你內心住著一隻獅子，是嗎？

昨天我忍不住幫我朋友按下廣告鍵，我真的是受不了這情況…

我的好友跟在我身邊學習網路行銷快一年了，我跟他說過我的每個策略
每個錄製影片的方法，每個祕訣，所有的一切

我投資了多到嚇人的時間、金錢才學會的一切

準確的說，我身邊大概有5個這樣的好友

每個都跟我說，他會怎樣怎樣

但是從來沒有一個人行動…

他們總是停在準備階段，總是在思考

沒錯，我是個完美主義者，我會準備很久，我喜歡把東西做好再推出

有時候連要寫一封信我都會準備
你現在讀到的這封信，就是我在洗澡時的感想

=>重點是我準備了，也行動了

洗澡時我想到什麼？

我想到大家都說網路行銷風潮過了
我看到許多學習網路行銷，最後沒有得到想要結果的人
都轉到其他快速賺錢的領域

這些人會認為，網路行銷是不可能的
所以他們去尋找新的商機

你仔細觀察，如果一人很容易就推翻之前想做的事
一直在找更快更容易的快車道

很抱歉，我必須說句實話

這很難在某個領域有所成就
這就像剛進入一個行業的菜鳥，好不容易在這個行業賺到一點點錢

但是這沒有達到他的理想值，所以當他看到更好的路時，他就立刻轉向
並且跟全世界宣告，我又找到一個多棒的事業了

當兵的時候，沒有人想當永遠的菜鳥

幸運的是：因為軍中體系強迫昇等，菜鳥最後一定會變老鳥

出社會後呢？

沒有體系強迫，所以只好當永遠的菜鳥

沒有人想這樣對吧！

我知道，我也不想！

我以前就是這樣的人…

爸媽、老師都說我是三分鐘熱度的人

對於喜歡的事，我都是三分鐘熱度

直到有天我受不了自己一事無成
我下定決心，一定要把某件事做很好

所以，在我買了第一把電吉他後
我每天花8小時爬格子

我去日本跟街頭藝人混
去尼泊爾找印度音樂本源
去香港買教材
去酒店觀摩樂隊

我想儘一切辦法學習最先進的樂理
我跟朋友在宿舍研究樂理到凌晨三點
我教會我的每一個朋友這些先進的觀念

為了讓自己彈吉他有外國人的曲風
不是談起來那種很不搖滾的台式搖滾
我有10年的時間，沒有主動聽過任何一首『國語歌曲』

我開始把每一本書，都看完

他們幫我造了一個吉他神話

說真的，我吉他談得不怎麼樣
但是總是會有人一直幫我造神

直到我現在離開音樂圈10年了
幾乎沒有接觸音樂圈的朋友
還是有人持續幫我宣傳

有時候，遇到很熱衷學習吉他的人
我還被應邀一起即興

心裡真是#$%%#…心想現在彈這樣是能聽嗎
但是我還是硬著頭皮上

當然，結果通常是令人驚豔
因為我靠腦袋取勝

當一個只會埋頭苦練吉他的人，只是彈別人教東西的人
只會一直copy別人歌曲的人，遇到現場原創
一定當場傻掉

你知道嗎？

我彈吉他20年，從來沒有完整談過一首別人的歌

因為我的目標就是：拿起吉他馬上就能有一段發自內心的旋律

我不想當別人，我只想唱出自己的聲音

當下，我又偷偷地造了一個神話Orz…

為什麼我可以辦到？

因為我堅持我要的

為什麼我可以學會網路行銷？

因為我相信這件事是未來
我選擇過我要的生活
所以我堅持到底

為什麼大部份的人失敗了？

因為他們需要別人的激勵
他們需要別人的領導

他們不相信自己會成功

你是一個天生領導者

你是不是常常覺得，你一定會有番成就

看完電影後內心激動不已，你覺得主角可以你也可以

是的，每個人的心裡都住了隻獅子

只是他睡著太久了

我想要給你一個挑戰

請下定決心堅持，把你想要做的事做到極致

