone else without too much of a problem. And that is the short and exciting journey of deconstruction. Now it's time for some sake, eh?   Do you know: Focus can cause a massive blindspot in our business.So what's the option? Surely it can't be distraction? Actually it's a mix of both that's required. Using the concept of “spinning plates”, you can avoid the blind spot of success and the mindlessness of distraction. How Success Causes A Blind Spot And Creates A Rip Van Winkle Effect https://www.psychotactics.com/how-success-causes-blind-spot/

It's easy to fall under India's spell of history, spirituality, culture and amazing food. I'm currently on the road and staying in the country's largest and richest city, Mumbai, and once again I've been seduced by India's sensory overload.Mumbai has been a different experience for me compared with other cities in the country I've traveled through and spent a considerable amount of time getting to know.By far Mumbai is the most international city I've visited in the country with the latest shopping, luxury brands, restaurant trends, and the most people I've ever heard speak English in public than in any other Indian city.Like any place I visit I have been walking the streets and getting to know the sections of South Mumbai, with the highest concentration of British Raj architecture including the city's most famous landmark the Gateway of India, and Chatrapati Shivaji Terminus, formerly known as Victoria Terminus.It's here where this episode of Far East Adventure Travel takes place. The streets that take you from one historic landmark to another. I hope you enjoy this little taste of what it's like to savour the wonderful architecture and street life of one of the most interesting cities in Asia.
