Da decenni alcuni genitori mettono i figli davanti a un televisore con l'idea che, così, staranno tranquilli. Non vogliono essere disturbati. Ma a cosa ha portato questo? Le menti dei bambini sono molto impressionabili. Il dr. Arthur R. Timme, uno psichiatra infantile, avverte che una tale restrizione ha “un effetto molto deleterio sulla mente dei bambini in fase di crescita. … Quanto al comportamento umano, crescono con un senso totalmente distorto di ciò che è giusto e sbagliato”. Ogni giorno sentiamo notizie di minorenni coinvolti in crimini violenti e depravati. È spaventoso dire da dove proviene la maggior parte delle loro idee. Genitori, state monitorando i contenuti dei programmi televisivi e dei videogiochi con cui i vostri figli entrano in contatto? Che dire degli adulti? Oggi sembra normale, quasi naturale, osservare uomini e donne tornare a casa dal lavoro o da altre attività, sedersi sul divano, accendere il televisore e guardare qualunque programma sia proposto; poi prendono in mano lo smartphone o il Tablet PC, e si mettono a esplorare il Web oppure qualche social network. Dove sono andati a finire la lettura, la fantasia o la socialità in carne e ossa? La stanza si riempie di suoni e, se dovesse esserci un po' di silenzio, ne conseguirebbe una forma di disorientamento, che può causare irrequietezza. Qualcuno ha definito questa situazione “Epoca della distrazione”. Il tempo è troppo prezioso per essere sprecato. Non sarebbe meglio rinfrancarsi spegnendo la TV e i dispositivi smart per dedicarsi ad attività migliori? Questo richiede disciplina, ma è gratificante. Anche il ballo è una forma di intrattenimento e di distrazione. La Storia ci dice che è antico quasi quanto l'umanità. Per esempio, gli antichi ebrei ballavano per esprime la loro gioia e adorare Dio. Oggi il ballo non è quasi mai associato alla religione. Esistono scuole che preparano ballerini per esibirsi in grandi spettacoli; altre scuole li preparano per eventi sportivi: balli di coppia, di gruppo, su pista o in piscina. Non c'è ballo senza musica. E la musica è di sicuro un potente mezzo di intrattenimento e di distrazione. Ma può essere anche una trappola. Gran parte della musica odierna è composta ed eseguita con lo scopo di eccitare i propri desideri egoistici. Certa musica, come il “rock ‘n' roll” e il rap, riflette lo spirito di ribellione e spesso include testi suggestivi che incoraggiano la violenza. Non lasciamoci distrarre da questa ‘Epoca di distrazione'. Scegliamo con saggezza lo svago! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/corgiov/message

We had the pleasure of interviewing Bert Keely over Zoom video! Echoing the '60s psychedelic happenings around Stanford University, Bert Keely has woven two remarkable careers - as a pioneering Silicon Valley computer engineer and a wonderfully versatile guitarist. During the dotcom boom, the band he co-created - the Flying Other Brothers - made some phenomenal music, worth a new listen and now collected in the new limited-edition box set Circle Back!A 20-year retrospective featuring the Flying Other Brothers, Circle Back! includes three full-length albums Skywriting, Bert's Brew, and Alive and Grateful with special guests on select tracks, including Bob Weir of The Grateful Dead, guitarist G.E. Smith, and producer T Bone Burnett.At the start of the dotcom boom in the late '90s, Keely and his bandmates were at the epicenter of tech innovations that dramatically changed the world. While Bert worked closely with Bill Gates at Microsoft (1998 - 2008) and led the company's team to engineer the first Tablet PC prototype (LINK: Gates' 2000 keynote with Keely), Keely is also known by insiders as the engineer who convinced Steve Jobs to develop the iPad. His Silicon Valley tech community was swept up in the vast potential good of the Internet. Now more than a decade after their last flights, on tour and especially on San Francisco's live music scene, this band of techies virtually reunites on Circle Back! to celebrate the best of the Flying Other Brothers.Founding Flying Other Brothers band members Roger McNamee (venture capitalist), Giles McNamee (investment banker), Bill Bennett (marketing/PR strategist), Tony Bove (technology author), Larry Marcus (venture capitalist), and Keely were techies to the core, fond of the Grateful Dead who had also formed in the neighborhoods around Stanford.Keely's only time seeing Garcia live was at the Keystone in '78 with the Jerry Garcia Band; it was in the same room (previously known as The Big Beat) that the Grateful Dead played their first Acid Test under that name. In '78, Keely was a junior at Stanford studying engineering under professor Bob McKim who had conducted what became known as "engineering acid tests" to understand the creative potential of psychedelics. The next year Keely came to release his solo debut album of psychedelic folk, Take Me Home, in '79. For Keely and the Flying Other Brothers, music and technology were always a weave. The scene at Stanford proved to be fertile ground for Bert's burgeoning careers in both engineering and music.Circle Back! Box Set -- Featuring The Flying Other Brothers:Circle Back! gives an inside look into the songwriting that made the Flying Other Brothers an extraordinary collective who recorded four albums of high energy music with producers such as Jack Casady (52-Week High), Stacy Parrish (Secondary), and Shauna Hall of 4 Non Blondes (IPO). Circle Back! carries their music/tech wave into 2021 with three new albums: Skywriting, Bert's Brew, and Alive and Grateful. Across the box set, Bert Keely's riveting guitar shares the spotlight with pedal steel solos by Barry Sless and electric solos by G.E. Smith, as well as standout rhythm guitar work by Bob Weir and Roger & Giles McNamee.The Flying Other Brothers lived for the moment. Listening to Circle Back! is an invitation to ponder how things have changed in twenty years, and to try to imagine changes that lie ahead.We want to hear from you!

Für den Erfolg von Innovationen sind viele Faktoren verantwortlich. Zwei Faktoren, die häufig unterschätzt werden, will ich in dieser Podcast-Folge thematisieren. Es gibt viele Beispiele aus der Vergangenheit, die an diesen Faktoren gescheitert sind. Zwei Prominente: Der im Jahr 2002 vorgestellte Segway, dessen Produktion noch in diesem Jahr eingestellt wird und ebenfalls im Jahr 2002 von Bill Gates vorgestellt – ein Tablet PC von Microsoft. Woran diese Projekte gescheitert sind und was das Start-Up „Twentyless“ aus der letzten Staffel von „Die Höhle der Löwen“ damit zu tun hat, erfährst du in dieser Podcast-Folge.