不要管他能不能賺錢

讓自己成為這個領域的頂尖專家

不成為專家，決不退出

如果要做的事，後來發現沒前途怎麼辦？

這個問題很好！

永不放棄這件事是針對：你看好一個事業，它有前景

在你做的過程中，它持續是發展的

你要知道要成功發展一件事，是有難度的

這是當然的，因為如果每件事都那麼容易成功的話

那大家都成功了

就是因為很多人，對於有前途的事很容易放棄

所以這個社會才會充滿菜鳥

現在請在下面公眾宣誓你的承諾

讓全世界都知道這隻獅子已經醒過來了

讓全世界都知道你想要有什麼成就

為什麼要公眾宣誓計劃、目標？

因為當你公開說出自己的計劃後，你的內心機制為了達成一致性，機制要你要說到做到
所以潛意識會自動引導你做的每件事都朝目標前進，以至於讓你說話跟行為一致

最終達成目標

這也就是為什麼敢公開說出計劃的人，大多數會成功

P.S.政客除外

怒吼吧～

同時我也邀請你到這裡怒吼～這裡告訴你『主張成為一個專家的方法』

行銷菜鳥如何靠網路創造奇蹟？

今周刊（721期）：行銷菜鳥如何靠網路創造奇蹟？ (2010/10/13)

引爆優衣庫六十萬人排隊幕後推手

中興農經系畢業後，劉逸珊先是在台灣資生堂當了四年公關，後來飛至美國紐約、日本東京攻讀行銷管理，她從沒想過竟然會被UNIQLO選上成為台灣唯一的行銷，憑藉毅力與創意，劉逸珊成功打響UNIQLO來台第一炮。

/撰文/黃筱雯

九月二十三日，UNIQLO台灣在推特（Twitter）和臉書（facebook）上悄悄啟動了開幕紀念網路企畫「UNIQLO LUCKY LINE in Taiwan」行銷活動，這個網路虛擬排隊小遊戲在短短四天內，參與人數即突破三十七萬人；兩周後活動截止，總計有超過六十三萬人上網排隊。這股熱潮更延燒到UNIQLO台灣開幕當日，超過十五萬人次湧入台北市信義區的統一阪急百貨台北店，為的就是一睹日本最大平價服飾風采。

大膽設定網路為行銷主力

這個在台灣網友間造成轟動的小遊戲，出自UNIQLO台灣唯一一位行銷人員，而更令人吃驚的她竟是行銷界的菜鳥！白底設計簡單的名片，只有右上方一個紅色UNIQLO標示，一九八○年出生的劉逸珊，名片上印著「海外行銷暨宣傳戰略部」；說是戰略部，真的很貼切，「因為台灣本部才剛開始運作，每天都有忙不完的事、開不完的會，真的就像是在作戰。」劉逸珊笑說，八月初回台正式上線以來，早上九點進辦公室、凌晨兩、三點才回家的作息，對她而言是家常便飯。

身為UNIQLO台灣唯一的行銷人員，所有行銷宣傳當然都是劉逸珊一手包辦，從公車車體廣告、報章宣傳到大型建物看板，這對行銷廣告經驗趨近於零的劉逸珊，無非是一大考驗。「每天我都帶著許多想法開會，但卻不斷被『打槍』。」劉逸珊笑著說，所謂開會，是直接對UNIQLO日本總部的即時視訊會議，根據不同的主題，有時劉逸珊面對的是日本廣告部部長，有時是行銷組長，用著略顯生澀的日語溝通報告，自己絞盡腦汁想出來的構想被否決，劉逸珊坦承的確會沮喪，「不過沒關係，畢竟一切剛開始，這是必經的。」

這次將UNIQLO的品牌名聲，成功地在台引爆的虛擬排隊遊戲，其實只是劉逸珊一時的突發奇想。「想到顧客可能要在大太陽或下雨天排隊，就覺得很心疼。」劉逸珊說，日本之前也有過線上排隊活動，可是簡單無互動，於是她想，線上排隊不僅讓顧客免去日晒雨淋，若再輔以生動活潑的互動介面，定能使活動在網友間傳播，吸引更多目光。

