What's the one thing that you are doing day in and day out that will make things work in your business?

You may also have heard him on ABC, WGN, and/or CBS radio, or UPN TV.This week's Healthcare Hacks and Connection, Nathan Navas and Dr. Glenn Livingston will talk about what the culture of a CEO looks like and how to look at business for new healthcare entrepreneurs that will help them grow their business. How can a platform relate to market research that can help them focus on making their dreams come true as an entrepreneur.They will touch on such topics as:Binge culture is driven by the need for constant stimulation.Because of binge culture, our brain is trained to be hyperstimulated by hyperpalatable concentration, which is designed to hit the bliss point in the brain without giving you the feeling of satisfaction.Business is about turning the wheel, not inventing the wheel.You need to focus on what's the one thing that cannot fall down.You have to be able to finance the loss to make the business work.Marketing is not much more than asking people what they want, how they want to talk about what they want, and delivering it.Recruit people who are mission-oriented rather than money-oriented, which helps your business to pave it all.Demonstration is the best form of proof.If you have a product that does its stuff, then demonstrate it to your clients.Hack: When you stop binging and disconnect yourself from electronics for a while, life seems boring, but if you do it and pick from the things that you need to focus on, it will make progress and that's where your dreams will come true. P.S.