Keeping ideas secret is fundamental to protecting them, this is the case the world over. When you have a new idea, you’ll need to carefully weigh up who you disclose it to and howTopics Discussed in this Episode:How to protect ideas against theft by competitors and othersThe importance of confidentialityHow the patent system worksThe rationale behind IPWhen to use a non-disclosure agreement (NDA)The case of Microsoft’s Tablet PC versus Apple’s iPadHow to maintain your competitive advantageThe use of confidentiality to keep methodologies and recipes a secret Key Takeaways:Keeping ideas secret is fundamental to protecting them. And in business, you need to be very, very aware of this. And it’s the same the world over.Confidentiality is one of the core three IP rights, and it’s a very important way in which ideas, systems, processes, and databases are protected.Every great innovation began simply as an idea in someone’s head, and the patent system will only grant a patent on innovations that are not in the public domain.The trade-off that the state gives us for revealing our ideas is a monopoly right, so keeping them secret initially is a vital way of protecting ideas.The state is constantly doing this balancing act. The rights that they give have to be strong enough to encourage the creation of intellectual goods and divulging of information in return for a patent, but not so strong as to stifle creativity or prevent the wider use of those ideas.If you’re coming up with something innovative, expect others to jump on the bandwagon and copy.Copyright does not protect the underlying ideas. It only protects the way you express them.The copying of ideas may pose a serious threat to your business. The more crucial your idea, the more steps you should probably take to protect it.It’s how an idea is implemented rather than the idea itself that determines how well it’s received in the market.Develop the skill of knowing what to reveal, how much to reveal, and what to keep confidential about your ideas.Keep your idea a secret if you think it might potentially be patentable. If information about it leaks out to the public domain, it is no longer protected.When you have new ideas, carefully weigh up who you’re going to disclose them to and how. That’s how you manage the bloody world of competition.There are huge commercial advantages to being first to market, but you need to constantly improve and refine your offering if you’re to maintain that advantage. Keep staying ahead of your competitors. Even though they copy you, make it so that you’ve already moved on and actually improved the product and learned new insights.

First, it was a new product category that fit somewhere between iPhone and MacBook. That despite, of course, a decade of Tablet PC that had come before it. Then, it was the intersection of technology and the liberal arts. Most recently, it was the clearest expression of Apple’s vision for the future of computing… Even as Apple continued introducing new Macs. but what’s a computer, right? It’s the iPad, and rumor has it we’re about to get a new, slightly bigger, and overall improved entry-level model again this spring. But what does that mean, exactly?

    2-Minute Tip: Photograph Your Space   The brain plays tricks on us. It can be difficult to see clutter and distractions in the space around us because we tune them out. That can be true in a home office, in a conference room, or on a presentation stage.   Try taking a picture of your presentation space with your phone. Better yet, have someone take a picture, or several pictures from different angles, of you standing in your speaking spot.   Then look at the background in those pictures. You're more likely to spot potential issues by looking at those pictures than by just looking at the real world.     Post Tip Discussion: Digital Ink in PowerPoint   Digital Ink is feature of modern PCs, especially pen-enabled PC. In PowerPoint, it means you can draw on your slides with a digital pen, your mouse, or even your finger.   There are two contexts for digital ink in PowerPoint Reviewing Content Presenting Content   Reviewing Content   I like to use ink to review slide decks while sitting on the couch. By getting away from my desktop monitor, keyboard, mouse, and desk, it helps shift the context of my thinking. I can more easily apply a critical eye to content because it forces me out of "author mode."   To review content with ink: Open the slide deck in slide sorter view Click on the "Draw" tab Choose "Draw with touch"   Now, I can make notes directly on the slides I'm reviewing, circle typos, ask questions, sketch out additional slides, and more.   Then I can save the file with all that ink and send it back to the author to update. Even if that author is me.   Presenting Content   When presenting content, ink annotations let us do things we used to do with grease pencils and overhead transparencies 40 years ago. We can draw on our slides.   To turn on ink annotations during a presentation:   Launch slideshow mode Hover your pointing device in the lower left of the screen Look for the transparent icons Choose the writing implements button When that pops up the choices, choose the pen Now you can draw on your slides while the audience watches.   What can you do with this function? You have a bunch of options, including:   Emphasize a point Mark up a picture Interactively label parts of a diagram Make note of questions or follow-up items Create a virtual whiteboard   After your presentation, you can choose to keep or delete your annotations.   Call To Action:   Use digital ink in one of your presentations. Have you use this feature in the past? Tell us about it in the comments below. Photograph your next speaking space to identify distractions.