因此，劉逸珊提出虛擬排隊小人構想，「小人就代表排隊客人的化身，可以在網路世界中挑選UNIQLO的服飾打扮，創造獨一無二的小人。」然後讓這些小人在虛擬店門口等待開幕，打造出一種令人期待的氛圍，「本來我還想在遊戲裡做出中正紀念堂、一○一的圖樣。」除此之外，再結合抽獎活動，讓參與虛擬排隊的人數天天攀升，幾乎每個青少年茶餘飯後的話題都是，「你排隊了嗎？」

仔細觀察會發現，UNIQLO台灣一波波的宣傳活動，獨漏電視媒體，劉逸珊解釋，這次他們是在台北開店，對他們而言，一分鐘動輒數萬元的電視廣告費，並非理想選擇，「但是台灣的網路卻十分有影響力。」觀察各國網路首頁的瀏覽人數，發現台灣點閱率超出他國，因此網路行銷成為這次UNIQLO台灣的主力目標。

「UNIQLO LUCKY LINE in Taiwan」活動造成轟動，十月七日UNIQLO台灣開幕當天，位於阪急百貨的實體店面湧入超過六千人，排隊人潮層層圍繞阪急，如此驚人的景象，讓劉逸珊再接再厲，打鐵趁熱的推出第二波網路活動「UNIQLO LUCKY MACHINE」３Ｄ互動遊戲。這個原本僅在英國與馬來西亞當地的UNIQLO才有的行銷活動，劉逸珊經由視訊會議與兩地溝通，爭取推出台灣版，十月七日當天，除了信義區逛街人手一袋UNIQLO，臉書上也再度被UNIQLO的鮮紅字體占據...（精采完整內文請見《今周刊》721期，各大便利商店及連鎖書店均有銷售）

分享 也是好行銷

與家人在夏威夷群島度假，利用在世界知名的咖啡產地科納（Kona）市時，專程到獲得2012 夏威夷咖啡比賽冠軍的Heavenly Hawaiian農場參觀，當然也藉機買點咖啡贈送親友。

因為是自助旅行，抵達時發現空無一人，僅在販賣處有一（Sorry, we are closed）的告示。千里而來，不願輕易放棄的我，終於找到農場女主人時，為了不想打擾對方太久，表明了迅速買完咖啡即可離去；但對方親切地接待我們一家人，讓我們體驗了「分享」其實是很好的行銷方式。

女主人帶我們逛了咖啡園，不僅講解了咖啡的製作過程，還分享了種植、生產咖啡過程的甘苦，包括如何避免小蟲傷害咖啡豆、如何控管咖啡豆的濕度等。在她邀請兒子協助曝曬咖啡豆的過程，我們一家人倒也客串了一小時的「咖啡農」，有了相當難得的體驗。

在之後的品嘗其獲得冠軍的比賽咖啡時，她更分享了對咖啡的心得，與如何由美國華盛頓搬遷到夏威夷種植咖啡的生活。過程中，我們不太像遊客，倒有點像來訪的故友。

因為覺得像參觀朋友的咖啡農場，購買咖啡豆時感覺像是分享了朋友的辛勞與樂趣，不太像購物，直到結帳時才發現我這平常不喝咖啡的人，也花了不少錢買咖啡。最後一家人很開心，也很舒服地離開農場， 前往下一個旅行目的地。

事後回想，農場女主人不帶有推銷味道的分享，正是很好的行銷方式。因為分享，我們有了參與和認同感，也就自然喜歡了她的產品；原來，一個與客戶分享、讓客戶參與的過程，都是行銷的一部分。

曾經有一個咖啡廣告詞：「好東西要和好朋友分享」，透過分享 也能讓客戶覺得是我們的好朋友！

The 1 Thing a Business Leader Must Do to Succeed

Sadly, 25% of businesses fail within their first year and an astonishing 70% of businesses fail within ten years. So, if you're thinking about starting a business or you've recently made the leap, how can you optimize your chances of success? What is the single most important factor in determining your success? I asked this question of 10 successful business leaders from the Young Entrepreneur Council, and their answers are below, followed by mine:

