What factors affect the likelihood of any particular human action? Research suggests that six “Elements of Simplicity” play a significant role. According to BJ Fogg of Stanford's Persuasive Technology Lab, ‘non-routine’ is one of these six elements. This can entail sticking to a routine, even in the face of other barriers, in hopes of maintaining simplicity. For example, someone could potentially pay more for gas at a given station because it is familiar and simple to do so. Check out the article in the comments to read more on this!

All the grind, hustle, and grit in the world are meaningless without the one thing that will improve your career: clarity. Having clarity enables you to align your goals with a plan to achieve them—and stay away from the things that can derail you. Ask yourself these two questions to attain greater clarity: 1. What do I want? Though simple, that question isn’t easy for most to answer. It takes thoughtful reflection, and sometimes, a reality check: do you really want (fill in the blank), and are you willing to do what it takes to achieve it? It’s likely that your answer will be different from your friends’ or co-workers’, or what someone else may want for you, or even what you thought you wanted, and that’s okay. This is about being crystal clear with what is of the utmost importance to you; clarity demands specificity. 2. Does what I’m doing (or about to do) support that? Ask yourself to what or whom you’re currently choosing to devote your time, and if this choice helps you move closer to your goals or prevents you from achieving them. Say yes to those that support what you want, and don’t be afraid to say no to those things that do not. If individuals and activities are dragging you down and preventing you from moving forward, let them go. #career #leadership #clarity …see more

Who's content do you prefer to follow? The nature of LinkedIn content creation is of two folds. You create content. You consume content. There would always be more readers. There are creators. But not many How many (on top of your head) are worthy following? If you had to follow an expert in a topic. I'm picking business sales. Both create value... Both have 10 years in their industry. Both are recognised as experts. Both closed deals. So who would you follow: Expert A: They are interesting, with personality. They create relatable stories. They share failure as lessons. They use inside jokes. They use videos. Expert B: They an author. They wear professionalism like a cloak. They keep their content dry. They upload insights and share numbers like a mathematician. Which content style do you prefer.. Expert A or Expert B? Okay Okay, the last one is me being cheeky. If you're an expert not creating content - you're invisible. Both Expert A and B are winning the game because they are showing up and being on their audience's top mind. The point is... be a creator not a consumer. Be a voice online. Be the trusted voice. #stringtheory on #personalbranding #b2b #digitalmarketing #marketing …see more

When I got the chance to be on Chris "Drama" Pfaff's (Founder and CEO of Young & Reckless) #MentorMondays , I asked him if and why you didn't have to try to be the next Gary Vaynerchuk in order to be an entrepreneur. When I was in college, I heard so many students reiterate the same one-liners from him.  "Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook" "Legacy is greater than currency" "Capture attention" And there was this pressure that if you wanted to start something, you had to be a Gary Vee.  Check out his answer below and watch the full episode on his YouTube channel. #entrepreneurship   #youtube   #mentoring CC: Sam Park   Jeremy Becker   Tiffany Parra …see more

Another rough day for US stocks (first chart) as the tech selloff continues (NASDAQ is down some 10% in three sessions--second chart) Per my Financial Times column of a week ago, because of the way some investors are positioned, there's a notable risk here of the selloff feeding onto itself before it subsides. #markets #investing #stocks #economy #equities #volatility #selloff #investors …see more

The weekly quick update of my highly simplified traffic light signals for markets: Fundamentals: Constant red Technicals: Flashing orange Policy (willingness): Flashing green Policy (effectiveness): Flashing Orange. Together, they imply no change in my overall market outlook of continued volatility around a downward trend. (Does not mean there are no investment opportunities. They are some -- particularly in structured (collateralized) credit, distressed, special sits, and ultra strong balance sheet companies/sovereigns trading at depressed levels. But they are easier for professional investors to exploit, together with those with a strong appetite for volatility.) #volatility #markets #equities #bonds #stocks #investing #investmentmanagement #selloff #centralbanks #economy #currency #forex #gold #yields #investors #ecb #fixedincome #forex #gold #yields #investors #ecb #fixedincome #stockmarket #eurozone #fed #liquidity #monetarypolicy #cnbc #federalreserve #inflation #assetallocation #emergingmarkets #interestrates #fx #fomc #vix #wsj #earnings #yahoofinance #bloomberg #opec #equitymarkets #trading #debt #stockmarkets #traders …see more
