3 ways to get new Business that I actually do! It Works!

Things that I actually do that work! 

1) Get Your head right!

That's right! Nothing and nobody will hold you back more than you will. And at the very same time nobody will ever show up to your doorstep to make your dreams come true!! The sooner that you own fact this the better you'll feel, and the sharper you'll be! 
Having said that, let me hit you with this. We live on a planet full of problems. This is especially true in business. People will sometimes ask me..."Are you in the Housing business David?' Or, "Are you in the Automotive business?" (Of course at face value I am in those) 
But the truth is, I'm in the problem solving business! And this is the area I thrive in. Solve big problems. Solve small problems. But for God sake, solve a problem! We weren't put on this planet by Christ to be selfish- hoarders that cant get out of our own way and help people! If you're not helping people, And more importantly-probably; People don't know that you're there to help them. Let me show you what that will look like for you long term. A self centered life full of meaningless time consumption. Zero Passion = Zero Production = Zero life lived. Basically this person is just breathing to death! 

2) The Day will Plan you if you won't plan it!     

Question when is the best time to start your day? Answer... Before it starts!
I won't even leave my house if I don't have an agenda for the day! Plans, Goals, and Targets! 
Ive been doing this for a long time and I can tell you that about 75% of your day is within your control. Only 25% or so is not. Like traffic jams. A water main break down on Main St. And unexpected labor strikes etc... These are out of your control. What's not is everything else. Like what time you plan on waking up. How many phone calls and meetings that you're going to make for the day. How many appointments you're going to set.  I'll give you just a few of mine like today....
10:30-12pm contact business that I believe I fix sales headaches for.  
who are 5 people that I need to get a hold of that I believe can change my life for the better?
Who are 3 people in my circle of friends that I believe I can really help them in a meaningful way? 


3) Let Everyone on Social media know that you're there to help them! 

Look, I cant stress this enough. What good would it be for you to only tell yourself that you're a problem solver and nobody else knows that? That's why I'm not big on look in the mirror and tell yourself 'XYZ'... Let others know on our social media that you can help watch their kids, tutor, install flooring, or fix garbage disposals and paint there houses! 
Work that powerbase that you spend 3 hours per day on!  Like today, 2 tweets done! Four Posts Done! Video Done! Phone Calls Done!

Research Suggests Millennials Should Live In Philadelphia

Survey Says Millennials Want To Live In New York, Research Suggests They Should Live In Philadelphia

by Samantha Sharf  

In a recent survey one-in-five Millennials said New York is their ideal city. Less than 1% said the same of Philadelphia. Ironically, however, the city of Ben Franklin and cheesesteaks outranks its more popular brethren when it comes to qualities the young purport to value.

Millennial-run apartment search site Abodo set out to determine what their generational-peers look for in a city to call home by surveying 2,000 people born between 1982 and 1998. Respondents rated 20 qualities on a 1 to 10 scale, with 10 connoting the highest importance.

It turns out, the top three qualities Millennials want in a city are economic in nature: a thriving job market (average score: 8.19), affordable rent (7.94) and affordable home prices (7.55). Beyond those core three, the ratings for quality of life metrics were fairly evenly dispersed. Rounding out the top third of the list were parks or hiking trails (6.52), non-chain restaurants (6.49) and quality pizza (6.11). Meanwhile, items ranging from top-rate public schools (6.07) to an LGBTQ-friendly environment (5.47) to access to music venues (5.38) all have above average ratings. In fact, the only quality not achieving a score greater than five was the presence of a local college or university (4.99).

To Sam Radbil, communications manager at Abodo, the survey shows “Millennials are career driven.” He added, “Despite Millennials’ reputation for being lazy or entitled they care about the job market and their careers. They are looking for a place that is affordable.”

Interesting distinctions arise when the group is divided by age range, comparing 18-to-22 year-olds with 23-to-28 year-olds and 29-to-34 year-olds. Employment and housing are key concerns among all three groups, though affordable rent outranks job prospects only for the youngest cohort.

Microsoft Is Buying LinkedIn For $26 Billion

by Matthew Zeitlin  

The Windows giant will swallow up another young company. Microsoft said today that it would acquire LinkedIn for about $26 billion, or $196 a share. The deal would end LinkedIn’s relatively short life as a public company — the social network, which was founded by former PayPal executive and venture capitalist Reid Hoffman, went public in May 2011.

Microsoft’s purchase price is 50% higher than what the stock market was valuing LinkedIn at, meaning a big payday for LinkedIn shareholders, particularly those who bought shares in recent months. Before the deal was announced, LinkedIn’s stock was trading at just over $131 a share and had sunk over 40% this year.

LinkedIn shares lost almost half their value in early February after the company said its revenue in the upcoming year would be less than that analysts had expected. Before LinkedIn’s epic fall, the stock had been trading at just over $192 a share. Before investors soured on newly public technology companies with meager or no profits, LinkedIn shares were riding high and hit $269 early last year.

Under the leadership of Satya Nadella, Microsoft has invested in or acquired a number of younger companies outside of Microsoft’s core business of making software for personal computers and selling software services to large companies. It acquired the gaming company that makes Minecraft in September 2014 and bought the beloved calendar app Sunrise in 2015.

The LinkedIn deal even dwarfs Microsoft’s acquisitions of Nokia’s device business and Skype, which it acquired for $7.2 billion and $8.5 billion respectively.

Despite LinkedIn’s size as a social network — it has over 400 million members and gets over half of its revenue from companies and people paying to use it — it will be a small part of Microsoft’s business. The software giant had over $95 billion in revenue in 2015, while LinkedIn only produced $3 billion in revenues and lost money for the year. Microsoft says it expects the deal to add to its profits by 2019.

While the synergies between the leading normcore social network and the leading normcore software giant may not be immediately obvious, Microsoft said in an investor presentation that “by connecting the world’s leading professional cloud and professional network, we can create more connected, intelligent, and productive experiences.”

What does this mean? One example suggested by Microsoft in a PowerPoint (duh) presentation included linking people’s Outlook, LinkedIn, Skype, and Microsoft Office information so that it can show up in a phone call, email, or LinkedIn search. For corporations, the linkages might include combining LinkedIn data with software Microsoft makes for salespeople as well as including LinkedIn’s professional education services, which largely come from a company LinkedIn acquired last year called Lynda, with Office.

Microsoft

Of course, integrating a young social networking service into a sprawling business software company is easier to do on PowerPoint than in real life. LinkedIn could also just exist and persist under the Microsoft umbrella, changing neither itself nor its parent company very much. This was the case with Microsoft’s splashy acquisitions of Skype and the group messaging service GroupMe.

LinkedIn will “retain its distinct brand, culture and independence,” Microsoft said in a statement. Its current chief executive, Jeff Weiner, will stay on board to run the social network.

“Today is a re-founding moment for LinkedIn. I see incredible opportunity for our members and customers and look forward to supporting this new and combined business,” LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman said in a statement.