1. Build A Strong Leadership Team

We used to invest in technology. Then it was marketing. Then we woke up and realized it was all about the people. Bringing in the best, seasoned, Director/VP-level talent over the past 18 months has really helped the owners bring the company's goals back in focus. Do your systems, workflow and technology always need to be evolving? You bet. But at a certain point in company's growth, you will NEED an experienced leader helping you architect those things if you want to go to the next level. - Andrew Loos, Attack

2. Have A Great Mindset

Your mindset drives so much in business: the risks you take, opportunities you pursue, challenges to tackle, confidence level and vision. The great thing is that even if you have doubts and fears now, your mindset can change and grow with you as an entrepreneur. The things that once terrified me are now easy to manage and I understand much better why entrepreneurship is an excellent avenue for personal growth and development! - Kelly Azevedo, She's Got Systems

3. Execute

Hands down, continuing to execute to accomplish your goals is the single most important factor in making your business a success. Without continual execution, businesses sink. However, executing on the right goals will not only keep you from sinking, it will help you excel. - Stacey Ferreira, MySocialCloud

.

.

4. Have a Passion for Change

At Star Toilet Paper, we have a deep-seated yearning to change the world and that is what we are doing and will continue to do. Each and every week, we have a weekly email that we sign off with, "Let's change the world and disrupt the status quo." Having an internal team slogan like that really helps bring out the best in us and continues to fuel our passion. - Bryan Silverman, Star Toilet Paper

.

5. Create Value

Purchase decisions almost always come down to value --- customers must realize a benefit from working with your business. That can mean a multitude of things, such as cost savings, convenience, reliability, increased quality, etc. Effectively providing value is integral to the long-term success of your company; not only does it assist in retaining your current customers, but also provides the highest-quality referrals you can ask for when attempting to gain new business. - Charles Bogoian, Kenai Sports, LLC 

.

6. Work With Clients Who Share Your Beliefs

Being ourselves and working with companies who share our beliefs is everything. We believe design makes a difference and we look to work with companies who agree. We also work with companies who know the people inside the building are what counts. Working with companies with soul has been the key to our success. - Chuck Longanecker, digital-telepathy

7. Focus

It's so tempting early on to chase after every interesting idea and business opportunity. Learning to say "no" or at least "not yet" is paramount to every entrepreneur's success. Focus on what's most important. Your customers and investors will thank you for it eventually. - Ryan Buckley, Scripted, Inc.

.

.

.

8. Serve Your Customers

By providing your product or service in a fast, convenient, and friendly way, you'll establish your business as one built for the long term. Any unsatisfied customers should be compensated to ensure they'll still consider you for future business. Happy customers are everything. - Andrew Schrage, Money Crashers Personal Finance

.

.

9. Remain Unsatisfied

I am famous internally for saying "we're almost there" when referring to the business. The truth is that "there" is a constantly moving goal post. As a team, we have a positive but relentless and never-satisfied attitude, which in turn results in our company always pushing for better and never being complacent. - Lauren Friese, TalentEgg

.

.

.

10. Hire the Right People

I was telling my team just last week that regardless of how much we market or sell, if we don't create good products (in our case, websites), then we can't progress. It's people who create those sites, so hiring the best developers (or widget makers, or whoever makes your business succeed) is vital to keeping the engine of your business running. - Hassan Bawab, Magic Logix

These are the single most important things a leader must do to succeed in business according to ten successful young entrepreneurs. But wait - there are 10 different factors listed above! So which, in fact, is most important?

My answer to this question:

Focus is the single most important factor in determining your success as a business leader.

Focus means understanding what your priorities are in any given hour, day, month, quarter or year. Focus means knowing what's most important - product, service, hiring, fundraising, sales or innovation, and then concentrating on that one thing. Focus means knowing what's not as important in any given time period. Without focus, it's easy to wander - it's easy to become reactive instead of proactive - it's easy to fail. With focus and determination, you and your team will understand what's most important, and help you execute - to success. So that unlike that 70%, you can beat the odds and maintain a successful business over time.