Stephen is the CEO of Predictive ROI and the host of the Onward Nation podcast. He is the author of two bestselling books, speaker, trainer, and his digital marketing insights have been featured in SUCCESS, Entrepreneur, The Washington Post, Forbes, Inc. Magazine, and other media. Good Morning Onward Nation…I’m Stephen Woessner…and welcome to this week’s solocast…Episode 450. I am excited to be back here with you — because — when you apply the lessons we cover today — you will change the game for your business. I promise you — what you learn in this episode can be that impactful for you, your business, and your revenue. I decided to record another revenue-focused solocast this week for several important reasons. First…last week’s solocast where we drilled deep into how to monetize a podcast was one of our highest downloaded solocasts – ever! Rock solid awesome and we received some wonderful feedback, Onward Nation – thank you for that. I am so happy you found the strategies and step-by-step process within last week’s monetization the lessons to be helpful. And second…I have been giving a lot of thought recently to my life’s purpose. I know – big topic. But I have been giving deep consider to what kind of problems I really enjoy solving – where do I really love creating impact – and what kind of impact do I find the most rewarding? Just in full transparency, Onward Nation…I have done a lot of soul searching on these questions during the last several months…and have found some very powerful perspective and themes emerging and they really strike a cord with me. For example, I realized that helping small business owners is not only something I enjoy doing and find super rewarding – but – I have been in the trenches…on the front lines helping small business owners grow their companies over the last 23-years. Time flies when you’re having fun. When I took some time to think about some of those experiences – it brings a smile to my face. But aside from the joy and personal satisfaction – I realized that my drive for helping small business owners goes deeper – like all the way to my DNA. I have owned five small businesses, with Predictive ROI being my fifth company, but love of entrepreneurship is something I learned while growing up in my Aunt and Uncle’s restaurants and my mom’s bakery and catering business back in Canton, Ohio. Go Buckeyes! Had to sneak that in there. But it goes even deeper still. It goes back another generation to my grandfather who came to the United States from Istanbul, Turkey as a Greek immigrant who couldn’t speak the language…he had no money…he didn’t have a robust LinkedIn account…or a thriving YouTube channel…he had no social circle. But what he did have was incredible work ethic, he had grit, and he had a truckload of tenacity. And in 1926 – just six years after my grandfather arrived in the U.S…he had saved enough money working on the night shift at a downtown Canton, Ohio restaurant to be able to open his own place, which he called The Ideal. Just two years before the Great Depression. But, my Pop survived — our family survived – and helped his customers survive, too – by giving away more homemade soup than he ever sold. He believed so strongly in taking care of his customers because they would take care of him in return. And they did. So, Onward Nation – the reason I love small business owners as much as I do is because I have tremendous respect for the 28 million owners in this country who are grinding it out, just like my Pop and my family did. Owners who are working their guts out to make ends meet – who are making the sacrifices at their own dinner table so they can make sure they don’t miss payroll for their employees. I understand how hard it is – my family has been there – I have been there – and maybe you are part of the 43 percent of small business owners right now who consider growing revenue to be their top challenge they are facing. And that 43 percent equates to 12 million business owners in this country who are challenged with growing revenue. My word. Something needs to be done about that number, don’t you think, Onward Nation. That’s too many businesses and too many families who are risk. I’m committed to driving this number down – it is a worthy goal and I am just now realizing that is has been my life’s work – but – now that I am hyper focused on the problem – watch out. This is going to be awesome. I have discovered my “Why” – as Simon Sinek would say. So this solocast is the first of a brand new 3-part series that I am dedicating to providing you will critical lessons and the practical and tactical tools you need to change the game for your business. To grow revenue in unique and different ways. To give you a competitive advantage and distinctiveness like no other company in your industry. So for today…I am going to share two lessons that I learned directly from my time with Christopher Lochhead, one of today’s leading authorities on the topic of how companies can become what he calls a “Category King.” Chris was my exceptional guest for Episode 448 of Onward Nation. But before diving into the category design and category kingship – let me first share some context about Chris and why the lessons you learn from him will be a game changer for your business. Chris is co-author of the book, “Play Bigger: How Pirates, Dreamers, and Innovators Create and Dominate Markets.” Chris is also the host of the Legends & Losers podcast. Chris is a retired three time Silicon Valley public company CMO, entrepreneur and category designer. I smiled when I learned that Fast Company Magazine calls Chris a, “Human exclamation point” and The Economist (my favorite magazine) calls him, “off-putting at times”. And because he is also passionate about entrepreneurship — he’s a proud advisor to the non-profit “1Life Fully Lived.” When you listen to 448, you will get Chris’s first-hand perspectives on grit, persistence, and the challenges he had to overcome on his path to success. He is remarkable and it was an honor to learn from him. I also recommend you go to Amazon and pick up a copy of Chris’s book because it is excellent. Plus, come on…any business book that also blends in something about pirates, well…I am totally game for that. Okay, here’s a quick, personal side note…you likely know that Disney World is my favorite place on Earth – and – yes, I actually do have a thing for pirates. Aye. So…if you want a good laugh…go to the show notes for this solocast and you will see what I mean. Yes, that is actually me in the photo. That is all I am going to say right now about pirates. But feel free to hit me up on Facebook or Twitter and let me know how hard you laughed when you saw the photo! Okay, back to today’s lessons. Let’s start off with some additional context about category design and kingship…so I am going to quote Chris and his co-authors when I say… “In a well-honed category-driven strategy, the company designs the category, evangelizes the problem, offers its solution to the problem, and then the category makes the company its king. The greatest power comes from the people proclaiming their own king. A self-determined king that isn’t made by the category is a hollow despot destined to be overthrown at the first sign of weakness.” So Onward Nation – when you focus on becoming the king of your category – or better still – creating a brand new category – you control the economics of your industry, your sales pipeline gets filled with so much opportunity it is difficult to contain, and you enjoy a market leadership position that gives you the power to price yourself how you want to price yourself. Interested? Let’s dig into the first lesson that I learned from Chris. Lesson #1: You control the game when you are the Category King. Onward Nation, we live in an increasingly winner-take-all kind of dynamic in business. For their book, “Play Bigger,” Chris and his co-authors analyzed every tech company founded from 2000 through to 2015 that received venture capital funding. They studied data around what happened to those companies. One of the questions they asked was, “What percentage of market cap goes to the leader in any given market category – or – to say that in another way – the Category King?” They crunched the numbers, Onward Nation, and their findings were staggering. In the tech industry, 76 percent of the market cap, or the total value of all of the companies in a given category, is owned by the Category King. Amazing! But Chris and his co-authors also talked to a lot of other people outside of tech for the book, too, and as you might imagine, they told them that the winner-take-all dynamic they had uncovered in tech was happening everywhere. So Onward Nation – the research Chris and his co-authors did showed with clarity that we as business owners must figure out how we can design and dominate our industry so that we become the Category King, not somebody else. However, what Chris and team also found is that we as entrepreneurs tend to only pull two levers when building a company. We think, “Hey, I’m going to build what I hope is a legendary product or service, and then secondarily, I’m going to build what I hope is a legendary company to deliver that product or service.” And then whatever we face in the world, whether it’s an opportunity or a threat, these are the only two levers we pull. That is our toolbox…that is our arsenal. We essentially pile on more features…make a better product…make it faster…make it cheaper, etc. We think scaling the company will do it. So we hire more sales people, it more geography…we apply a better business model…we sell on the Internet…we open more physical locations…we move our operation to virtual…we go digital. But all of these variables are just components of the same two levers, Onward Nation. The product lever and the company lever. What business owners often do is they make is an unconscious decision to put their new legendary product out in the world, and for the most part have what looks and sounds a lot like a product or features conversation with customers and prospects. And those conversations sort of sound like, “Look at how awesome this new product is! It slices and it dices and it twirls and it spins,” and it does all this stuff. But, when you study what did Steve Jobs did, and what Mark Bennioff, the founder of Salesforce.com did, and what did Henry Ford did, and what did Clarence Birdseye did…as Chris and his team did…you begin to realize is they pulled three levers…not two. Chris and his team uncovered how Jobs and Ford absolutely got legendary product and company down — but the third lever they pulled – was that they didn’t do marketing in any traditional sense that most business owners would consider as marketing. Instead…they sort of understood intuitively that they would need to condition the world or educate the world to think about a problem in a different way…and therefore…the world would demand a solution…that Jobs and Ford would then be happy to provide in the form of their product. But right now – the problem we have in business today is that we have too many solutions without a problem…and the end result is…43 percent of small business owners are facing the same top challenge…how to grow revenue? For example…in 2001 Microsoft launched the Tablet PC. Microsoft was the first big company to launch a tablet computer. But, it didn’t go anywhere because for the most part Microsoft had a features discussion and the world didn’t understand what problem those features solved. But, when Apple launched the iPad, Steve Jobs stood up on stage, at the big Mac Developer Conference and he puts up a slide that on one hand has a picture of the iPhone and the other has a picture of the iMac, and then there’s a hole in the middle. Jobs literally said, “We believe there’s room for a third category of device. Now let me tell you why.” Then he begins to paint a picture with something