Apple - unethical sales techniques

31/12/2018

 
Does it matter how you sell something to someone?  If you believe in your product how far should you go? Should you use every technique in your pocket if you truly believe what you are selling is in the persons best interest?

I finally bought a new iPhone but I walked out of the Apple store angry and disillusioned 3 times before I went online and bought one.  What happened?

Questions are the answer

29/12/2018

 
The quality of the question you ask determines the quality of the answer you get.  Ask a bad questions get a bad answer. 

It is December 2018 and it is the time of year to be reflecting on what has just happened in the year gone past and starting to think about the year going forward.

Can you really learn anything?!

27/12/2018

 
My brother and I had countless arguments over this one when we were younger.  I had started reading a lot of self help books and had learned about beliefs and their power and was trying on a few new beliefs to see their effect.  ​

One of the new beliefs I was testing was "You can learn anything" and this was also supported by the fact I had started to read self-help books and get some interesting results by applying what I had learned.  I was still a novice but my eyes had been opened to a world I didn't even know existed. 

​Can you really learn anything?

Doing things differently....

24/12/2018

 
There is different for different's sake and then there is doing things differently to get different results.

​One of the sayings that we repeat over and over again at the PopUp Business School is if you want different results do something different.  But what does that actually mean?

My first ever blog post: The HUGE why

23/12/2018

 
Why write a blog?
With over 400 million blogs on Tumblr alone and over 1 Billion websites why the hell am I getting involved?  What have I got to add that hasn't already been written a billion times? 

When you look at the number of blogs out there, the number of aspiring writers that never make an impact, the number of people that are clamouring to be heard online why would you ever want to get involved and start adding your 2 penny's worth?

Well there had better be a HUGE why if you are going to find the energy and motivation to do it and keep doing it. 

So I thought I would start with my motivation for this blog to help you understand what you can get out of it and as a post I can come back to time and time again if I ever lose my direction with what I am doing.  

WHY?