-----

Now it's your turn. How important do you think focus is for leaders in determining business success? How important do you think the other factors listed above are? What do YOUthink is the single most important factor in determining whether a business succeeds or fails? Let me know in the Comments section below, please share this post with yournetwork, and here's to your success!

How to Dress for Success Today

I'm warning you: Based on conversations about this topic at my office, you may find this post to be controversial - you may totally disagree with me. You may even find it to be trivial. But with nearly 1.8 million college graduates this month to soon be looking for work, this seemed as good a time as any to talk about a question that's not so trivial to anyone looking for work: What should you wear to a job interview? And then once you have a job, what should you wear to work?

When I interviewed for my first real job after college, at Radio Disney in Boston, Massachusetts, I went into the interview in a full suit and tie, dressed to impress, or so I thought. Unfortunately, it was a hot September day and I was fifty pounds heavier than I am today. And unfortunately, I had a bit of a sweating problem back then.

I thought I had aced the interview. In fact, I did ace the interview. I received an offer via a phone call from Peggy Iafrate, who would become my boss and one of my early mentors the very next day. Concluded Peggy:

"We loved everything about you Dave and can't wait for you to start. Well, just about everything. Please, oh please, lose the jacket and tie."

I got the job - but not because of what I wore - in spite of it. Through most of the years since then, I've been fortunate enough to be the boss, and help set the dress code for the office, and it's always been a casual or business casual setting. I've also interviewed dozens if not hundreds of job applicants, and I've seen many men and women dressed uncomfortably formally - (and a few dressed uncomfortably informally.) Conventional wisdom says to dress up formally for a job interview. But I disagree. Through the years I've come to this conclusion, truer today than ever before:

At a job interview, you should dress comfortably and (at most) a little more formally than the rest of the office.

At a job interview, you're trying to show the organization that you'd fit in there. If you show up dressed casually and everyone else is dressed more formally, you won't fit in. That's the easy part that everyone gets. But equally true is the converse: If you show up as a man in a three piece suit or as a woman in a formal pantsuit, and everyone else there is casual, you also won't be fitting it. If a job applicant to one of our companies comes in a suit and tie, it shows that he didn't research the culture of our office - and it counts as a strike against him. Why take that risk?

Two years ago, my daughter Charlotte had a boy in her class who wore a suit and tie to school every day. It was a second grade classroom, and yes, at first, I thought Trevor was adorable. But eventually, I came to believe that his parents were doing him a disservice by letting him go to school like that every day. He didn't fit in, and on hot days with no air conditioning in that classroom, he couldn't have possibly been comfortable.

Do you want to be a Trevor, at a job interview or beyond?

So what's the solution?

Before an interview, ask the recruiter or people at the office what the unofficial dress code is. Then come in, wearing comfortable clothes, and dressed similarly, (or just a little bit more formally) to what everyone else is wearing. You'll fit in, and you'll be comfortable and confident throughout the interview.

Remember, too: It might seem like the interview - and getting the job - is everything - but in the long run, it's just the beginning. You want to work at an organization where you'll fit in and feel like part of the culture for a long time - after all, you spend more waking hours at work than anywhere else.

If you like to dress casually, do you really want to work somewhere where formal wear is expected? If you like to dress up, do you really want to work somewhere where most people dress down?

The best solution?

Decide what dressing for success means for you- and then find an industry and organization where - at the interview and beyond - you can be comfortable, successful, and fit in with the corporate culture.

Want to work in a suit? Interview at organizations that'll support that - where it's part of the corporate culture.

Want to work while dressed casually? Interview at organizations where that's the norm.

Want to work at home in your underwear? Luckily for you, more than ever before, there are telecommuting positions and work-from-home positions available. But in that case, it's probably best to get a bit more dressed up for your interview.