you could call a point-of-view about how the PC and the phone are actually not great for consuming rich content, and they’re not great communication platforms for the new social, mobile world. That argument opens our minds up to thinking about the possibility of a third device…the iPad. Boom – a category is created and Apple is its King…because the market demands that of them. The Chris shared another example with me. This time, he chose Sara Blakely…the founder of Spanx. Spanx has become an incredibly successful company and product line because Sara made a very important decision. When Sara launched Spanx she did not tell the world that what she was selling was underwear. And, she didn’t call it a “Girdle 2.0”, either. www.inc.com/sara-blakely/how-spanx-founder-turned-5000-dollars-into-a-billion-dollar-undergarment-business.html Instead, she said, “It’s a new kind of under garment called shape wear.” In so doing, she distinguished the difference between all that had come before her and her innovation because she understood that if I don’t explain to the world what problem this solves – and why that problem matters – they’re not going to want my solution. When she had no money, she no relationships…she cold called buyers…but she had grit. So she designed that first, initial prototype and she wore it to meetings to try to get buyers interested and then holy bananas, she wound up on Oprah after gritting it out, but yet she didn’t tell anybody in Oprah’s network that she was going to have to make them, pack them, ship them all out of her apartment. How in the world was she going to be able to meet the demand? But she found a way. And now she’s a billionaire. She created a category and then worked her guts out to make her dream a reality. Here’s key point that I learned from Chris, Onward Nation — “Legends teach the world to think differently about a problem, and therefore a solution. And when we accept their definition of the problem, we want the solution, and we literally line up in front of their store to get the new version when it comes out.” The magic thing that Sara, Steve Jobs, or any other Category King did successfully is that prosecuted the magic triangle, using Chris’s words. That is to say, they get product, category, and company right. On the category side, I’m sure you’ve heard that famous quote from Victor Hugo, “Not even all the armies of the world can stop an idea whose time has come.” That leaves us with the question, Onward Nation, “How do I make it my time?” So let’s move on to Lesson #2. Lesson #2: Position yourself or be positioned. This lesson is what category design is fundamentally about. For a tangible example…let’s take a look at Muhammad Ali. He brilliantly controlled the positioning of his own brand. Ali said many famous things, of course, but one of Chris’s favorite quotes was when Ali said, “If I don’t tell them I’m the greatest, how are they going to know?” We knew he was the greatest – because Ali wasn’t afraid to tell us what category he was in. It was the category of “The Greatest” and it was a category of ONE. And because he WAS the category – he controlled the economics of that category and everyone else was simply an inferior competitor. The categorization of companies and brands is a continuous thing. We as humans put everything, products, companies, services, and even other human beings into buckets in our head. Buckets like “must have,” “nice to have,” or maybe “I don’t care.” But then some marketers and business owners say, “We’ve got to figure out how to make people believe we’re a vitamin, not an aspirin.” But, as Chris taught me, what they’re really saying is, “Our category has to be urgent and important and worthy of investment.” Chris then shared a very tangible example with me. In 1999, Michael Dell was one of the most celebrated entrepreneurs on planet Earth. He was running an incredible company called Dell Computer. He was on the cover of Fortune Magazine and Multi billionaire, etc. You probably know the story, Onward Nation. However, if you roll the clock forward today, Michael Dell could walk through Times Square in New York City and go unrecognized yet he still runs the same company and he still sells the same kind of products that he sold back then. But now the company is in a lot of trouble. Had to do some horrible reverse engineering and merge with other companies and it was really fighting for its life. Onward Nation, we might ask, “But what changed?” Same guy, same products, same company, what changed is what Chris and his team call “Category violence.” The cloud, virtualization, social, mobile and all the things that we today take for granted came along, and made laptops, desktops, storage and servers not that important. In other words, the market shifted from where Dell was to where it is today, and that’s what legendary category designers do. They take a different approach to educating the world, to shift the world from the way it is to the way they want it to be. In so doing they open the world to a new problem and a new solution. When that happens a new category emerges, and if you prosecute the magic triangle, as Chris likes to say, you can get two-thirds of the economics in your space. When that happens you get to hang out with Sara Blakely. Even companies that we think of as exceptional marketers, like Disney, struggle in getting category right. For years, and still to some degree today, is struggling with how to position Animal Kingdom. One of the things that drives Disney crazy is when people refer to Animal Kingdom as a zoo, and their defense back has been, “It’s not a zoo,” and they’re trying to make it not a zoo, and now they’re finally getting traction, and that park is well over a decade old. So, Onward Nation, if you don’t tell people what you are then they’re going to apply whatever filter – or bucket — to what you do. And they’re going to make that up. Chris has discussions with entrepreneurs all the time and he asks, “Tell me about your business.” It’s my favorite opening question to ask, and often what I hear is similar to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, “Well, we’re sort of like this, but we’re not really like that. We do kind of this, but we’re a new version of that.” Then there’s this sort of discussion about all the things that they’re not, and so they go on for ten minutes trying to convince Chris they’re not a zoo. But guess what Chris is left with in his mind after all that convincing? That Animal Kingdom is a freaking zoo! Or you’re a Zoo 2.0. “2.0” is the word we put after things we don’t know. If you want to stand alone, and declare your product, your service as a true innovation then by definition it’s got to be a new category. Onward Nation, we accept other people’s thinking about the world, about our business, about our life. Category design really is trying to say to the entrepreneurs and the innovators in the world, every market or category got designed by somebody, either intentionally or on purpose, and the minute you position yourself, your company, your product inside an existing category, you are playing their game. In other words, you are living in somebody else’s thinking about how the world should perceive the value you provide — and particularly — the problem that you are solving and why solving that problem matters. What Chris and his team know is legends don’t live inside other people’s thinking. Legends ask themselves the questions, “How do I want this market to behave? Why is it the rules are this way?” Another example is Netflix vs. Blockbuster. Reed Hastings says it’s ridiculous that customers had to go to a video store, they don’t have the video that you want, you pay a late fee, etc. And instead asks the question, “Wouldn’t it be awesome if you could just go to a website, type in all your favorite movies and they magically show up in your mailbox?” In so doing Reed hacks the future, he changes the future, he creates by reimagining the problem called how do I get video into the home, and teaching us to think about how he thinks about it we all accept his problem definition, and therefore his solution. Conversely, Blockbuster went bankrupt because they couldn’t solve the problem and now Reed Hastings is one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the consumer Internet today. Our job as leaders, as entrepreneurs, is to create the future of our choosing and not to accept somebody else’s definition for how things should be. Legendary innovators do not leave their market category to chance. They don’t do marketing. They don’t do traditional marketing, Onward Nation. They articulate a point-of-view, and that point-of-view evangelizes a problem, and when that resonates with customers and it resonates with people at scale…everything changes. Once the world sees the problem the same way you want them to, Onward Nation, they cannot un-see it. Then they have to have YOUR solution. You become KING. Well, that’s what Henry Ford did. Legendary category designers understand that on the one hand you’ve got to meet the market where it is because if he had said the word “automobile” the world would not have understood. It’s shapeware vs. girdle. And we wouldn’t know who Henry Ford is. But, he was a category designer. He found a way to meet the world where it was and to use language in a very powerful way…a new language. He created a new language to take the world from where they were to where he wanted them to be. So he called his product the horseless carriage. And in so doing everybody understood what a horse and buggy was, right? Then you say horseless carriage and you go “Oh!” and the world stops. So take this lesson from Chris — think about what are things called and why are they called that, Onward Nation. When what today we call smartphones first came out, for a long time they were called, “Wireless phones.” They were in the context of what they’re not. Today they’re beginning to be described more like what they are…smartphones. And fully loaded iPhone 7 Plus, out the door is $1,000, and the reason Apple is able to do that is because we don’t think it’s a phone anymore. So, Onward Nation — pay attention to what things are named. When you position yourself inside of somebody else’s category, you are letting somebody else designed the game. And when that happens, you’re probably not in the position to take two-thirds of the economics and be the category king. Instead, Onward Nation…be intentional about category and follow Chris’ advice for prosecuting the magic triangle…and pull three levers…not the typical tow. When you do that…you will be in a position to command the economics in your category – because you will likely have created a brand new category just like Sara Blakely. With that said…I want to say thank you for being here today. I always appreciate your time and feedback. I also encourage you to download next week’s solocast – part two in our Grow Revenue series. We will dig deep into tools and the precise steps you can apply in order to fill your sales pipeline like a pro. Why is that important? Because like we discussed at the onset of today’s conversation…nearly 12 million business owners cite “Growing Revenue” as their top challenge. They are indeed feeling category pressure – and – these owners are searching for answers on how to generate the right number of leads, from the right type of prospects, to buy the right service, at the right margin. So, I am focusing next week’s solocast on providing you with the right tools and insights you need to solve those challenges. In the meantime, you should also visit OnwardNation.com/webinar and register for the free workshop I am teaching on March 23rd that will take a deep dive into how you can harness the power of LinkedIn to generate a steady stream of well-prepared prospects flowing into your business. Again, that’s OnwardNation.com/webinar. Until then…Onward with gusto!

