Teaching is the new selling – has been for about ten years now.
But, something has changed in the last year or two. Used to be that people could place some information online and as long as that info was useful, they were teaching.
Today the bar has been raised and it’s no longer enough to teach, today you must educate and produce results. I believe you are going to see many more courses that include a consulting component and a focus on doing, beyond learning.
With an HTC Vive strapped to my head, I looked toward a wall in the hotel room and saw a person-shaped image. Back in reality, a Vayyar employee was stepping side to side in the bathroom. I was able to track his movements from the other room.
To put it bluntly, I was seeing through walls.
Out of all the things I saw at CES, Vayyar’s technology may be the most impactful. The Israeli company’s sensors use radio frequency signals to create 3-D scans. As the electromagnetic waves bounce off an object, it creates the data for the sensor.

More than two months after he was elected to be the 45th president of the United States, Donald Trump will be officially sworn in to office on Friday (Jan. 20). But if votes are cast in November, why does so much time elapse between the election and the inauguration ceremony?
While 10 weeks may seem like a long wait, past presidents had to contend with a much longer delay before taking up the mantle, historical records show.
This week’s 58th inauguration ceremony will be only the 21st ceremony held in January. Prior to the 20th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, adopted in 1933, every new president was expected to take office on March 4. There were exceptions, such as if a vice president took the oath after the death of a sitting president.
When social media first started to emerge in the mid-2000s as a popular way to connect online, marketers and consumers split into two camps. One camp boldly proclaimed that social media was the wave of the future. The other denounced social media as a fad (something people still occasionally insist today, more than 10 years later).
It’s clear that social media has had and continues to have a substantial impact on our daily lives—and it’s hard to imagine sites like Facebook ever going away, with more than 1 billion people currently using the platform. But when you look at the broad context of social media, and some of the recent developments shaping the industry, you have to wonder—are we heading to a post-social media world?
Recently, I had a chance to visit a company owned by an entrepreneur who had come to me for advice almost 20 years ago. Her name is Anisa Telwar Kaicker, and she is a designer, packager, and marketer of cosmetics accessories–such as brushes and bags–that she sells to beauty brands, department stores, and high-end specialty retailers. When I first met her, she had been in business for roughly five years and was doing about $1.5 million in sales, but she was having trouble paying her bills.
The problem, she thought, was that she didn’t have enough sales. The real problem, however, was that she didn’t know how to gather the information she needed to understand what was actually happening in her business.
Craft beer is a trendy industry right now, and with good reason. As the boom of craft breweries continues, it’s bringing triumphs and challenges for these startups, and we’re seeing an emerging wave of acquisitions. But the most common question we hear from founders is: “Is selling really just selling out?” These founders are passionate about what they do, often having started up not in pursuit of a big cash out, but rather a love of the perfect pint.
The question of “selling out” resonates beyond just the craft beer world. It makes us wonder: Is selling a startup to a larger corporation a dilemma or an opportunity?

Attention all businesses: Upgrade from Windows 7 or risk serious security consequences. That’s the message Microsoft is sending this week with the news that extended support for the 8-year-old operating system is set to end in 2020.
In other words, the Windows 7 operating system will stop receiving security patches altogether on Jan. 13, 2020. Companies that haven’t updated to Windows 10 will leave themselves vulnerable to malware attacks that the newer operating system can easily fend off. In fact, Microsoft recently published a report showing that Windows 10 Anniversary Update — the most current iteration of the OS — could neutralize two zero-day security exploits, even without the patches that have been needed to protect Windows 7 and other, earlier versions of Windows.
Every 12 seconds, another American launches a new home-based business. These men and women start out with a dream, but it takes more than that vision to help their companies thrive. To build a successful home-based business, you’ll need the following essentials.
A Quiet, Separate Workspace
Establishing a quiet workspace in a low-traffic area is crucial for the success of any home-based business. You’ll find you’re better able to focus on your tasks when you’re far from the sounds of playing kids and blaring TVs. A separate workspace also gives any clients who visit you the privacy they deserve. When your home office is distinct from the areas you use for relaxing with your family, you’ll find it’s easier to achieve the work-life balance you need. Once you finish for the day, simply shut the door to switch gears to family time.