-----

Now it's your turn. Many have told me that it's always better to be dressed as formally and fancily as possible for a job interview - do you agree or disagree with my thoughts here? How do youdress for success at job interviews and at your job - and what doyou recommend to others looking for a job?

8 Things Productive People Do During the Workday

Forget about your job title or profession – everyone is looking for ways to be more productive at work. It’s time to set down your gallon-sized container of coffee, toss out your three-page to-do list, and put an end to those ridiculously long emails you’ve been sending.

Experiencing a highly productive workday can feel euphoric. But contrary to popular belief, simply checking tasks off your to-do list isn’t really an indication of productivity. Truly productive people aren’t focused on doing more things; this is actually the opposite of productivity. If you really want to be productive, you’ve got to make a point to do fewer things.

Recently I spoke with project management and productivity genius Tony Wong to find out the secret to a more productive workday. He provided me with some excellent insight into what he and other like-minded productive individuals do during their work week.

Harness your productivity by taking note of these eight things:

1. Create a smaller to-do list. Getting things accomplished during your workday shouldn’t be about doing as much as possible in the sanctioned eight hours. It may be hard to swallow, but there’s nothing productive about piling together a slew of tasks in the form of a checklist. Take a less-is-more approach to your to-do list by only focusing on accomplishing things that matter.

2. Take breaks. You know that ache that fills your brain when you’ve been powering through tasks for several hours? This is due to your brain using up glucose. Too many people mistake this for a good feeling, rather than a signal to take a break. Go take a walk, grab something to eat, workout, or meditate – give your brain some resting time. Achieve more productivity during your workday by making a point to regularly clear your head. You’ll come back recharged and ready to achieve greater efficiency.

3. Follow the 80/20 rule. Did you know that only 20 percent of what you do each day produces 80 percent of your results? Eliminate the things that don’t matter during your workday: they have a minimal effect on your overall productivity. For example, on a project, systematically remove tasks until you end up with the 20 percent that gets the 80 percent of results.

4. Start your day by focusing on yourself. If you begin your morning by checking your email, it allows others to dictate what you accomplish. Set yourself in the right direction by ignoring your emails and taking the morning to focus on yourself, eat a good breakfast, meditate, or read the news.

5. Take on harder tasks earlier in the day. Knock out your most challenging work when your brain is most fresh. Save your busy work – if you have any – for when your afternoon slump rolls in.

6. Pick up the phone. The digital world has created poor communication habits. Email is a productivity killer and usually a distraction from tasks that actually matter. For example, people often copy multiple people on emails to get it off their plate – don't be a victim of this action. This distracts everyone else by creating noise against the tasks they’re trying to accomplish and is a sign of laziness. If you receive an email where many people are CC'd, do everyone a favor by BCCing them on your reply. If your email chain goes beyond two replies, it’s time to pick up the phone. Increase your productivity by scheduling a call.

7. Create a system. If you know certain things are ruining your daily productivity, create a system for managing them. Do you check your emails throughout the day? Plan a morning, afternoon, and evening time slot for managing your email. Otherwise, you’ll get distracted from accomplishing more important goals throughout the day.

8. Don’t confuse productivity with laziness. While no one likes admitting it, sheer laziness is the No. 1 contributor to lost productivity. In fact, a number of time-saving methods – take meetings and emails for example – are actually just ways to get out of doing real work. Place your focus on doing the things that matter most as efficiently and effectively as possible.

Remember, less is more when it comes to being productive during the workday.

What’s your secret to productive workdays?

素人給的激勵- 草地哥

   

當前最紅＂草地哥＂

這是最近爆紅的＂草地哥＂有著濃濃山東口音，唱歌卻像開了外掛一樣口音都不見了～

中午吃飯看見這新聞都嗆到了....

找了一些新聞來分享卻發現草地哥這一紅也出現頗多爭議

２２歲的草地哥，穿的破舊，小學畢業後就輟學在家種田養雞

但有人百度到草地哥其實畢業於北京現代音樂學院

也有人懷疑他是故意這樣穿著與說話，藉此製造形象的反差，博得觀眾的同情心