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0187 And It Will Be About Construction Contractors Mad Dash To The Year End Mad Dash To The End Of The Year And I Can’t Remember Last Week Let Alone January, April, July’s Stuff! The year is almost over. It is now the (4th) Quarter and year end deadlines are approaching. Have you given your bookkeeper, wife, partner), accountant or tax accountant the information need to complete your reports. Accountants need good information to be able to create detailed reports and save money on your taxes. Here is truly where the expression “Garbage In Equals Garbage Out” comes into play.  It is impossible to create QuickBooks Job Costing Reports when all anyone knows is the amount of a deposit on the bank statement.      It’s the Mad Dash To The End Of The Year as a contractor recently described their Year End Madness to get his documents ready for the Tax Accountant. Are You In This Cycle Of Chaos Too? It’s Preventable! Paper, Paper, and More Paper Bookkeepers and Accountants are unable to create good reports without paperwork, documents, receipts, customer invoices, customer payments, bank statements, credit card statements, payments made using a personal checking account instead of your business account (it was easier because that was where the money was), personal credit cards (I used whichever one was handy in my wallet) and all the cash receipts. Client to the Accountant: Why do I have to give you all this stuff?      Every Missed Receipt That Is A Business Expense Is A Missed Deduction Bookkeeping is all about Tracking The Money. Money In, Money Out is just tracking the checkbooks. Accounting is entering into an Accounting System which creates a Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet for the Tax Accountant to do the Annual Taxes. (Every successful contractor should have a Tax Accountant do their annual tax return) Construction Accounting Is That Next Step To Growing Your Company In Construction Accounting not everything is an expense. Not every item, tool, material or customer goes into the Chart of Accounts. In some case Class Tracking is useful, but most of the time it is used to make up for a poor Chart of Accounts or using it as a “workaround” for an accounting product not designed to have Job Costing Reports or Cost Of Good Sold. Giving your bookkeeper only your bank statements and saying “Fix It” – I Want Job Costing Reports, I Want To Know Details is not enough. Doing It The Way You Have Always Done It – Then Expecting A Different Result isn’t the way it works. Success Is Doing A Few Things Right  And  Repeating and Adding Improvements One At A Time. To grow and improve a company needs to be able to adapt to the changes, be open to new ideas. At Fast Easy Accounting we have and entire department, The Project Management Department, that questions every bit of our Contractors Bookkeeping System everyday and continually finds new and better ways to improve it and make it more valuable to Contractors like you no matter where you are in the USA Including Alaska and Hawaii. Our website www.fasteasyaccounting.com features more video, podcasts, and blogs with more places where podcasts can be accessed, including FREE Forms and new ways for contractors like you to connect with us and get the help you need.     For Clients, we added a Document Management System that links with many of the banks and credit card companies across the country (adding more all the time).  We still use our original Document Management System behind the scenes.  The two companies have figured out a way to work together for the benefit of us and our clients.  Change is not always an easy thing, but we are so glad we did. The same applies to you “The Contractor” As you figure out ways to be more efficient, better pricing, prove a better product and service your cash flow and profits will increase massively which means more money in the bank to operate and grow your Construction Company and more freedom to do the things you really want to do with your life! Without YOU – Building, fixing, repairing, maintaining our homes, businesses, roads, bridges, highways and all of the other infrastructure we take for granted; we would not be able to live indoors, have lights, internet, running water, and be able to drive to the grocery store. Thank You!  Now It Is Our Turn To Help You – How Can We Help?   If you have an existing QuickBooks Desktop – We can help, all we ask is a backup copy to review the file. If you have an existing QuickBooks Online – We can help, all we ask is accountant access to review the file. If you are using a “shoe box, file box or stuff is still behind the seat of the truck we have many ways to get documents to us. We never ask questions are not to beat up on you for "How You Have Done It." You know it’s messy and missing stuff. We know it too, and we want to help figure out the gaps. Our goal is to quote a Flat Rate number for our services that is “Fair To You” and “Fair To Us.”     It Is All About Choices. I will offer suggestions, and my proposal is recommendations.   What do you want? In most cases, it is answers and reports with as little direct input from you as possible. To get there, we have to address  “Where You Are Now” and “Where You Are Going” to determine “How To Get You There” In all things it still takes some effort and activity on your part. QuickBooks Setup For Contractors – We have a Customized Setup for QuickBooks that we know works and we are constantly updating it. It works for all contractors from Weekend Warriors, Handyman, Trade Contractors, General Contractors, Remodel Contractors, TI Contractors, Builders and Developers. You can be “Too Big” but it is not possible to be “Too Small” with Flat Rate Pricing we focus on “Where You Are Now.” Cleanup  Existing Data - The Past: What do we do about what has already happened Missing Data – The Past: What do we do about “What’s Missing?” Examples: Payments only – Vehicle payments, credit card payments; money was spent, WHY?   Examples: Deposits in the bank – Is it Customer Payments (Who), Job Deposit, Refund, Your Money When in doubt – State and Federal Government will treat in Customer Payments as taxable INCOME. You Are Thinking - You know what to do if you just had the QuickBooks file setup Fast Easy Accounting Does The Following:   Setup New QuickBooks File – No Transactions and we return your QuickBooks file. Setup New QuickBooks File – Add your existing Transactions and give the QuickBooks file back. Setup New QuickBooks File – Add and cleanup your existing Transactions and give the QuickBooks file back. Setup New QuickBooks File – Clean up your existing Transactions, add missing transactions and give the QuickBooks file back. Do You Want Something Else? What to do with your QuickBooks file? Try The Cloud Option? We always recommend Hosting your QuickBooks File in the Cloud because it allows you to access your QuickBooks desktop version from anywhere in the world using a Desktop, Laptop, Tablet PC or Apple Product. (QuickBooks must be PC Version; however, you can access it with any web-enabled Apple Product.) For Do-It-Yourself Contractors As long as you have a copy of the QuickBooks Desktop (PC Version) less than three years old you can start anytime. We only Setup, Cleanup your QuickBooks file if you want us to do it. We recommend it… But that is totally optional. Ongoing Bookkeeping  - Who Is Doing The Future Bookkeeping? Outsource To Us, Outsourced To Others, In-House Bookkeeper or continue to give the “Shoe Box” or “Excel Sheet” to Tax Accountant – After all, It’s All The Tax Accountant Needs. Accounting is just a waste of money.  If this is your thoughts; feel free to subscribe to our newsletters, listen to our Podcasts and use all of the FREE forms on the website. This is not the answer your Banker is looking for when the Bank asks for financial statements to approve your loan. We are here when you are ready to make a change.     For Outsourced Clients who want Fast Easy Accounting to do their bookkeeping: Our Custom Chart of Accounts is required, some cleanup to have good numbers starting with agreed Start Date is a must.  QuickBooks File rests in the Cloud. Client access to QuickBooks is Optional and can be added at any time (additional fees). Proper accounting is more than entering in the bank statement.   Reports are only as good as the data received. If you don’t know “xxx” how will we? So much “fill in the blank” information is in your head and with proper documents sent to bookkeeping; this could be in your accounting system providing answers to that question.  Who Owes Who How Much Money? It is almost the end of the year and the Mad Dash Begins. You are starting to ask yourself the $64,000 questions: What About and have I met my goals for this year? You are thinking about what to do for the balance of this year and planning for the start of next year? Should I start now?  Should I wait? I can’t decide! It is time to start fixing those loose ends now! The reports are only as good as the data received. If you don’t know the answers tell us as much as you can and we will do our best to “fill in the blanks.” A Quick Reminder: Forms to the Internal Revenue Service is due on January 31st each year, for W-2 Employees and for 1099 Contractors.

