DO SOMETHING NEW! Avoid the time wasting trap of it has always been done this way before. Innovate, create, do something new!

I know we like to think it’s all different now but Ecommerce is just the mail order business from 1845. -It’s just it’s done via email not mail. -The catelogue went from printed to your screen - and inventory went from being stuff you selected and bought and delivered to something you could dropship. It’s not that unexpected or interesting as a format: or as interesting as mail order was in 1990 What’s interesting about ecommerce is that the whole world is now the shelf edge, you can buy from anywhere, the camera can be the point of entry, that pricing can be dynamic, that your storecupboard is now infinite, and that inventory doesn’t need to be owned. All things that people largely rarely think about. Instead we pee our pants with excitement that people buy the same stuff, from the same people, at the same price, in a less efficient way, with less chance of people keeping it , and the profit margin evaporates. Time to work around opportunities not the assumptions of the past …see more

Found this screengrab of our Netflix click-to-cancel page from 2008. Changing from call-to-cancel to two clicks to cancel on the website was, of course, risky. After all, if you made it easy for people to leave, wouldn't more do so? Turns out no, not really. Plus, in our exit surveys, a lot more people indicated that they were likely to recommend and likely to return after the switch. It was another example of how Netflix was, as friend and former Netflix colleague, Dr. Joel Mier puts it, customer-centric. #customerexperience #netflix #OTT #oldschool #customercentricity …see more

Happy reunion in Tokyo with Dr. Miriam Were of the Kenyan Ministry of Health! The world grows smaller each day, but there’s still plenty of room for tireless, compassionate advocates like her. I couldn't begin to number the men, women and children in Kenya who have benefited from Dr. Were's determination to provide quality community-based health services throughout Kenya. What a true inspiration. #UHCForum2017 #UHC #UniversalHealthCoverage #HeathForAll #MyRightToHealth …see more

Healthcare has outperformed tech on the S&P 500 since 1990. The power of demand (ageing), even in an era of massive innovation (tech).

Lower inflation next year may open the space for rate cut, but for now the challenge is seeing through the government borrowing and keeping the bond yield low #interestrates #economy #india #debt #finance #recession #financialstability

An important part of building a habit-forming product is finding the right reward mechanic. In May 2007 a Q&A website named Mahalo utilized a special incentive to get users to ask and answer questions: Money. People who submitted a question offered a bounty in the form of a virtual currency, the best response received the bounty, and could be exchanged for real money. At its high point, 14.1 million users visited the site monthly. But over time, users began to lose interest. As Mahalo struggled to retain users, another Q&A site began to boom: Quora . Unlike Mahalo, Quora didn’t offer money as a reward. So why have users remained highly engaged with Quora? Because people did not want to use a Q&A site to make money. Quora instituted an upvoting system that reports user satisfaction with answers and provides a steady stream of social feedback. Quora’s social rewards have proven more attractive than Mahalo’s monetary rewards. Only by understanding what truly matters to users can a company correctly match the right reward to their intended behavior. #Hooked …see more

Becoming indistractable is a macro skill. There is no area of your life that is unaffected by your ability to control your attention. How in control we are of our attention dictates how we spend our time, how productive we are at work, and how present we are with our loved ones. #Indistractable #Values #Productivity #Health #Attention …see more

One time, my daughter and I were doing a Daddy-Daughter interview activity. My question to her was, “If you could have any superpower, what superpower would you want?” I wish I could tell you what my daughter said, but I was distracted and on my device, doing some unrelated task. I regret having blown this great chance to bond with my daughter. Every self-help book I found told me that technology was the problem and I did everything I could to counter this, even getting rid of my iPhone. It didn’t work, as I found that getting a flip phone and a 90s word processor to type weren’t preventing me from getting distracted. Through research and experience I learned that distraction starts… from within. Watch and share your thoughts! 👇👇👇 #Indistractable #Technology P.S.

I had an incredible week surrounded by amazing people in the SoGal community! Wednesday night we hosted SoGal Foundation global pitch competition in Singapore at PayPal , and watched 14 diverse-led startups pitch with 100+ people in attendance. We broke the rule of 1-3 winners per city, and picked 4 winners from this region/my home base. They’re now invited to be in Silicon Valley in Feb 2020 alongside 70+ other winning teams from 25 cities around the world!
