How does today impact tomorrow’s success? Everyone wants to have a good day, but not many people know what a good day looks like – much less how to create one. And even fewer people understand how the way you live today impacts your tomorrow. Have you ever asked someone what he was doing and heard him respond, “Oh, I’m just killing time”? If we want to do something with our lives, then we must focus on today. The secret of your success is determined by your daily agenda. It all comes down to what you do today.

USA Memory Championships competitors provide tips for remembering the stuff we always forget | Unplugged El lanzamiento de un producto no es un evento, sino un proceso Hasta hace muy poco tiempo, lanzar un producto consistía principalmente en una serie de actividades de comunicación y publicidad. ¿Cómo deberíamos lanzar nuevos productos en esta época de Marketing 2.0? La idea sobre el lanzamiento de un nuevo producto a la que muchos profesionales del marketing han llegado (sobre todo si son “veteranos” del oficio) es que éste consiste principalmente en una serie de actividades tácticas de comunicación y publicidad: un gran evento, ruedas/notas de prensa, reuniones con analistas, un roadshow, campañas de publicidad, etc. El objetivo principal de estas actividades es comunicar a los diferentes agentes del mercado la disponibilidad con carácter general del nuevo producto, a la vez que empezar a transmitir su posicionamiento en relación a las necesidades de los clientes y los posibles competidores.