Endlich mal wieder… nach einer etwas längeren urlaubs- und technikbedingten Pause gibt es eine neue Episode mit Christian und Sebastian.  Die beiden Papas sprechen über die kürzlich vergangenen Urlaube und haben zahlreiche Tipps für Reisen mit Kids per Auto und Flugzeug.  Sponsored: Amazon hat Christian ein Kinder Tablet zur Verfügung gestellt. Gemeinsam mit seinen Kindern hat er den Tablet- PC speziell für Kids getestet, einen Erfahrungsbericht gibt es im Cast.  Die Sicherheit bei Autokindersitzen ist wichtig. Aber es kommt auch auf den korrekten Einbau an. Hierzu haben wir ein eindrucksvolles Video gefunden, schaut es euch an.  Und jetzt viel Spaß beim Hören! 

Haben Sie sich schon mal vorgestellt, wie es wäre, in einer anderen Zeit zu leben? Vielleicht vor 100 Jahren? Eine spezielle App soll das jetzt möglich machen und lässt das Smartphone oder den Tablet-PC zur Zeitmaschine werden: Damit kann sich jeder ganz leicht in das Leben junger Menschen hineinversetzen, die den Ersten Weltkrieg miterlebt haben. Wir haben die Zeitreise ins Jahr 1914 ausprobiert...

Mal angenommen, Sie möchten sich nach einem neuen Job umschauen, wo würden Sie das tun? In einer Zeitung vielleicht? Sie ahnen es schon, genau das tun immer weniger, denn auch bei der Jobsuche spielt das Internet längst die Hauptrolle. Eine aktuelle Studie wollte deshalb jetzt herausfinden, wie wichtig es für die Befragten ist, sich auch mobil, also per Smartphone oder Tablet-PC, auf Jobsuche machen zu können...

Sie spielen in unserem Leben eine immer wichtigere Rolle: die sogenannten Touchscreens. Ob beim täglichen Wischen über das Smartphone oder den Tablet-PC oder auch, wenn wir zum Beispiel am Automaten tippend Geld abheben oder das Busticket lösen. Dagegen ist ja auch nichts zu sagen, es sei denn, es ist so wie zurzeit Erkältungssaison. Denn dann, das zeigen neue Studien, kann das schicke Smartphone gerne mal zur Virenschleuder werden...

In der vorliegenden Studie sollten zwei neuropsychologische Tests, der Turm von Hanoi und der Turm von London (sogenannte Mehrzug-Puzzles), mittels Läsionsanalyse (Voxel-based Lesion-symptom Mapping, VLSM) daraufhin untersucht werden, welche anatomischen Bereiche des Gehirns für die Durchführung eine entscheidende Rolle spielen. Die Tests lagen in einer neuen, zur Bed-side Testung geeigneten Version auf Tablet-PC vor und sollten in Bezug auf ihre funktionelle Anatomie miteinander und mit anderen neuropsychologischen Testverfahren verglichen werden. Eine Gruppe von 22 Patienten wurde nach epilepsiechirurgischem Eingriff am rechten oder linken Frontal- oder Temporallappen neuropsychologisch und mittels hochauflösender 3D-Kernspintomographie untersucht. Die Daten wurden mit spezieller Software (MRIcroN,NPM Rorden 2010) prozessiert und ausgewertet. Als Ergebnis konnten pro Test Läsionsvoxel gefunden werden, die mit schlechtem Abschneiden im jeweiligen Test signifikant zusammenhingen; damit müssen diese Hirnregionen für die Verarbeitung des Tests im Gehirn notwendig sein oder zumindest eine kritische Rolle spielen. Die Ergebnisse der Tests wurden außerdem zu anderen Studien funktioneller Anatomie in Bezug gesetzt. Für viele der von uns verwendeten neuropsychologische Testverfahren konnte eine gute Kongruenz zu Resultaten anderer Studien festgestellt werden. Unsere Ergebnisse der Läsionsanalyse zu den Türmen von Hanoi und London ergaben – neben einer Beteiligung des linken Gyrus frontalis inferior - starke Hinweise auf eine Beteiligung der Temporallappen bei der Lösung der Puzzles. Sie wichen damit deutlich von unserer Erwartung und der Vergleichsliteratur ab, in der vor allem eine Beteiligung der Frontallappen, besonders des dorsolateralen präfrontalen Cortex, postuliert bzw. gefunden wurde. Diese Abweichung kann möglicherweise dadurch erklärt werden, dass die untersuchte Patientengruppe aufgrund der langjährigen Irritation des neuronalen Gewebes durch epileptische Anfälle - verbunden mit der Plastizität des Gehirns - eine besondere funktionelle Anatomie aufweist. Andererseits wäre auch denkbar, dass für die Lösung der Türme von Hanoi und London (als komplexe Tests) ein ganzes Netzwerk an Gehirnarealen eingesetzt werden muss, in dem die Temporallappen eine bislang unterschätzte Rolle spielen.

Apple announced the iPad today. Is it a giant iTouch, a Kindle-killer? Does it fall short or is it a game-changer? Probably somewhere in the middle of all of that, but certainly another cool and elegant Apple product which feels like a first volley into a burgeoning market segment. Todd Watson and I talk about it.

Der Turm von Hanoi (TvH) und der Turm von London (TvL) sind Transformationsaufgaben zur Untersuchung des Problemlöse- und Planungsverhaltens, die in der neuropsychologischen Diagnostik und in den Neurowissenschaften eingesetzt werden. Die Durchsicht der Literatur zeigt allerdings, dass es bis jetzt für beide Turmaufgaben weder eine einheitliche Struktur, noch ein standardisiertes Auswertungssystem in Klinik und Forschung gibt. Daher existiert eine große Bandbreite bezüglich Aufgabenauswahl, unterschiedlichen Variablen und Testdurchführung (Instruktion, Holz- oder Computerversion). Dies könnte an der fehlenden Information über die Strukturen des TvL und TvH und an den zu messenden kognitiven Funktionen liegen. Diese Uneinheitlichkeit macht es schwer bis unmöglich, einzelne Studien und Ergebnisse miteinander zu vergleichen und Schlussfolgerungen zu ziehen. In dieser Arbeit sollen die kognitiven Anforderungen an den TvL und den TvH untersucht werden. Wir haben in der Arbeitsgruppe Kognitive Neurologie der Neurologischen Universitätsklinik München zusammen mit dem Mathematischen Institut der LMU München eine Computerversion beider Aufgaben auf dem Tablet-PC entwickelt, mit denen es möglich ist, jeden einzelnen Schritt mit dem „Hanoi“-Graphen und dem „London“-Graphen zu dokumentieren. Zusätzlich werden die benötigte Zeit, die gemachten Züge, die Anzahl der Fehler, die genauen Positionen der Fehler und die gegangenen Pfade aufgezeichnet. Ziel dieser Arbeit war es, mögliche Alterseffekte in Bezug auf das Problemlöseverhalten sowie Parameter zu bestimmen, die die Aufgabenschwierigkeit ausmachen. Mit Hilfe der Graphen wurde der Einsatz von Strategien untersucht. Ferner sollten Zusammenhänge mit anderen Tests zur Untersuchung der Exekutivfunktionen sowie zwischen dem TvH und dem TvL untersucht werden. Zur genaueren Bestimmung beteiligter neuroanatomischer Strukturen wurde das Problemlöseverhalten von Patienten mit umschriebenen Hirnläsionen analysiert. Dazu wurden 70 gesunde Probanden im Alter von 20-70 Jahren und 22 Patienten mit umschriebenen Hirnläsionen untersucht. Die Probanden und Patienten führten jeweils 20 TvH- und TvL-Aufgaben durch. Die ersten 12 TvL-Aufgaben waren die Originalaufgaben aus der Studie von Shallice (1982) mit 2 bis 5 Zügen und wurden um je 4 Aufgaben mit 6 und 7 Zügen erweitert. Die TvH-Aufgaben waren in den Start- und Zielpositionen sowie in der Anzahl der Züge ähnlich. Als Kontrollvariablen wurden das verbale und visuelle Kurzzeit- und Arbeitsgedächtnis (Zahlen- und Blockspannen), die Wort- und Zeichenflüssigkeit, die kognitive Verarbeitungsgeschwindigkeit und Flexibilität (Trail Making Test A und B) sowie das Intelligenzniveau (MWT-B, Matrizentest aus dem WIE) untersucht. Die Ergebnisse zeigten, dass es Alterseffekte in Bezug auf das Problemlöseverhalten gibt. Ältere gesunde Probanden waren insgesamt langsamer und hatten weniger optimal gelöste Aufgaben. Die Analyse der Graphen ergab, dass die meisten Probanden beim Lösen von TvH- und TvL-Aufgaben bestimmte Strategien einsetzen. Beim TvH wurde die verfeinerte perzeptuelle Strategie (VPS) und beim TvL vermutlich die „obstacle-removal subgoal“ Strategie eingesetzt. Parameter, die die Aufgabenschwierigkeit ausmachen, sind neben der Zugzahl hauptsächlich die Anfangs- und Endkonfigurationen sowie die Anzahl der kürzesten Lösungswege. Dabei sind Aufgaben mit einer flachen Zielkonfiguration schwieriger zu lösen als Aufgaben mit einer partiellen Turm-Zielkonfiguration sowie Turm-Zielkonfiguration. Letztere erscheinen am leichtesten. Der Vergleich des TvH mit dem TvL ergab, dass gesunde Probanden zur Lösung des TvL zwar mehr Zeit benötigten, aber der Unterschied zwischen jüngeren und älteren gesunden Probanden sowie zwischen Gesunden und Patienten beim TvH größer war als beim TvL. Ältere und Patienten brauchten für den TvH mehr Zeit und Züge. Korrelationsanalysen ergaben, dass beim Lösen des TvH und TvL abstraktes Denkvermögen (Matrizentest) sowie kognitive Flexibilität (Zeichenflüssigkeit, TMT B) beteiligt sind. Die Läsionsanalysen weisen darauf hin, dass linkshemisphärische Läsionen zur Verlangsamung und rechtshemisphärische eher zu Schwierigkeiten beim Einhalten von Regeln führen. Zusammenfassend kann gesagt werden, dass Turm von Hanoi und London auf dem Tablet PC eine bessere Alternative zu bisherigen Versionen ist sowie eine gezieltere Auswahl der Aufgaben, aber auch eine differenziertere Analyse des Problemlöseverhaltens von gesunden Kontrollpersonen und Patienten mit umschriebenen Läsionen ermöglicht.

Finalement, Nathalie Pelletier nous met en garde contre les services Internet pour cellulaire. Le top branché, 1re partie La biométrie, cette science de la reconnaissance par des caractéristiques physiques, est une de ces choses qui, il y a quelques années, paraissait nébuleuse aux consommateurs. Aujourd'hui, elle est présente dans un grand nombre de produits pour nous faciliter la vie ou la rendre plus sécuritaire. Bernard vous présente le clavier biométrique de Microsoft. Le top branché, 2e partie On trouve de la biométrie partout maintenant; dans les aéroports, pour accélérer les procédures d'embarquement ou dans les grandes compagnies pour permettre l'entrée des employés afin que ceux-ci n'utilisent plus de clés ou de cartes magnétiques. Nathalie Pelletier vous présente quelques autres produits qui fonctionnent avec celle-ci. Parfois, on a l'impression de se retrouver dans un film de James Bond... C'est beau, mais c'est quoi?
